Within the restored walls of a 1920s villa just outside the historic city of Dubrovnik, Croatia, Hotel Supetar Cavtat has launched SupetART, an artist-in-residence program that transforms the boutique hotel into a monthly art space and interactive pop-up gallery. Each month a new exhibition highlights works by local and national artists, inviting guests to engage with Croatian culture, artistic process, and contemporary narratives.

The inaugural exhibition features works by Iva Laterza Obuljen and brings together three collections—“Trajectories,” “Lines” and “Remains of the Day”—presented in partnership with SHPIGL, a leading Croatian art consultancy. Each new show opens with a reception and an informal conversation with the featured artist, offering guests a chance to learn about inspiration, technique and the stories behind the artworks.

With just 16 rooms, Hotel Supetar Cavtat is a small, service-focused property within the Adriatic Luxury Hotels collection. Perched between the Adriatic Sea and the winding stone streets of Cavtat’s historic village, the hotel provides a peaceful base for walking, seaside relaxation and exploring the southern Dalmatian coast. The panoramic setting and intimate scale make it well suited to hosting rotating exhibitions and cultural programming that complement the destination experience.
Dining at the hotel emphasizes authentic Croatian Mediterranean flavors crafted by Chef Renato Mrakić. Guests can enjoy a meal on the terrace overlooking Cavtat Bay, choosing from a menu that highlights regional ingredients and traditional preparations—examples from the kitchen include wild hare penne and a cottage cheese and honey cake for dessert. The Wine Bar offers thoughtfully curated wine flights and single-glass options designed to pair with the menu and enhance the overall dining experience.
SupetART expands the hotel’s cultural offerings by creating a platform where visitors meet artists and discover contemporary Croatian art in a relaxed, accessible setting. As the program unfolds with a new exhibition each month, Hotel Supetar Cavtat aims to deepen visitors’ connection to local creativity and to make art an integral part of a stay on Croatia’s scenic Adriatic coast.
