Who says sun, sea, and swimming are reserved only for vacations? Favourite summer activities on the beach are ideal for incentives or team-building activities for business groups. Besides its rich cultural heritage and beautiful historical landmarks, Dubrovnik also offers spectacular beaches. Therefore, if you are planning a congress, conference, corporate gathering, or incentive in Dubrovnik during the warmer months, you must not miss providing participants with the opportunity to enjoy some of Dubrovnik's and its surroundings' most beautiful beaches.

Banje Beach - a picture postcard view

Located near the Old City, just a few minutes' walk away, Banje Beach is one of the most famous and visited beaches in Dubrovnik. With its crystal-clear sea and views of the city harbour and walls, it is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun. Organizing team-building activities such as water sports, beach volleyball, or simply sunbathing, followed by dinner at the Banje Beach restaurant lounge & club, makes Banje Beach an excellent choice for an incentive program.

St. Jakov Beach - a hidden oasis

Located only a 20-minute walk from the Old Town, St. Jakov Beach offers a quieter alternative to Banje Beach. It is a sandy-pebble beach below the Church of St. Jakov, after which it is named, accessible by over 160 steps. Hidden among the rocks and surrounded by lush vegetation, this beach provides an intimate ambiance. Arrange a beach picnic, snorkelling in the clear waters, or simply enjoy the view of the Elafiti Islands.

Buža Beach - swimming under the walls

Buža Beach, located beneath the city walls, is a true example of authentic Dubrovnik ambiance. Accessible through small doors - "buža" (or hole in English) - in the walls, the journey to the beach itself is an adventure. The steep and rocky beach with concrete terraces offers an irresistible view of Lokrum Island and the endless sea. This is a place where participants can relax, sunbathe on the rocks, and jump into the sea.

Lokrum Island - rocky beaches with the intoxicating scent of pine and Mediterranean herbs

Just a 10-minute boat ride from Dubrovnik, Lokrum Island offers untouched beaches and crystal-clear waters. This year, the first Croatian hybrid boat Lacroma is also available. Lokrum is a protected nature reserve with rich flora and fauna, making it suitable for organizing ecological activities and team-building programs. Visitors can explore hidden coves, enjoy swimming, diving, or relax in the botanical garden.

Copacabana Beach - a combination of fun, sports, and relaxation

As a contrast to Lokrum's pristine nature, Copacabana Beach Dubrovnik, located on the Babin Kuk peninsula, is a modern gravel beach with numerous amenities. The uniqueness of this beach lies in its views of the nearby island of Daksa, the Elafiti Islands, and the Dubrovnik Bridge, and it is one of the first beaches in Croatia with artistic sculptures and installations. Here, you can rent sun loungers and canopies, enjoy various water sports such as jet skiing, banana boat rides, or parasailing, or relax with a massage and cocktails from the beach bar and restaurant. It is an excellent outdoor venue for organizing team water activities and evening cocktail parties.

Try your hand at the popular game of “picigin” on Šunj Beach on Lopud

For those who want to escape the city hustle and bustle, Šunj Beach on Lopud Island is an excellent choice. Organize a boat trip to Lopud, a beach picnic, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet of this beautiful island. Šunj is one of the few sandy beaches in the Dubrovnik area. It is characterized by shallow waters, ideal for long walks along the coast or the favourite summer pastime - playing picigin. Picigin is basically a game where players try and keep a small ball in the air whilst diving around the shallows. Let your participants engage in a game that is popular on numerous Croatian beaches and is a local tradition.

Whether you are looking for activities, relaxation, or an authentic local experience, Dubrovnik's beaches - Banje, St. Jakov, Buža, Lokrum, Copacabana, and Šunj on Lopud - will provide your team with unforgettable moments. Plan your next incentive or team-building program in Dubrovnik and take advantage of everything this beautiful city and its surroundings have to offer.
