Makarska's beach hotels place you steps from the pebbly shore and the lively Riva Promenade. The Adriatic Sea dominates the experience-most properties offer balconies with water views, and some, like Hotel Park Makarska, sit directly on the beachfront with an outdoor pool and sun terrace. Budget-conscious travelers can expect rates starting around $80 per night at central options like Hotel Biokovo, while mid-range and upscale picks such as Aminess Laurel Khalani Hotel and Boutique Hotel Ani range from $120 to $250 per night depending on the season.
For the best location, stay in the central zone near Makarska Port or the western stretch by Biloševac Beach. Top-rated properties include Boutique Hotel Ani (guest score 98) with its spa, sauna, and adults-only atmosphere, and Valamar Meteor Hotel (score 91) offering 4 pools, tennis courts, and a beachfront restaurant. Aparthotel Miramare adds value with two swimming pools, a hot tub, and a 2-minute walk to the beach-ideal for families.
