By day, you can wander to the main square, grab a coffee in the historic streets or hop on a ferry to Brač and Hvar. By night, Makarska’s open-air restaurants, cocktail bars and the unique cave club Deep next door turn the seafront into a lively, grown-up playground – all easily walkable from your hotel.
