Perched between the Adriatic and the dramatic Cetina River gorge, Hotel Plaza Duce pairs widescreen sea views with ultra-modern design. Expect glass-fronted balconies, a sleek rooftop pool and a light-filled spa – all just steps from a golden-sand beach and a short hop from the characterful pirate town of Omis.

Floor-to-ceiling glass, an elevated pool deck and an endless blue horizon: the design at Hotel Plaza Duce is all about framing that knockout Adriatic view. Inside, clean lines and neutral tones keep the focus firmly on the seascape, while the rooftop terrace, spa and beach bar give you multiple ways to soak up Croatia’s sun-slowed lifestyle. For couples and families keen to blend Croatia’s rugged coastal scenery with easy beach time, Hotel Plaza Duce is a stylish base on the Split and Dalmatian Coast. It’s around 1 hour 30 minutes from Split Airport. See more Croatia holidays.

Map & location


Omis, Split and Dalmatian Coast, Croatia

Hotel Plaza Duce sits in the small coastal village of Duce, just outside the atmospheric town of Omis. Backed by rugged cliffs and facing a broad sweep of sand and the Adriatic, it feels tucked away yet convenient for exploring.

Wander 500m to local bars, shops and restaurants, or follow the coast 3km to Omis, where terracotta roofs, medieval streets and pirate legends meet river-rafting adventures on the Cetina. Split’s UNESCO-listed Diocletian’s Palace is an easy day trip by road or boat, so you can pair city culture with laid-back beach time.

  • • Beach 50m
  • • Nearest bars, shops and restaurants 500m
  • • Omis resort centre 3km
  • • Split city centre 20km
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 30 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The outdoor pool is the hotel’s social heart, set above the road so you still catch those big sky-and-sea views. There’s a dedicated children’s section so families can splash together, plus a whirlpool area and plenty of sunbeds.

When the weather’s cooler – or you just fancy a more tranquil swim – head indoors. The heated indoor pool, also with a children’s section, sits beside the spa and is usually open from late March to the end of October. Pool towels are complimentary, which lightens the packing list.

Across the road, the sandy beach rolls along the bay, with sunbeds, a beach bar and playful water swings in the shallows. The sand and gentle entry make it particularly good for younger swimmers, while the mountain backdrop makes every dip camera-worthy.

Spa, sports & wellness


In keeping with the hotel’s contemporary feel, the spa is sleek and soothing, featuring:

• Sauna, steam room and Turkish bath
• Whirlpool
• Heated indoor pool with children’s section (typically April–October)
• Massages and beauty treatments (charges apply; minimum age 12 years)

If you like to balance spa time with a workout, the air-conditioned gym is equipped with cardio machines, a free weights area and fixed strength equipment, ideal for a quick session before breakfast or sunset.

Other handy touches include a staffed reception offering concierge services, currency exchange (local charge) and luggage storage – useful if you’re arriving early or leaving late. Day trips along the coast or up the Cetina River can easily be arranged locally.

Activities


While Hotel Plaza Duce is designed more for relaxed, easy-going days than high-octane animation, you’re perfectly placed for both downtime and adventure:

• Outdoor and indoor pools with children’s sections for family-friendly swims
• Beach on your doorstep for sea swims, paddling and sunset strolls
• Air-conditioned gym for cardio and strength workouts
• Spa circuit with sauna, steam room and Turkish bath (charges may apply)
• Easy access to Omis activities such as rafting on the Cetina River, canyoning and zip lines (bookable locally)

Guest services

• Concierge-style assistance for taxis, excursions and local recommendations
• Currency exchange (local charge)
• Luggage storage for early arrivals/late departures
• Complimentary pool towels
• Highchairs available in restaurants

Food & drink

Start the day in Plaža, the main buffet restaurant, with a generous spread of international favourites and Croatian specialities, plus live show cooking at breakfast and dinner. In the evenings, expect grilled fish, Dalmatian classics and crowd-pleasing comfort dishes – ideal if you’ve worked up an appetite exploring Omis.

At lunchtime, many Full Board guests head for the Sunset à la carte restaurant or the pool bar for a three-course set menu, while the beach bar keeps you topped up with drinks and light bites between dips.

Bars & venues
• Sunset à la carte restaurant – international and local cuisine for lunch and dinner; sea views, highchairs available, typically open mid-April to early November (subject to occupancy).
• Plaža buffet restaurant – international buffet for breakfast and dinner with show cooking, usually open mid-April to early November.
• Beach Bar Plaža – right on the sand, open roughly 10:00–18:00 from late April to early November (seasonal/occupancy dependent).
• Rooftop pool bar – cocktails and chilled drinks with a view, usually 09:00–23:00 during the main season.
