4- and 5-star hotels in Brela
This shortlist covers the 4- and 5-star hotels and villas in Brela, on Croatia's Makarska Riviera. It is for travellers who want a pebble-beach summer base and a choice between full-service hotels and self-catering homes.
Staying in Brela
Brela sits on the Adriatic coast in southern Croatia, a compact town on the Makarska Riviera known for pebble beaches, above all Punta Rata with its rock formation in the sea, and for clear water. The town runs from the coast up a hillside: Donja Brela is the lower part along the coast and waterfront promenade, where most hotels and apartments are, while Gornja Brela is the upper hillside above the coastal road, quieter and with sea views. The hotels on this list cluster around Donja Brela and the Punta Rata area, with several addresses on Frankopanska and Trg Gospe Od Karmela close to the shore.
This suits couples and families who want to walk to the beach and the promenade, and travellers on a short summer break who prefer to leave the car parked. Brela is also a practical base for the wider riviera, with Makarska and Baška Voda within easy reach. With 4- and 5-star hotels as well as villas and apartments, the list works both for guests who want restaurants, pools and spas on site and for those who would rather cook for themselves.
