Luxury villa Saga in Drvenik, private pool

10/10 Excellent
"Superb villa in an outstanding location with views across the sea towards Hvar and Plejesac. Glorious sunsets, and uninterupted sunshine across the day, with cool shade for breakfast made it an ideal location for our extended family of 9. The pool was kindly heated for us (we had small kidz), and got a mid-week clean (leaves and overnigh bugs) to keep it spotless and inviting. The patio came with proper loungers, towels, and a good big outside dining table. Soft 'al-fresco' seating at the pool edge kept most our party there on and off all day.The rooms were similarly excellent, well furnished, tastefully decorated, and everythig 'just worked'. Downstairs the vast lounge had more books that a library, more 'tech' than we knew what to do with, and a hi-fi that was wonderful. There was even a proper desk area for one of our party who had to doa remote working day.The internet worked well, even with a 9 x 21stC citizens using it fully. The intengral garage accomodated our big 9 seater with room to spare."

Pocket Guide: Split-Dalmatia Makarska Riviera Hotels

Engage in a variety of fun outdoor and beach-based activities at this attractive and popular coastal resort area.

Makarska Riviera’s history and culture

While areas near present-day Makarska Riviera have been settled since pre-history, the main town itself was established in the Middle Ages. It has seen many different rulers, having been under the control of the Kingdom of Croatia, the Venetians, the Ottomans and the Austrians. Following World War II, the Makarska Riviera was successfully developed as a tourist area. Visit during the summer months to enjoy the excellent weather and exciting activities.

Makarska Riviera Hotel for a beach holiday

The Makarska Riviera is a beach area with a well-established tourist infrastructure and easy-going atmosphere. It attracts visitors with a penchant for the outdoors, who are looking to enjoy its appealing beach and mountain scenery, as well as its many cafés and restaurants. Swim, hike and mountain bike at nearby beaches and parks and discover the main town’s interesting museums, restaurants and bars.

Sheltered by the Biokovo Mountains, the town and coast around Makarska generally experience mild weather, making it a favourable beach destination. Rent a paddle boat or take an exhilarating ride on an inflatable banana boat at Makarska Beach or retreat to the quiet nudist Nugal Makarska Beach east of town.

Besides beaches, the Makarska Riviera has other natural assets, including Nature Park Biokovo. Follow the park’s scenic trails, many of which curve up and around the limestone and pine-covered slopes of Mount Biokovo. While here, investigate the Biokovo Botanical Garden, which not only has numerous indigenous plant specimens, but also offers great views over the nearby islands of Brač and Hvar.

Makarska town

Back in town, walk along the palm-dotted promenade and through the town, where white-washed, red-roofed houses dominate. Stop at the Makarska Municipal Museum for insight into Makarska’s history and the Franciscan Monastery to inspect one of the world’s largest collections of snails and shells.

Croatia is full of great beach destinations. If you like the Makarska Riviera then you're sure to love our Split beach hotels or one of our cheap beach hotels in Dubrovnik. Whatever you're after, you're sure to find the perfect beach hotel with Expedia.
