Overview

 
Nestled in a private seafront setting on Brac Island’s northern shore, Waterman Kaktus Resort brings together Croatia’s sparkling Adriatic scenery with a relaxed, all inclusive resort feel. Recently refurbished rooms for Summer 2025, an adults-only infinity pool, children’s splash pools and a solid line-up of sports and entertainment turn this Supetar base into an easy, fly-and-flop favourite for couples and families alike.

Think pine-framed bays, pale stone buildings and that glassy-blue Adriatic right on your doorstep. Waterman Kaktus Resort sprawls along the Supetar seafront with low-rise blocks, airy refurbished rooms and a choice of pools, from family-friendly splash zones to the sleek adults-only Lennox infinity pool. Add in a laid-back promenade, island-fresh food and easy access to Split by ferry, and you’ve got a polished but unpretentious Croatian escape. For couples and families wanting Croatia’s island charm with the simplicity of All Inclusive, Waterman Kaktus Resort ticks the boxes. It’s around 2–3 hours from Split Airport (SPU) including the scenic ferry crossing to Brac. See more Croatia holidays.

Map & location


Supetar, Brac Island (Supetar), Split and Dalmatian Coast, Croatia

Set in Supetar, the postcard-pretty capital of Brac Island, Waterman Kaktus Resort enjoys a gently tucked-away seafront setting. You’re steps from a classic Croatian pebble beach backed by pines, with clear, calm water ideal for swimming. Wander 500m along the promenade and you’re in the resort centre with cafés, konobas, galleries and that iconic church-topped skyline.

Supetar is also the island’s main ferry port, so hopping across to Split for a day of old-town exploring is remarkably simple – a great add-on if you like to mix beach time with culture.

  • Pebble beach next to the resort
  • Supetar resort centre 500m
  • Supetar ferry port to Split 10–15 minutes’ walk
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 2–3 hours including ferry crossing from Split to Brac (Supetar)

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Waterman Kaktus Resort is very much a “pool day every day” kind of place, with plenty of choice for every pace:

• Adults-only Lennox infinity pool – Heated outdoor freshwater pool (approx. 09 Apr–04 Jun and 10 Sep–28 Oct; dates can vary) with a retractable roof so it can become an open‑air pool in summer. Set beside the beach with sunbeds, parasols and a chic adults‑only vibe (16+; access subject to an extra local charge unless included with Privilege rooms).
• Main outdoor pool – Spacious freshwater pool with sunbathing terraces, loungers and parasols.
• Children’s splash pool with slides – Shallow freshwater pool featuring small slides and play features, surrounded by a sunbathing area with loungers and parasols for parents.
• Second children’s pool – Another shallow pool for little ones, also set with sunbeds and shade around.
• Indoor heated pool – Freshwater, heated during shoulder seasons (typically 09 Apr–14 Jun and 16 Sep–28 Oct), ideal if you’re travelling in cooler months or on rare overcast days.

Pool towels are available for a deposit or small local charge.

Right in front of the resort you’ll find a classic Croatian pebble beach with beautifully clear water – great for snorkelling, paddling or simply sunbathing on a lounger while you take in those Adriatic views.
