Lopud 1483

LOPUD 1483 enjoys an exclusive and private position overlooking the small harbour and islands beyond. This undiscovered island sanctuary has been designed as a place where history, art and botanical exploration ignite the senses. Sensitively restored from its 15th century incarnations, today LOPUD 1483 is a private, tranquil retreat that seamlessly merges history and heritage with privacy and sophistication.
Yours on an exclusive basis, LOPUD 1483 is the ideal place for families to gather together for a special occasion, be that a birthday or anniversary celebration.

With abundant space for relaxation, al fresco dining or quiet contemplation, LOPUD 1483’s extensive gardens are awash with Mediterranean greenery, herbs and native fauna. At their heart, with a sweeping view over the sea, lies a fortress that once protected the security of the island’s inhabitants, providing shelter and a means of defence against the attacks of Ottoman pirates. From the top of the fortress, experience majestic views over the neighbouring island of Šipan and the national park on Mljet.

Take a quiet moment to explore the carefully curated Sacred Garden, created by Arctic shaman, Åsa Andersson. The nine distinct stations are designed for meditation and contemplation, each rooted in ancient Norse and Sami healing traditions.

In another tranquil corner of the grounds lies the traditional Franciscan Pharmacy, inspired by the monks who once lived and meditated here. A significant attention has been devoted to a contemporary rendering of the Franciscan healing tradition and delicately restored the monastery’s medicinal garden through a collaboration between architects and horticulturalists. Today this area of the garden is filled with citrus fruits and aromatic, medicinal herbs used in the Franciscan pharmaceutical tradition.

The secluded atmosphere of the monastery, fortress, and garden provides a unique backdrop to any event. Meditate, debate, and relax, reconnect with nature in the secluded gardens, or unlock your creativity inspired by the masterful works of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary collection. For overnight stays, five unique bedrooms are available, decorated with stunning examples of contemporary artwork from Lopud’s collection. Further accommodation can be arranged within easy walking distance.

LOPUD 1483 offers a variety of locations and experiences that can be tailored to every taste, from the most intimate and private gatherings to high-profile events, as well as seminars, film festivals, performances and concerts.
