About Drvenik

Drvenik is a charming coastal village on the Makarska Riviera, nestled between the dramatic cliffs of Mount Biokovo and the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea. Located approximately 30 km south of Makarska, Drvenik offers an authentic Dalmatian experience away from the busy tourist crowds.

The village is divided into two parts — Donja Vala and Gornja Vala — each with beautiful pebble beaches shaded by Mediterranean pine trees. Drvenik is also an important transport hub as it hosts the car ferry terminal connecting the mainland to Hvar island.
