Hiking

Brela may be famed for its pristine beaches like Punta Rata, but it also sits at the foot of mighty Biokovo – Croatia’s highest coastal mountain. Biokovo Nature Park offers exhilarating hikes just inland from the shore. A historic trail (the old Napoleon’s Road) begins in the village of Kričak above Brela, winding through pine forests and past limestone crags. As you ascend, the woods give way to ridgeline panoramas revealing Brela below and the islands of Brač and Hvar across the sea. It’s a perfect active outing for guests who want to combine nature, views, and light adventure.

In Tučepi, you can choose between mountain and seaside hikes. Trails up Biokovo lead to rugged peaks and lookout points over the Makarska Riviera. For a gentler option, the Osejava Forest Park trail connects Tučepi with nearby Makarska along a scenic wooded peninsula. Shaded paths, rocky viewpoints, and hidden coves make this area ideal for relaxed yet rewarding walks.

Bol on Brač Island is a paradise for hikers seeking panoramic views. The highlight is the trail up Vidova Gora, the highest peak on the Adriatic islands. The climb rewards hikers with sweeping views of the famous Zlatni Rat beach and the surrounding archipelago. Several additional island trails offer a quieter way to explore Brač’s interior.

In Starigrad-Paklenica, guests are at the entrance to Paklenica National Park, one of Croatia’s most impressive hiking destinations. Deep canyons, dramatic cliffs, and forested paths define this area. With trails suited to beginners and experienced hikers alike, Paklenica offers an unforgettable outdoor experience just minutes from the coast.
