Probably one the most stunning stretches of coastline along the Adriatic Sea, this Riviera is characterised by long white pebble beaches, and lush pine and olive woods that lie between the azure blue sea and the dramatic Mount Biokovo
(1,762m) mountain range, that rises behind the coastal strip.
The Makarska Riviera is an ecologically preserved area of particular natural beauty, rich in local culture and tradition. It lies conveniently between the two great cultural cities of Dubrovnik and Split, while the shore
is protected by the islands of Brac and Hvar. Long hours of uninterrupted sunshine, warm, crystal clear water and a gently sloping shoreline make it an ideal destination for families and couples.
