Map & location


Makarska, Split and Dalmatian Coast, Croatia

Valamar Meteor Hotel occupies a prime spot on Makarska’s attractive seafront promenade, steps from a long, crescent-shaped pebble beach shaded by tall pines. From here it’s a gentle stroll into the historic centre, where café terraces dot the squares and the Church of St. Mark watches over the main piazza.

The towering Biokovo Mountain rises just behind town, making it easy to pair lazy beach days with walks and panoramic drives. Makarska’s harbour offers regular boat trips to Brač and Hvar, so island-hopping is as easy as walking down to the quay.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Families are spoiled for choice at Valamar Meteor Hotel’s water zones. Outside you’ll find:

• Main outdoor freshwater pool with sunbathing terraces, loungers and parasols (typically open May–September)
• Heated children’s pool with slides, buckets, sprinklers and water guns, plus baby‑changing facilities – great for little ones gaining water confidence
• Splash park featuring a tipping water bucket, spray features and water cannons (usually open May–September, set hours apply)

Inside, a heated indoor freshwater pool means swimming isn’t just for summer, and it’s ideal for cooler days or shoulder-season stays. Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit.

Step beyond the pool terrace and you’re on Makarska’s long pebble beach – bring water shoes for extra comfort underfoot, then dive into crystal‑clear Adriatic waters with mountain views behind you.
