Makarska Riviera

The Makarska Riviera, a gem of the Dalmatian Coast, is celebrated for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and dramatic mountain scenery. Stretching for 60 kilometres along the Adriatic Sea, this sun-soaked paradise is among Croatia’s most beautiful coastal regions. It is a must-visit destination for travellers seeking both relaxation and adventure.

At the heart of the Riviera is Makarska, a lively town that combines natural beauty with a vibrant atmosphere. The city features a palm-lined promenade, a bustling marina, and pebble beaches, making it a visitor's favourite. In the evenings, Makarska comes alive with outdoor restaurants, bars, and a welcoming energy perfect for leisurely nights.

The Riviera is renowned for its pristine beaches, many of which are framed by fragrant pine trees and offer incredible views of the turquoise sea—from the family-friendly beaches at Brela, known for its iconic “Brela Stone,” to the more secluded coves around Tučepi and Podgora, a beach to suits every preference.

Mount Biokovo towers above the coastline, a natural wonder that enhances the Riviera’s charm. Adventure seekers can explore the Biokovo Nature Park, where hiking trails lead to breathtaking viewpoints, including the Skywalk Biokovo, a glass platform suspended over a cliff that provides unparalleled views of the Adriatic.

In addition to its natural beauty, the Makarska Riviera boasts a rich cultural heritage. Small fishing villages along the coast preserve traditional Dalmatian architecture and a slower pace of life, offering a glimpse into Croatia’s history and traditions. No visit to the Makarska Riviera is complete without sampling the local cuisine. Indulge in fresh seafood, hearty Dalmatian stews, and regional wines from the sun-kissed vineyards.

With its dazzling beaches, dramatic landscapes, and welcoming towns, the Makarska Riviera is a destination that leaves a lasting impression. Whether you want relaxation, adventure, or a mix of both, this stunning part of the Adriatic coast offers it all.
