Makarska
Where dramatic mountains meet pristine beaches on Croatia's most beautiful stretch of coastline.
Discover the Makarska Riviera
The Makarska Riviera stretches along 60km of the Croatian coast, backed by the dramatic Biokovo mountain range. The contrast of rugged peaks plunging into the turquoise Adriatic creates some of the most spectacular scenery in the Mediterranean.
Makarska town is the heart of this riviera - a charming resort with a beautiful palm-lined promenade, excellent beaches, and a lively summer atmosphere. It's particularly popular with families and those who love combining beach time with mountain adventures.
The Biokovo Nature Park offers hiking trails with staggering views, including the newly opened Biokovo Skywalk - a glass viewing platform 1,228 meters above sea level. Down below, the clear waters are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and water sports.
