About TUI BLUE Kalamota Island

TUI BLUE Kalamota Island is an adults-only resort on a car-free island off Dubrovnik, reached only by boat. It has 144 rooms across eight villas, one pool with a jacuzzi, three restaurants and three bars, on Kolocep, where there are no cars and the resort is effectively the island. The crossing from Dubrovnik takes about half an hour, and the airport is an hour beyond that.

Guests praise the quiet of a car-free island, the sea views and the sheltered cove, and the friendly service and adults-only calm. The complaints are access that depends on boats, little to do on the island next to a mainland base, and food variety that thins over a longer stay. The thing people wish they had known is that the coves are natural, rocky or pebbly rather than soft sand, and that the quiet is the product rather than a side effect.

The plan and the money

The plan covers the buffet at The Restaurant, the food at The Bay and the weekly gala and theme dinners, with a selection of drinks including cocktails, and Wi-Fi throughout; the Culinarium a la carte is not confirmed as included, spa treatments are charged, the paddleboard and kayak hire and the diving are extra, and the boat transfer is not part of the rate. Confirm the boat times before your arrival day, because they decide it. The 30-square-metre Junior Suite with a sea view is the room worth the step up, and the hillside rooms are the ones to avoid if stairs are a problem. Children are not admitted, and anyone who wants Dubrovnik on the doorstep should stay in the city.
