4- and 5-star hotels in Tucepi
A shortlist of the 4- and 5-star hotels in Tucepi, on Croatia's Makarska Riviera.
Staying in Tucepi
Tucepi is a small coastal town at the foot of Biokovo mountain, known for a long pebble beach lined with pine trees and for a history that reaches back to Roman times, when a villa rustica stood nearby. The old part, Gornje Selo, sits on the hill above the coast with narrow streets and traditional stone houses, while the harbour — once a fishing port — now holds small boats and yachts. In the evenings the promenade, lined with cafes and restaurants, becomes the focal point of the town.
The hotels on this shortlist cluster in two spots. The largest group sits along the waterfront and the stretch of coast around Dracevice and Slatina, where the beach and promenade are on the doorstep: Bluesun Hotel Jadran, Tamaris, Aparthotel Flora, Heritage Hotel Kaštelet, Bluesun Holiday Village Afrodita, Bluesun Hotel Alga and Villa Yanko. A second group lies slightly inland or uphill — Hotel Laurentum, Villa Marija, Villa Grgo Apartments, Villa Mila, Villa Andrea and Holiday home Tanja with pool — a little removed from the seafront but still within walking distance of the centre. It suits couples on a short break, families who want pools and shallow water, and guests who prefer a quieter base above the bay.
