Babin Kuk

This guide to Babin Kuk, the resort peninsula in Dubrovnik, opens by pointing out that not one of its hotels predates the parents of the tourists staying in them. It follows the masterplan drawn up in the early 1970s to build an entire self-contained resort town from empty coastline, and the more than three thousand workers who raced to pour concrete and raise structural frames before the season began. Look at the seams between older and newer wings as you walk the peninsula, still stitched together decades later.
