Kalamota Beach House

From the moment we arrived to the time we left we had a fantastic experience. The service and staff are simply excellent. The food is delicious and the location second to none. No matter whether we were relaxing by the sea, enjoying the view from the rooftop pool or wandering around the island, we enjoyed every day.

Just spent a week here, nothing to do but relax and enjoy the sunshine. Hotel was spotless throughout and staff were polite and friendly. Our room was on ground floor with a patio area. Room was very spacious with bedroom, kitchen living area. Bedroom had one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. Loads of wardrobe space and unusually plenty of hangers!! Kitchen had a fridge which was handy for keeping the water cold. On the roof a lovely pool reached via a lift, with plenty of cabana beds, sun beds and towels readily available, warning the pool is COLD but lovely once you brave getting in! Outside is the beach area with again beds available, perfect for reading and relaxing with several sets of steps access to the sea. The bar/restaurant area has lots of comfortable chairs and tables all with the beautiful view of the bay. Food and drinks are available all day from included breakfast to dinner. We were half board so our menu was limited but the staff were extremely helpful to me as there was a lot of fish/seafood which I don’t eat, they offered an alternative meal. All members of staff were friendly and polite especially the head waiter, sorry can’t remember his name!! Only a couple of downsides for us personally 1. The public ferry to Dubrovnik was either 7am or 12.30pm (one too early and the other the hottest part of the day) you could have private transfers but at a cost of €90!! Maybe the hotel should consider a small boat of their own for guests to share? 2. A few times boats would moor in the bay and we would have an ‘invasion’ of people using the bar area and toilets. We found this a little intrusive when trying to relax, especially when one German man thought it acceptable to ***** out of his clothes and into swimwear for all to see!! All in all we would recommend the hotel if you want total west from it all relaxation.

Excellent hotel where I spent an unforgettable and relaxing weekend! Easily accessible from Dubrovnik, in a perfect location by the beach. The atmosphere and ambience are stunning! The rooms are spacious, and the large balcony has the sea view. We enjoyed the pool on the roof and laying on the big sunbeds. The island is surrounded by beautiful nature and wonderful walking paths. The menu of the hotel restaurant offers a variety of delicious and fresh traditional dishes at affordable prices. Every meal we chose was very tasty, fresh, originally served and presented! The service is extremely professional! I highly recommend this hidden gem away from the overcrowded tourist spots. An ideal place for vacation!

Amazing place to stay. We stayed for 7 nights and everything was perfect. We booked the hotel buggy to collect us from the ferry port. A great trip across the island to the hotel. Too steep to drag cases. Every member of staff looked after us and you can see they love working at the hotel alongside Mario the Manager. We had breakfast & dinner in the outside restaurant every day. All of the waiters were friendly and so kind. The food is really lovely. The island of Kolocep is so picturesque and peaceful in May. We enjoyed a different walk each day. We booked a private transfer back as the ferry times didn’t fit in with our flight. We were so pleased we arranged this through Valentina at the hotel. It was great fun and so easy to get to the airport. Thank you to everyone we will definitely be back.

We were in need of a complete time out when we decided to book this hotel and it totally delivered. The hotel has 11 suites that all have beautiful views of the cove and sea beyond. Clean, well laid out and comfortable rooms with modern decor and design. We had a very fun arrival by water taxi as it was too late to use the ferry. We were met by the Manager who took care of our luggage, directed us to comfortable seating in the bar and organised refreshments which were very much appreciated after travelling, whilst he took care of checking in. The next day, we opened the curtains to beautiful sunshine and lovely views. All meals at this time of year, are outdoors but under attractive cover. No table has a bad view and you can take your time, watching the boats and people coming and going for as long as you like. Food was either a set menu or a La carte. They take their food seriously and yet are happy to flex in order to meet dietary needs and preferences. Kolocep has no roads per se, locals get about using golf carts and boats. The one shop on the island is a 20 minute walk away so go prepared, because the only other option is ferry to Dubrovnik. All the staff were helpful and friendly. We were able to organise tours around the island with snorkelling opportunities in the local blue caves with the best advice as to when to go to avoid the worst of the crowds. We also had a boat all to ourselves when we visited Dubrovnik for the day so truly spoilt! No issues with sun beds and cabanas, there are plenty for the guests use and no silliness over reserved spaces. The cove is sandy and easy to walk into the water. Shoals of fish and hermit crabs - one sighting of an octopus! Great for snorkelling. Shallow waters support children to play safely. If a pool is more your thing, the roof has amazing views whilst you take a dip. All in all a special little spot which I would highly recommend.

This place is so wonderful . The views , atmosphere, service , food. Everything is beautiful . Private transfer €90. Ferry is €5. Then can be picked up by golf buggy and cute little tour across island . Room spacious and clean. Beds comfy . Views perfect . Service amazing . The food is divine. Just visit … but don’t tell too many people ! 😉

I saw all the 5 star reviews and fabulous comments and thought people must have got a bit carried away but … I was wrong .. this is a brilliant place .. Mario and Valentina met us off the boat and within 30 seconds we were sipping bubbly !! The location is superb looking over the small bay and the whole place is tranquil. We stayed 5 nights and kayaked to the blue cave.. and ate superb food . Our room was spacious and I loved the balcony overlooking the bay .. we walked the 20 mins overland to the bigger bay where the big hotel was and we’re glad we chose Kalamota it’s far superior .. we can’t wait to return

A luxurious small hotel on the beautiful island of Kolocep.. quiet location but with easy access to Dubrovnik or other nearby islands by either ferry or water taxis.. All of the staff at the Hotel were very welcoming and friendly and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is exceptional.. We unfortunately lost our suitcase on route so we were without are luggage for the whole week but Marijo the manager and the rest of the staff couldn’t have done more in the way of emails and phone calls to the airport to try and find it, lending us phone chargers and adapters etc.. We felt very looked after and nothing was too much trouble.. I would highly recommend visiting this beautiful hotel and we will 100% be returning..

Fantastic hotel. Beautiful setting. Lovely large rooms. Amazing attentive staff led by Mario. Great food. One of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. Fabulous experience. Easy to move from one island to another. Not cheap but well worth the money.
