Top neighbourhoods in Makarska

Makarska Old Town

Makarska Old Town wraps you in centuries of history with its honey-colored stone buildings and red-tiled roofs. Wander through narrow cobblestone streets past St. Mark's Church and the Franciscan Monastery while soaking up serious medieval vibes. The palm-lined Riva promenade is where locals and visitors gather to watch boats bob in the crystalline Adriatic waters. Fresh seafood dominates waterfront restaurants where you can sample black risotto with stunning harbour views. Boutique hotels and historic stone apartments make for dreamy stays within these ancient walls. Everything's walkable in this compact area, though those cobblestones definitely call for comfortable shoes.

Ratac

Ratac offers the quintessential Croatian beach experience without the usual tourist circus. The pebble beaches beckon with crystal-clear Adriatic waters perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Pine groves provide natural shade while the dramatic Biokovo mountains create a jaw-dropping backdrop for your beach days. The coastal promenade invites evening strolls with unforgettable sunset views. Family-run konobas serve fresh seafood and authentic Dalmatian dishes just steps from the water's edge. Accommodation consist mostly of private apartments and small pensions with sea views, giving you that local-living feel. The peaceful residential vibe makes Ratac ideal for travellers seeking a quieter slice of Makarska, just a 15-minute walk from the main town.

Donja luka

Donja luka's waterfront promenade buzzes with life as visitors stroll along the Adriatic Sea. Makarska Beach offers crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming, while palm-lined walkways create a Mediterranean paradise. The harbour fills with colourful fishing boats against the dramatic backdrop of Biokovo mountains, and beachfront cafés serve fresh seafood under the sun. This walkable district connects easily to Makarska's centre by local buses. Hotels and apartments with sea views dominate the accommodation scene, most featuring pools and spa facilities. Summer brings the area alive with beachside bars, water sports, and evening entertainment, making it an ideal spot for travellers seeking coastal charm with modern comforts.

Dugis

Dugis offers travellers a quiet escape with stunning Adriatic Sea views from its hillside perch above Makarska. Mediterranean stone houses with terracotta roofs create a peaceful residential atmosphere where you'll trade tourist crowds for authentic local charm. The pine-scented air and panoramic vistas make the steep walk back from town worth every step. Budget-friendly apartments and family guesthouses dominate the accommodation scene, many featuring sea-view balconies and welcoming hosts. While dining options are limited to a few traditional konobas, Makarska's restaurant district is just a 15-minute walk downhill. The neighborhood's lack of nightlife ensures peaceful evenings after active beach days.

Zelenka

Zelenka's pristine pebble beaches and crystal-clear Adriatic waters create the perfect coastal escape in Makarska. Pine-lined promenades invite leisurely strolls along the waterfront while the Mediterranean charm of white stone buildings creates a relaxed atmosphere. The area offers a quieter alternative to Makarska's bustling centre, with just enough local activity to keep things interesting. Seasonal beachfront tavernas serve fresh seafood and Dalmatian specialities on sun-drenched terraces. Family-run apartments and guesthouses provide comfortable accommodation with sea views. Getting around is easiest on foot along the pedestrian-friendly coastal paths, while Makarska's centre remains within walking distance for additional attractions.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Makarska

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Makarska is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices are typically lower. For those looking to explore the city's rich history, stunning scenery, and cultural landmarks, a stay of at least 4 to 5 days is recommended. This duration allows visitors to fully appreciate attractions such as historical monuments, the picturesque marina, and the breathtaking hiking trails in the nearby natural parks. Engaging in activities like rafting and kayaking on the river can also enhance your experience, making your trip both affordable and great value for money.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover accommodation deals for hotels in Makarska, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you're more likely to see updates on flash sales and special promotions, helping you secure the best prices. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you stay informed about any drops in rates or availability for luxury hotel deals in Makarska, so you can seize the opportunity for a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay at a hotel in Makarska. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and occasionally offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we will suggest more economical dates, which may help you secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels located near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but with Makarska's excellent public transport links, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often great value to be found.
