About Orebić
Orebić is a port town on the Pelješac peninsula, facing Korčula town across a narrow strait. Tourism is a main income, concentrated in summer, and the waterfront is lined with large sea captains' homes, some still owned by descendants, with a maritime museum on the promenade. The main beach is Trstenica, a pebble-sand beach with pedal boats, jet skis and an aqua park. Behind the town, Mount Sveti Ilija has signposted paths up from Orebić, Viganj and Kučište. Our homes sit close together, mostly for two to four people, nearly all with a garden. Many have a private pool and many have a sauna, and few sleep more than eight.
Is Orebić right for you?
- Best for
- Walkers, windsurfers and couples wanting Korčula by boat
- Not for you if
- You want a short transfer, since Dubrovnik is about 112 km away and Split some three to four hours by car.
Near Orebić
Korčula town
Reached by a short ferry across the strait, about 15 minutes, with Jadrolinija running the crossing roughly hourly.
Viganj and Kučište
Windsurfing spots on the same coast, also starting points for the signposted paths up Mount Sveti Ilija.
Franciscan monastery
The Franciscan monastery of Our Lady of Angels looks out over the coast, reached on foot or by a steep road that needs careful driving.
Lumbarda
A village on Korčula island, across the strait, with sandy beaches, so it pairs well with a boat trip from Orebić.
Getting to Orebić
Dubrovnik and Split are the nearest airports. Orebić is about 112 km from Dubrovnik and some three to four hours' drive from Split. A car is the easiest way to travel, though buses run from Dubrovnik, Split and Zagreb. From Split, the Ploče to Trpanj ferry takes about 50 minutes of sailing and shortens the drive.
When to go to Orebić
Summer is the peak, when tourism matters most to Orebić's income and taxi boats to Korčula run from June to September. Some bars and seasonal venues open only in season. The marked paths up Mount Sveti Ilija give walkers a reason to come outside the beach weeks. Check opening times before an off-season visit.
