Located in this region of Croatia is the beautiful coastal town of Makarska, which is certainly recommended as a holiday destination! Resort towns Brela and Baska Voda (the former a smaller resort, the latter larger and busier) are also lovely. Omis is the first town you come to as you travel from Split down the coast; Tucepi and Podgora are two small but lovely resorts. (The first is famous for a long stretch of beaches.) As it’s a popular part of the Croatian coast for a holiday destination, there’s a very good selection of accommodation in Central Dalmatia.

Accommodation in Central Dalmatia
You can reach this part of the country by flying to Split (see our Getting to Split section for details of flights from all over Europe), which is just north of the Riviera. There are also good bus connections from elsewhere in Croatia.
N.B. Although they are also in Central Dalmatia, we have separate accommodation sections for Split, and the islands of Brac, Hvar and Vis.
Accommodation in Central Dalmatia Highlights
Five Star Hotels
The Heritage Hotel Martinis Marchi in Maslinica on the island of Solta is a wonderful luxury option. Stay in a 300-year-old castle (really!), right on the sea, with its own pool and other excellent facilities. Solta is one of the smaller islands in the region, so also a good choice if you’re looking for somewhere a bit quieter.
The Bluesun Hotel Berulia in Brela has two pools and multiple other amenities, as well as its own beach and absolutely stunning views out to sea.
With no less than three pools and three restaurants, and also located on the beach, TUI Blue Jadran is a fine choice for Tucepi
Four Star Hotels
For those looking for boutique options, the Hotel Croatia in Baska Voda would be an excellent choice. Another fine option in the same town is the smart and modern Grand Hotel Slavia; it has a pool and is minutes from a beach.
The Hotel Biokovo is a lovely pick for Makarska, located in the heart of that town and within walking distance of a beach. The Boutique Hotel Ani is an excellent modern option, with its own smart pool and pretty sun terrace.
