7 best hotels with a pool in Makarska

Hotels with a pool in Makarska are ideal for travellers who want a relaxed base between the Adriatic and the dramatic slopes of Biokovo. The town’s beachfront promenades and port area make it easy to pair swim-time with evening strolls and dining, with the Franciscan Monastery of the Blessed Virgin Mary sitting on the harbour side and anchoring the historic centre. For scenery and short excursions, Biokovo Nature Park rises directly behind the Riviera and is a popular hiking and viewpoints destination.

A genuinely “Hotels with a pool” stay goes beyond a token plunge: look for a proper outdoor swimming pool (often with sun terraces), loungers for recovery after the beach, and clear facilities for families or couples—plus a bar/snack option nearby if you want effortless downtime. This kind of setup suits holidaymakers who like an all-day rhythm: morning sea, afternoon pool-and-rest, and a compact night-time walk.

Where to stay is largely about lifestyle. For harbour-centre convenience and evening atmosphere, choose hotels close to the promenade near the old town core; for calmer days and more space, properties along the wider Makarska Riviera offer a slower tempo while staying within reach of the main sights. In our bookable range, options such as Hotel Ani (Adults Only) and Hotel Park suit adults seeking a smoother, quieter poolside experience, while Valamar Meteor Hotel and the villa-style stays like Villa Tonka and Villa Hills suit guests who value comfort, privacy, and easy access to sun and water.
