Is it “Srebreno” or “Sub Burnum”? Well, here in this charming village, you’ll hear both! Srebreno, as it’s known today, echoes with a history as rich as the azure waters lapping at its shores. First mentioned in official documents way back in 1272, the village was originally known as “Sub Burnum,” meaning “under Župa.” The name speaks volumes about its location, nestled snugly beneath the watchful gaze of the Župa region. But Srebreno’s story begins long before any written record. Unearthed Roman coins and amphorae hint at a vibrant past stretching back to the Roman Empire. Today, Srebreno is a haven for beach lovers and history buffs alike. The village boasts some of the most stunning beaches in the Dubrovnik region: think soft, semi-sandy stretches perfect for families and playful afternoons in the Adriatic. And for those who appreciate a touch of luxury, Srebreno is home to the renowned Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera, one of only two brand-name hotels gracing the area. Even if the hotel’s pool is reserved for guests, its cafes, restaurants, and even a day pass to the spa offer a taste of the high life. For a more intimate dining experience, venture to Ruzmarin, a trendy bistro just across from the Sheraton, where culinary delights are served against a backdrop of Adriatic views. Srebreno truly blends history, natural beauty, and modern amenities into one unforgettable experience.
