LD PALACE
Where the Silk Road begins…
Lešić Dimitri Palace sits within the medieval heart of Korčula Old Town - a former 18th-century Bishop’s Palace reimagined with quiet elegance and deep respect for place. Here, layers of history meet contemporary design shaped by cultural exchange, creating an atmosphere that feels intimate, considered, and deeply rooted in the island.
Home to just six expansive suites, a Michelin-starred restaurant, and a serene spa, the Palace celebrates a dialogue between old and new, East and West. Designed by an Asian-Croatian team of architects and interior designers, the interiors draw inspiration from Korčula’s most storied resident, Marco Polo, and the spirit of his journeys along the Silk Road - journeys that began, according to legend, on this very island.
Lovingly restored over five years, the Palace now offers luxurious residences with full hotel service - spaces to retreat, create, and reconnect. Service is personal and unobtrusive, guided by a team deeply connected to Korčula and passionate about sharing its rhythms, traditions, and understated beauty.
At Lešić Dimitri Palace, our purpose is simple: to celebrate and reveal the essence of Korčula - its history and culture, its landscapes and light, and the depth and generosity of its gastronomy.
Our collection of one-to-three-bedroom residences offers an intimate sanctuary of luxury and privacy. Inspired by the Silk Road, each residence reflects Korčula’s history as a crossroads of cultures, shaped by Marco Polo’s journeys and our own family ties to Asia.
An intimate sanctuary for renewal. Indulge in restorative treatments and mindful practices designed to rebalance the mind, body, and soul.
Head Chef Marko Gajski leads a seasonal fine-dining experience inspired by Korčula’s land and sea, where Dalmatian tradition meets modern precision and thoughtful wine pairing.
Our relaxed Old Town bistrot serving sharing plates, wines, and cocktails. Designed for easy, social dining - from late lunches to long evenings under the stars, beside the sea.
