Royal Hotel Ariston, Dubrovnik, Croatia

• Five-star living: For a prime example of five-star seafront luxury, look no further than The Royal Hotel Ariston. Part of the Royal Hotels & Resort group, this hotel shows off first-rate facilities, with everything from the five pools to the chic rooms. Many of the rooms have sea-facing balconies from which to admire awe-inspiring sunsets.
  
  
• Foodie’s paradise: The three restaurants boast mouthwatering à la carte menus, from exquisite seafood at restaurant Zoë to modern takes on Mediterranean classics at La Castile, not to mention Vista Restaurant, which specialises in vegan, gluten-free dishes - each with sublime sea views, plus wine lists that ensure the perfect pairing for every meal. The three bars include a spectacular rooftop and beach option, so you can enjoy a tipple in proper style.
  
  
• Sumptuous spa: Take a few hours to indulge yourself in the spa and wellness centre, which will leave you feeling completely rested and rejuvenated. When you aren't enjoying a pore-clearing sauna session, pamper yourself with a massage, treatment, facial or manicure.
