The new hotel is being completely refurbished and adjusted to the Tui Blue concept. It is located in a bay on Makarska Riviera on the Dalmatian coast, with the nearest town, Makarska, about 3km away and Split about 65 km.

The four-star hotel is situated directly on a beach and will have 161 rooms with 11 exclusive swim-up suites. The resort will also have four bars and three Bluefit programmes – a combination of fitness, food and wellness. Bookings will open on September 29.

The first two Tui Blue properties opened in Turkey in May this year. They will be followed by others in the group’s portfolio of owned hotels, including Tenerife and Austria (November 2016), Germany (December 2016) and Italy (spring 2017). The properties are for exclusive use by Tui customers.

Thomas Pietzka, head of Tui Hotels & Resorts said: “The hotel business is a key element of Tui’s growth strategy. By opening this additional new hotel, we have shown that we are consistently implementing our goals and continue to expand our unique offering for our guests.”
