Location
About the surrounding area of Villa KalmaSurrounded by vineyards and olive groves, the historic town of Omiš is situated on Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast. Around 25km from the country’s second city, Split, it’s a town famed for its stunning fortresses and pirate history. It can also boast gorgeous beaches and a second-to-none water-sports scene, thanks to its breathtaking setting on the River Cetina.
It’s these high-energy activities which draw many visitors to Omiš – and as a town largely dependent on tourism, it’ll put on a good show for you. Head down to the riverside to check out what’s on offer. You’ll see canyoning, boating, rafting, canoeing and the like, so you can choose the level of exhilaration you’re comfortable with. The mountains are popular with hikers, and activities like paragliding are available too. Perhaps one of the most unforgettable ways to see Omiš is by hurtling across the canyon on a zip wire – it’s an understatement to say the views are worth it!
Beach lovers will be happy too, with lots of choice around the area. In the centre of Omiš, the long, sandy Velika Plaza is ideal for families, while pebble beaches Brzet and Slavinj are just a short walk away. Head west towards Split, or east towards Makarska, and you have many more stunning beaches to discover, many Blue Flag rated. Boat trips out to the islands of Brač, Hvar and Šolta offer further options – these wonderful destinations shouldn’t be missed.
Back in Omiš, you may wish to tackle the steep climb to see the town’s fortresses. The 13th-century Mirabella fortress rewards you for the trek with views as far as Brač, and the outlook from 15th-century Starigrad is similarly impressive. Another popular vantage point is the site of the Mila Gojsalič statue. High up in the hills around 5km from the centre of town, you might not want to walk this one, but however you get there, it offers an amazing view over the canyon.
Omiš’ pirate history has inspired all sorts of visitor-friendly attractions and you won’t be able to go far without finding some reference to it. In summer, the weekly Pirate Night tours and Pirate Weekend recreate battles and tell stories of the days when the town’s fearsome pirates ruled the seas. Children are sure to love it all, but if it gets too much, there are plenty of Old Town spots you can escape to for a bit of peace and quiet. The area around St Michael’s Square is a good place to find cafés and restaurants.
The proximity of Omiš to so many other stunning destinations is another great reason to make it your base. Just 25km west, Split has world-class landmarks like Diocletian’s Palace and the Cathedral of St Domnius to see, while upscale Makarska is the jewel of Makarska Riviera – it’s a similar distance east of Omiš.

Region
The Dalmatian coast is a veritable treasure trove of stunning landscapes and historic towns, and Omis, situated halfway between the famous port city of Split and the energetic town of Maksarka, is no exception. With its rich history, scenic backdrop, and a plethora of attractions, Omis stands out as a unique and captivating destination for those seeking to explore the charm of Croatia. The town's history is deeply intertwined with its dramatic geographical setting, which is dominated by the imposing Cetina River Canyon and the Mosor Mountain Range.
The old town of Omis, with its narrow cobblestone streets and stone houses, is a place where history and culture converge. It’s a charming place to explore on foot and soak up the local way of life. There are a number of historic churches that you’ll come across while exploring - the Church of St. Michael, the Church of St. Peter, and the Church of St. Rocco, which all showcase intricate architectural details and a sense of reverence. The old town is also home to an abundance of restaurants, cafes, and local shops, it’s an excellent spot to savour authentic Croatian dishes and find unique souvenirs.
One of the most prominent historical attractions in the town is the Mirabella Fortress, often called Peovica. Perched high on a rocky outcrop, this fortress was built during the 13th century and was used as a hideout by the notorious Omis pirates who terrorised the Adriatic Sea. Today, visitors can climb up the steep path to the fortress and enjoy panoramic views of the town, the coast, and the surrounding landscapes.
Omis boasts a pristine stretch of coastline with a variety of beaches, each catering to different tastes. One of the most popular is the sandy beach at the mouth of the Cetina River, offering calm waters perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Adventurous spirits may prefer the pebbly beach of Brzet, known for its perfect conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing. Just a short drive from Omis, there's the small village of Stanici, which is renowned for its unspoiled beaches and crystal-clear waters. It's a serene place to relax and escape the crowds often found in more touristy locations.
The Cetina River is a defining feature of Omis, and one of the most exhilarating activities here is to take a rafting excursion along its emerald waters. The river cuts through the impressive Cetina Canyon, creating a thrilling white-water rafting experience that appeals to adventure seekers and nature lovers alike. The journey offers panoramic views of the rugged cliffs, lush forests, and the charming villages that dot the landscape.
The nearby Biokovo Nature Park is an outstanding natural attraction. The Biokovo Mountain Range, part of the Dinaric Alps, offers incredible hiking opportunities, with well-marked trails leading to panoramic viewpoints where you can marvel at the Adriatic Sea and the islands scattered along the coast. The juxtaposition of the rugged mountain terrain and the azure waters is simply stunning and will leave a lasting impression.
The history, natural beauty, and cultural vitality of Omis combine to create a destination that is rich in character and charm. Whether you're seeking adventure on the Cetina River, exploring the medieval fortresses, or simply savouring the local cuisine, Omis has something to offer every traveller who ventures to this utterly enchanting corner of the Dalmatian coast.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesChildren will love what’s on offer at family-friendly Villa Kalma. With its large lawn, swings and play area, this villa gets off to a great start. There is also the huge outdoor heated pool, a hot tub, a sauna and barbecue, as well as TV, Wi-Fi, a football table and games console – in fact, all kinds of fun you can enjoy together.
Nearby Omiš is something of a big playground in itself, and even the most adventurous kids aren’t going to be disappointed. The list is endless – hire a boat, go hiking, cycling, rafting or canoeing. Discover canyoning, paragliding or scuba diving. Go horse-riding, paintballing or zip-lining across the Cetina Canyon… With so much you can do, it’s worth planning ahead to get the most out of your Omiš experience. They’ll be exhausted, but in a good way.
The zip-lines are a particularly exciting means of seeing the canyon. At 150m above ground, this adventure isn’t for the faint hearted, but it promises to be something you will remember forever. Children of 7 years or above can take part. The agency which organises these excursions will take you there and back and provide guides, who may accompany some children during their descent.
Fancy something less full on? There are many lovely beaches within a short drive of Villa Kalma, including Velika Plaza in central Omiš. This is a good family choice where there are activities like volleyball, cafés and lots of facilities – and at 800m long, there’s plenty of space too.
Omiš is also good for eating out. The quality of restaurants is high, and you can find everything from pizza to seafood around the town. One spot particularly popular with kids is the Flintstones-themed restaurant, Kremenko. The theme may be quirky, but the food is excellent, so it’s a night out the whole family can enjoy, and worth the drive up into the mountains.
The town offers more entertainment in the form of regular festivals. There are opportunities to soak up local culture during the Festival of Dalmatian Klapas and Summer Festival, while beach parties, food and music events mean there is always something happening.
If you want to find loads of family attractions in one place, it’s well worth heading for Split, as this city really delivers the goods for kids. You will find an aquarium, a semi-submarine, Segway tours and a huge play zone at Poljud Stadium. Look out for Froggyland, Split’s unforgettable frog museum, and all the attractions of Znjan Beach, including bouncy castles and paddle boats. And if that wasn’t enough, big-hitting sights like Diocletian’s Palace are there to explore.

A lovley stay
We had a wonderful time at the villa. The host was very friendly and accommodating. The house itself was very tidy and the pool, jacuzzi and sauna were also very well maintained. The landscape around the house is ideal for walking or hiking. We would definitely recommend the accommodation.

Fantastic
The villa and location were perfect and the hosts were outstanding, the best we have found during our travels over many years. Gata is a village just minutes out of Omis and the view on the drive down is breathtaking. Denis and his family were so welcoming and the villa was very clean and had everything we needed. The pool and the spa were brilliant and so clean! Thanks for making our holiday!
