Overview

Bluesun Hotel Jadran is a classic five-star hotel on the Makarska Riviera. Constructed in 1950 and influenced by Bauhaus design, the hotel remains an architectural feature of the coastline and has a history as a focal point of local entertainment. The property offers three outdoor pools, including an infinity pool and swim-up pool suites, a dedicated wellness area with sauna and spa treatments, and services such as 24-hour room service, laundry and EV charging. Its position between the Adriatic and Biokovo Mountain makes it suitable for guests who want both seaside leisure and access to regional outdoor activities.

Location

Situated in the coastal village of Tučepi, the hotel is directly on a shingle beach and sits at the beginning of pine forest trails that head towards Makarska and other coastal landmarks. Local bars, cafés and shops are within a brief walk, and the famous Makarska Riva promenade is close by, while Brela stone and other well-known coastal sites are reachable by a short drive. Split Airport is approximately one hour and thirty minutes away by car. The location is well placed for day trips to Biokovo Nature Park and nearby historic towns.
