Hotel Maritimo
A pine-shaded promenade between the lobby and the sea
About this hotel
Hotel Maritimo sits close to the centre of Makarska at a pebbly beach, close to the sports marina, with magnificent views of the Brač and Hvar islands from its terrace. Only a promenade shaded by pine trees stands between the sea and the hotel, and the family-run operation provides comfortable, fashionably appointed accommodation without a large resort's scale. The restaurant offers a daily menu or à la carte dishes drawing on local and international cuisine, and the cocktail bar sits on an open-air terrace next to the promenade, overlooking the crystal-clear sea in a genuinely Mediterranean atmosphere. The property is both pet-friendly and adults-only, and rooms carry air-conditioning and a private bathroom as standard.

Our take
Hotel Maritimo is a family-run hotel close to the centre of Makarska, on a pebbly beach by the sports marina, with only a pine-shaded promenade between it and the sea and views of Brač and Hvar. The restaurant serves local and international cuisine, and the cocktail bar sits on an open-air terrace beside the promenade. A 9.2 score from 735 reviews backs it. I would book it for sea views and evening drinks without leaving the waterfront.
- ✓Book a terrace-facing room for the channel view toward Brač and Hvar, it's the property's strongest feature.
- ✓Try the à la carte menu over the daily set option at least once, it shows off the kitchen better.
- ✓Walk the pine-shaded promenade toward the marina in the early evening, the light and the boats both suit that hour best.

Why guests love itThe pine-shaded promenade right outside became our favourite part of the stay, an easy walk toward the marina most evenings with the islands lit up across the channel. The family-run restaurant felt personal in a way the bigger resort hotels down the beach didn't, and having the dog welcome alongside the adults-only quiet was exactly the combination we'd struggled to find elsewhere on this coast.
