Villa Riva

Converted from a private family residence on Prvosvibanjska, Villa Riva keeps its terraced garden layout a ten-minute walk from Makarska's harbor promenade and Riva beach, with the pebble shoreline below the old town reachable on foot rather than by shuttle.

Rooms stay soundproofed against the coastal road, each with its own single-zone AC and a private bathroom stocked beyond the standard toiletry set. The bar opens onto the garden terrace, and bicycle rental suits guests riding out toward Biokovo's lower trailheads.

A practical, quieter base for travelers pairing beach days with hiking or diving excursions along the Makarska Riviera.
