Aminess Khalani Beach Hotel

Aminess Khalani Beach Hotel is the only five-star hotel in Makarska, set on the waterfront with Biokovo rising directly behind it. The lobby sets the tone — a five-storey atrium lined with slatted wood panels and lit by cascading ring chandeliers. The rooms and suites follow the same warm, contemporary feel, with soft greys, natural wood, and balconies opening either to the sea or the mountain.

The top suites include private terraces with jacuzzis and wide views across the Makarska coastline. Below, the spa features a hammam, saunas, and a private jacuzzi room, while above, the rooftop restaurant and bar open onto a covered terrace facing the sea. The hotel was photographed over several visits and across multiple days, covering every level from the spa to the rooftop suites, restaurant, and bar.
