Makarska

Makarska holidays

Combining beach, city and countryside in one cosmopolitan yet history-steeped retreat, Makarska is the perfect base for Dalmatian exploration. Climbing mountains and touring the Old Town are standard daily exercises, but it’s the ferry connections to Brač island that are the real game-changers around these parts. And when the sun sinks down, stylish restaurants and bars under the stars are where the parties start.

From beach to mountains

The city starts at the beautiful crescent-shaped pebble beach, backed by tall pine trees. From there, it’s a short walk to the main square, lined by the 18th-century Church of St. Mark and the old homes of wealthy merchants. You’ll spot the towering Biokovo Mountain just outside town as well.

Island tours galore

When it comes to getting out and about, you’ve hit the jackpot in Makarska. Hop on a boat trip to famous local sights like Bol, Zlatni Rat Beach on Brač Island and Hvar Island right from the city’s harbour. Could it be any handier?

Nights like no other

Two words: cave club. There’s one of a kind nightlife and then there’s Deep Makarska, a neon-lit café and late-night music venue set within a cave! But that’s not all, the city also has a huge choice of upbeat bars and restaurants too.
