4- and 5-star hotels in Marina

Marina is a small coastal settlement whose waterfront is lined with stone houses, restaurants and cafés, with clear water, small coves and pine-covered slopes around it. The bay gives boats an anchorage, olive groves, vineyards and family farms sit inland, and Drvenik Veli and Drvenik Mali are close enough for a day on the water. Split is about 30 kilometers to the east, Trogir roughly 10 kilometers to the west.

The hotels on this list are spread along the coast either side of the harbour. Beachfront Villa Seashell with Pool sits 1.8 kilometers from the centre, with Villas Lucy and a penthouse also close in, while the apartments on Marinska Cesta are 1.3 kilometers out. Sky Beach Aparthotel, the only 4-star and the only property here with a guest rating of 4.9 from 257 reviews, is 2.6 kilometers away. Others, including the Sevid and Kanica villas, are 6.9 to 7.8 kilometers out and quieter. Couples and groups of friends suit the pool villas; families the apartments and family rooms; independent travellers the remoter houses.

Getting there and around

Marina is accessible by road via the D8 Adriatic highway, which connects it to Trogir (about 10 km west) and Split (about 30 km east). Split Airport is approximately 20 km away. Local bus services run along the coast, linking Marina with nearby towns. For travel to Dubrovnik, one can take a bus or drive along the D8; the distance is over 200 km. Within Marina, most areas are walkable, but a car or bicycle can be useful for exploring the surrounding coves and villages.

When to go

The best time to visit Marina is from May to September, when the sea is warm enough for swimming and the weather is consistently sunny. July and August are the busiest months, with many events and open restaurants. June and September offer milder temperatures and fewer crowds, while still allowing for beach activities and boat trips to the nearby islands.
