To tell the truth, the whole area you toured is absolutely spectacular. It looks like Spain looked 40 years ago, before the construction boom.

Dubrovnik is, with reason, the pearl of the Adriatic. Similar to it is the isle of Sveti Stevan in Montenegro, only a little bit further south than you were. It was where Tito used to vacation, and many American celebrities rent rooms there (exactly which ones escape me). It's a small, walled, fishing village which has been completely turned into a luxury hotel, with the old houses doubling as rooms today. It is open to visitors, however, so that is one of my recommendations.
