Aminess Laurel Khalani Hotel
Direct beachfront access with indoor and outdoor pools
About this hotel
Aminess Laurel Khalani Hotel offers direct beachfront access with sea views from the sun terrace and the outdoor swimming pool. The spa and wellness centre runs indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna and fitness centre, alongside a hot tub, steam room and beauty services for a genuine treatment menu rather than a single sauna room. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms and balconies, and family rooms alongside a kids' pool cater specifically to families travelling with children. The modern restaurant serves international, European and Croatian cuisines with gluten-free options, breakfast runs as a buffet, and the bar offers a range of beverages for evenings on site without needing to head into town.
- Families with children
- Wellness-focused stays
- Direct beach access seekers
Our take
The direct beachfront access paired with a genuinely full wellness centre, indoor and outdoor pools plus a steam room and beauty services, makes this one of the more complete options in Makarska for families who also want a proper spa on hand. Couples wanting a quiet, adults-only atmosphere should look elsewhere, since the kids' pool and family-room focus point clearly toward a family-friendly operation rather than a romantic getaway.
- ✓Book a family room with the kids' pool included if travelling with young children, it's a genuine step up from a standard room.
- ✓Use the indoor pool as backup on windy days, the wellness centre stays open regardless of sea conditions.
- ✓Try the steam room in addition to the sauna, it's a less common addition among Makarska's spa hotels.

Why guests love itThe kids' pool and the beach being right outside meant our children barely noticed the days pass, while the spa's steam room became our own quiet escape most afternoons once they were settled with the hotel's activity staff. The indoor pool covered one genuinely windy day that would have otherwise cancelled swimming entirely, which mattered more than we expected going into the trip.
