Adults-only hotels on the Makarska Riviera: two stays for couples

An adults-only hotel on the Makarska Riviera is a good fit if you’re looking for a stay for guests aged 18 and over, with a pool and sea views. The two hotels featured here are in Živogošće and Igrane, and both offer an all-inclusive concept.

For a pool and spa, TUI BLUE Adriatic Beach offers the right combination; TUI BLUE Makarska focuses on its pool and restaurant. Both are four-star hotels with a minimum age of 18. You’ll find more adults-only hotels on the Makarska Riviera and adults-only hotels in Croatia in our overviews.

Why choose the Makarska Riviera for a child-free couples’ break?

The coast and the Biokovo Mountains define the region. At the Biokovo Skywalk, you can look across the coast and islands from a glass platform on the mountainside. In Makarska, the harbour, promenade and narrow lanes lead through the centre; stop by the water for a coffee break.

Živogošće also has a historic landmark: the Franciscan monastery tells the story of this coastal town. If you’d rather head out to sea, you can take a boat trip to Brač or Hvar from the Makarska Riviera. For a swim, the Nugal cove, surrounded by rocks and pine trees, is a lovely place to stop.

Our tip for adults: Sveti Petar peninsula

Paths on the wooded peninsula near Makarska lead down to the sea and quiet spots overlooking the bay. Towards evening, the water changes colour as the Biokovo Mountains rise behind you.

Getting there and practical tips

For flights, you can choose Split Airport (Kaštela) (SPU) or Dubrovnik Airport (Čilipi) (DBV). Croatian motorways are toll roads; expect queues at toll booths in summer.

The hotels are in Zivogosce and Igrane.
