Holiday in Makarska

About Makarska

Makarska is nestled between the mighty Biokovo Mountains and the Adriatic Sea and is the center of the eponymous Riviera — a 60-kilometer-long coastal strip with the most beautiful pebble beaches in Dalmatia. The horseshoe-shaped bay with its palm-lined promenade Riva and the lively old town makes Makarska the perfect beach destination with an urban flair. The Biokovo Mountains rise directly behind the city to 1,762 meters and offer breathtaking hikes with panoramic views over the islands of Brac, Hvar, and Korcula. Since 2020, the Biokovo Skywalk — a glass viewing platform at an altitude of 1,228 meters — attracts visitors with a spectacular view into the depths and over the entire Dalmatian coast. The Biokovo Nature Park is home to endemic plants, wild horses, and a unique cave landscape. The Makarska Riviera, with places like Brela, Baska Voda, Tucepi, and Gradac, lines up dream beach after dream beach — Brela's Punta Rata has been repeatedly voted one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. The city itself surprises with the shell museum in the Franciscan monastery, a lively restaurant and bar scene, and regular summer events. Ferries from Makarska operate to Sumartin on Brac. The combination of mountains and sea, spectacular beaches, and Dalmatian joie de vivre makes the Makarska Riviera one of the most attractive travel destinations on the Croatian coast.
