Igrane on the Makarska Riviera: Why Travellers Choose TUI BLUE Makarska as Their Base?
One of Croatia’s most popular travel platforms, Putoholičari, visited Igrane and wrote exactly what guests of TUI BLUE Makarska have long known: this is not just a hotel, it is a starting point for a genuine exploration of Dalmatia.
The article describes Igrane as a quiet Dalmatian village that has not lost its soul, surrounded by olive groves, the scent of pine and rosemary, with Biokovo rising in the background and the Adriatic at your feet. And that, they write, is precisely why TUI BLUE Makarska is designed differently. The goal is not to keep guests within the complex, but to ensure that every morning they wake up refreshed and set off towards the next adventure.
Igrane as a Base for the Makarska Riviera
Within an hour’s drive from Igrane, some of the most beautiful destinations on the Adriatic await. The old town of Makarska, Bačinska Lakes, Biokovo Skywalk, the island of Hvar by ferry from Drvenik, Brač and Zlatni Rat beach, Split with Diocletian’s Palace, Imotski with its Red and Blue Lakes. As Putoholičari put it, the plan is simple: a new place every day.
That freedom, combined with a hotel that takes care of breakfast with sea views and evening sunsets on the terrace, makes TUI BLUE Makarska in Igrane the perfect base for exploring the Makarska Riviera.
When to Visit Igrane?
Putoholičari are clear: there is no bad time to visit, only different versions of perfect. May and June bring Dalmatia’s awakening, long days and soft light without the crowds. July and August are livelier along the Riviera, but Igrane remains different from Makarska town or Hvar even then. September and October are Dalmatia as locals love it most: warm sea, golden light and beaches that are almost entirely yours.
For guests seeking an adults-only hotel on the Makarska Riviera outside peak season, Igrane offers something particularly special. Quiet that you can actually hear, and a slowness that you can truly feel.
