Split view


Brela Beach is so perfect, it's hard to believe you're still in Europe.  It's one of Croatia's best beaches with crystalline water lapping at coves that stretch for 6km. And the beaches are sandy! (the sand is more like gravel but it's easy on your feet)

Each cove of Brela Beach is like a private hideaway, fringed by pine trees and invisible to any road and all but a few hotels.

Even the town of Brela is a delight with its subtropical greenery and appealing mixture of old and new houses.

Small wonder that Brela is a top sight and that Forbes magazine rated Brela Beach as the 6th best beach in the world and the best beach in Europe! It's certainly the best beach in Croatia. (See Brela Beach on a map)

Getting to Brela Beach

Brela lies midway between Split and Makarska and is only about 15km from either town. It's an easy day trip from Split or Makarska as all buses between the towns stop at Brela.
