Absolutely brilliant!!! The transfer to bowa was so fun, and the captain, Džoni was brilliant and kind! We were then welcomed by Josip and Šejla that showed us around and took us to our Cabana. The location was nothing short of extraordinary! Our waiter, Dominik, was so good and explained each meal in detail we were thrilled and pleasantly surprised how good every bite tasted. WOW!! Definitely 10/10, would love to come back, and I definitely recommend this experience to absolutely anyone!!

BOWA was absolutely incredible. We went two days in a row because it was so good. The cuisine is creative and fresh. Delicious! The view is stunning. The staff is so hospitable and gracious. From the moment you step off the boat, the young man greets you at the dock with a smile and friendly welcome. Our waiters were so attentive (Christian and Dominick). I have a food allergy and both waiters made sure my lunch was suited to my need- which I really appreciated!! It’s so nice to swim in the beautiful water surrounding BOWA. 5 star experience. A memorable day. I know every time we visit Dubrovnik we will go back to BOWA- because it truly is the “Best Of What’s Around”!

The perfect spot to spend the day by the water. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly and capable (thank you Kristian!). Worth every penny.

This is a unique restaurant that if you’re in the area you must visit. It’s kind of surreal at times. The setting is so amazing and the food and service equally good. It’s a sort of place where if some Hollywood A-lister got off a boat and took a table you would not be the least surprised.

Very good day. It’s an all-day deal for us. We got a cabana, swam twice (best water and fishes), napped once, … wonderful. Had a seven-course lunch, served in three sessions with the latest at 5pm…

BOWA – best of what’s around, and it certainly didn’t disappoint! Tucked away on a small island near Dubrovnik, this really was a little slice of paradise. The boat transfer to get there set the scene perfectly, and our private cabana came with stunning views. Service was impeccable – they truly couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcome and looked after. The food was five-star, straight out of the sea and couldn’t have been fresher. There was even the bonus of an ‘inter-course’ dip in the sea to cool off before finally heading home by boat. A fantastic experience all round!
