Facilities

Pool & outdoors


There is no on-site swimming pool at Aparthotel Central Beach 9 – the focus here is firmly on the natural Adriatic playground right outside. You step out directly onto Makarska’s long, pebbly-sand beach, backed by pine trees and the bustling promenade.

The gently shelving shoreline and generally calm waters make it a good option for families and less confident swimmers, while water sports, pedalos and boat rental are usually available along the bay in high season (run by independent operators, local charges apply).

Spa, sports & wellness

• Compact reception area with concierge-style assistance and local tips
• Equipment hire from reception: fan, kettle and toaster (subject to availability; local charges may apply)
• On-site mini-market for snacks, drinks and everyday essentials – ideal for stocking the fridge in your apartment
• Easy access to Makarska’s waterfront jogging routes, hiking in Biokovo Nature Park and boat excursions to Brač and Hvar from the nearby harbour

Evening entertainment is more about stepping out into Makarska itself: from the famous cave club Deep Makarska to relaxed cocktail bars and family-friendly restaurants along the promenade.

Activities

Expect fresh pastries, cooked-to-order favourites and barista-style coffee in the morning, with Mediterranean flavours and seafood later in the day.
