Hotel Makarska
Well-positioned four-star hotel in the center of Makarska, close to the beach and promenade. Good facilities including pool, sea views from upper floors, and a solid restaurant. Excellent value for the location.
Hotel Makarska is a four-star hotel located in the centre of Makarska, the main resort town of the Makarska Riviera on the Split-Dalmatia coast of Croatia. Positioned at Kralja Tomislava 15, the hotel stands within easy reach of both Makarska's main beach — a long crescent of fine pebble stretching along the town's bay — and the central promenade that forms the social spine of this popular Dalmatian resort town.
Makarska occupies a bay sheltered by the dramatic limestone massif of Biokovo Mountain, which rises to 1,762 metres behind the town and provides a spectacular natural backdrop visible from the hotel's upper floors and terrace. The sea views on clear days extend east toward the Pelješac Peninsula across the Makarska Channel. Makarska's position at the foot of Biokovo National Park makes it an unusual resort destination where beach culture and mountain adventure coexist within minutes of each other.
The hotel's outdoor pool provides an alternative to the beach during the hottest midday hours, and the bar and restaurant occupy a relaxed space suited to the pace of a Dalmatian summer holiday. The restaurant serves grilled fish, seafood, local lamb, and Dalmatian starters including dishes traditionally prepared under the peka — the iron bell slow-cooking technique synonymous with the Dalmatian hinterland. Accommodation ranges from standard rooms to sea-view rooms and suites; higher-category options on upper floors provide the best balance of sea and mountain views.
Beyond the beach, Makarska serves as a starting point for hiking into Biokovo National Park, day-trip excursions to Korčula and the Neretva Delta, and a base for exploring the Makarska Riviera beaches extending through Brela and Baška Voda. The ferry to Sumartin on Brač island departs from Makarska harbour, offering a quieter crossing than the Split–Supetar route. Rates typically range from €100 to €220 per night in season.
