Welcome to Studio Apartments & Rooms Lela on the island of Šipan, the largest of the Elaphiti Islands near Dubrovnik. My name is Jelena, and I was born and raised here in a big local family with a deep love for our island’s traditions and hospitality. Tourism has always been my passion—I studied Tourism and Hospitality, worked in restaurants and hotels, and eventually became a Reception Manager before completing my Master’s degree in Hotel Industry. In 2021, I decided to follow my dream and create something of my own by taking over our family’s accommodation, naming it after my mother, Lela. Since then, I’ve been personally managing every detail: welcoming guests, handling reservations, ensuring spotless rooms, and making sure every stay is comfortable and memorable. My goal is to offer more than just a place to sleep. I want to create a warm, homely atmosphere with the quality and service of a hotel. This is a true family project—my dad designed and oversaw the renovation of the house, and my mum runs a lovely souvenir shop just steps away. Together, we make sure every guest feels not just welcomed, but at home, as part of our family. I look forward to welcoming you to Šipan and helping you discover the beauty, peace, and charm of our island.

... Just around the corner, you’ll find our family’s gift shop, a lovely spot to pick up souvenirs and local treasures. Restaurants, bars, and a grocery store are only about 80 meters away, making it easy to enjoy the village atmosphere. Šipan is the ideal island for discovering hidden gems, whether along the coast or inland. By bicycle, you can explore scenic landscapes, quiet villages, and historic sites up close. For something different, take a kayak or a boat and reach the most secluded spots—hidden bays and beautiful beaches where you can enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear sea. If you love walking and nature, you’ll find plenty of trails: stroll along the sea or hike up to the island’s highest peak for breathtaking views of the bay. Prefer relaxing by the sea? Choose one of the many small, hidden swimming spots or head to the main beach, where you can chill in the shade of bamboo with your favorite drink. Food and leisure are also part of the experience. In Šipanska Luka (where we are located), you’ll find three bars, four restaurants, and a beach bar. In Suđurađ village, just 5 km away, there’s another bar, three more restaurants, and a hotel with a pool and restaurant open to everyone. Šipan is the perfect destination if you’re looking for unspoiled nature, clear sea, and a truly relaxing holiday. Here, time slows down and life feels wonderfully simple...
