Map & location
Brela, Split and Dalmatian Coast, Croatia
Bluesun Hotel Soline sits in the relaxed seaside town of Brela, renowned for its string of Blue Flag pebble beaches, pine forests and crystal-clear water along the Makarska Riviera. The hotel is right on the beachfront promenade, so you can wander past cafés and ice cream stands, stroll to the iconic Kamen Brela rock, or simply find your favourite sunspot under the pines. Inland, the dramatic Biokovo mountain range forms a rugged backdrop and offers hiking and viewpoint excursions, while day trips to Split, Makarska or nearby islands are easy to arrange.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s contemporary pool deck is one of its centrepieces. There are:
• 2 outdoor freshwater pools, including a separate children’s pool, framed by sunbeds and parasols (typically open 01 Apr–01 Nov)
• A bright indoor freshwater pool, great for early and late season dips
Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit, so you can pack a little lighter.
Just below the hotel you’ll find Brela’s famous pebble beaches, backed by pines and lapped by calm, turquoise water. Parasols and loungers are usually available to hire along the promenade, and the gently shelving shoreline is ideal for paddling and swimming. As with most of Croatia, expect pebbles rather than sand – beach shoes can be handy.
