View All DealsBreezy beaches, lively nightlife and historical treasures – holidays to Makarska mix adventure with R&R.
Pebbly beaches? Check. Stop-in-your-tracks views? Check. Mountain biking and sea kayaking? Check, check. Makarska getaways mix Croatia's show-stopping scenery with activities that spill off the promenade for holiday chill with a splash of thrill.
During the day, adrenaline-pumping watersports take over the waves. The fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down, either. A long stretch of restaurants on the waterfront makes Makarska a hotspot for foodies and cocktail-lovers. After dinner, beach bars turn up the tunes so you can dance all the way into morning.
Ancient sights from Makarska’s past are sprinkled throughout town, like photo-worthy Medieval churches and a Baroque palace. Get a sense of time standing still at the unfinished Svetiste Vepric sanctuary – just be respectful to any visiting pilgrims. There's even more old-school culture in Split, just over an hour's drive away along the Dalmatian Coast.
Makarska's natural harbour sits cosily on a bay between woodlands, so it's a big draw for nature lovers. An hour inland by car, Biokovo Nature Park's home to Croatia's second-highest mountain, Mount Biokovo – take on the climb for epic views of the coastline. An hour's ferry ride away is the island of Brac, home to the famed Zlatni Rat Beach.
