Dalmacija PLACESHOTEL by Valamar

The Dalmacija PLACESHOTEL by Valamar has secured a picture-perfect spot – it's nestled between picturesque mountains and the clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. This dynamic lifestyle hotel is the place to be for chilling and having fun under the Mediterranean sun. Plus, it's less than a 20-minute stroll away from the centre of historic Makarska.

Soak up some sunshine by the pool and beach, both of which come paired with local DJs playing cool music while you lounge around and sip on innovative cocktails from the [PLACESPOOLBAR]. For endless fun, there’s a seamlessly curated programme of sports and activities – whether it’s getting your heart rate pumping with aqua aerobics or a game of basketball, there’s fun to be had in all shapes and forms. Alternatively, you can turn the relaxation up a notch with a treatment at the [PLACESSPA], where you can enjoy relaxing massages fragranced by scents and aromas inspired by the local area. 

The food and drinks here are really worth writing home about. At the [PLACESRESTAURANT], savour the flavours of the Mediterranean at any time of the day – just let your hunger pangs lead you. And don’t forget to grab a cocktail at the [PLACESBAR], where mixologists whip up your favourite drinks using fresh fruit and handpicked island herbs. You can order top-quality coffee here, too. The [PLACESFLEXI] half board basis here is pretty special – you get your breakfast included and then either lunch or dinner. And if you don’t make it to lunch or dinner, you'll get €25 of credit to use in the restaurant or in the bars whenever it suits you!

Here, everything is designed with a new generation of travellers in mind. Numerous digital services include contactless check-in, and a bracelet that allows you to pay for extras at the bars and restaurant. The rooms here are pretty chic, too – think traditional Mediterranean meets modern interiors – and each one comes with a top-quality mattress to ensure you get a great night's sleep, as well as superfast WiFi and a smart TV.

If you fancy exploring Dalmatia during your stay, you'll be in good hands. The staff here – known as the [PLACESPEOPLE] – know the area better than Google does, so you can get to know your destination in a unique way, guided by brilliant insider tips. What are you waiting for?
