Outdoor activities in Split

Embrace the Active Lifestyle while on Vacation in Split

Even though vacation is often associated with taking time off from routine and daily activities, staying active during your trip can make your vacation even better. This might seem a bit hard at first, but there are many ways to incorporate your fitness routine while in hotels, on beaches, or even during a sightseeing tour. The new scenery of a beautiful destination can often be an excellent motivator for going out and enjoying the surroundings through exercises and sports. To keep up a regular fitness routine while on vacation, schedule a time for physical activity each day. A morning exercise can be a perfect way to start your day. It will provide you with extra energy and help combat jet lag syndrome. If you are visiting Split, there are plenty of opportunities to embrace an active lifestyle while on vacation as the city offers many possibilities for an outdoor fitness routine. With the combination of Marvie fitness and wellness facilities, you will return home as a completely new person.

In this guide, we’ll explore the best outdoor fitness activities in Split, while also highlighting the fantastic facilities at Marvie Hotel, for those days when you prefer an indoor workout. If you are visiting Split for a shorter period, there are many trails, parks, and cycling routes where you can train. These are the most popular:

1. Marjan Hill

This is the ultimate outdoor gym. This green oasis on the peninsula near the city center is a haven for fitness enthusiasts. Jog or cycle along the scenic paths, and you’ll come across numerous workout spots equipped with pull-up bars, parallel bars, and more. The changeable terrains of the jogging routes are suitable for all fitness levels. A combination of cardio and strength exercises is a perfect way to train the entire body. Whether you prefer a light jog or a challenging trail run, this park forest has it all. Enjoy the light sea breeze, immerse yourself in nature, and embrace the muscle pain.  

Marvie Tip: Once you are done with the exercise, relax your muscles in the Renevie spa zone at Marvie Hotel 

2. Sustipan Park

Sustipan Park, a peaceful green space overlooking the sea offers a tranquil setting for outdoor exercise. This hidden gem combines walking trails and open spaces for yoga or bodyweight exercises. Escape the bustling city and enjoy a serene workout with panoramic views of the Adriatic.

Marvie Tip: Warm up at the Marvie Hotel & Health gym and head to Sustipan for a refreshing outdoor workout.

3. Beaches: Žnjan, Bačvice, Bene

Žnjan Beach, a popular beach area in Split, located just a few minutes away from Marvie Hotel, has a trail that is perfect for light jogging. If visiting Split during the summertime, then swimming can be the perfect cardio exercise. You can also play beach volleyball, rent a paddleboard and pedal boat, or do your own beachside yoga session.  

The most famous beach, Bačvice, also located near Marvie Hotel, is popular for the ‘’picigin’’ game. This game is a favorite among the people of Split, and due to its popularity, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia has included it on the list of intangible cultural heritage. The game involves elements of volleyball, tennis, and acrobatics. Although there are no exact rules regarding the number of participants, the best ’’picigin’’ is played with five players using a smaller ball, and the goal is to keep the ball in the air for as long as possible without it falling into the sea. Besides providing plenty of entertainment, this is also an excellent way to stay in shape. 

Bene Beach, located at the northern foothills of Marjan Hill, offers a quiet escape for those seeking outdoor activities surrounded by nature. The pine tree forest provides shade for a relaxing yoga or meditation session. Take advantage of the walking and jogging paths around the beach, or rent a kayak for an upper-body workout with breathtaking views. On-site, there are sports and recreational facilities including tennis courts and a football field, as well as slides, seesaws, and swings for children. A new outdoor exercise area also provides additional opportunities for physical activity and fitness. 

Marvie Tip: If the outdoor workout area lacks all the equipment necessary for a good training session, do it at Marvie Gym, which is equipped with the latest modern equipment that will satisfy even the most demanding fitness enthusiasts.

4. Sport-recreational centers

Split offers a variety of sport-recreational centers where locals and visitors can engage in various activities. These centers are excellent options to maintain an active lifestyle while enjoying your time in the city. Firule Sports Center is a multipurpose complex with tennis courts, a football field, and a beach volleyball area. The center often hosts sports competitions and events. Sports center Park Mladeži is located in the urban area of Brodarica. In addition to the stadium used by RNK Split and the Athletics Club Split, smaller fields with artificial turf and athletic arenas can also be found there. 

Shooting Sports Center “Stobreč” is located in the eastern part of the city, within the administrative area of Stobreč. It consists of a covered shooting range for air weapons, an open shooting range for small arms, an open shooting range of 25 m for large and small caliber pistols, and a social center within club premises. Within the center, there is also an asphalted field for small football and a hall for martial arts.  

Marvie Tip: Finish your day by relaxing by Marvie’s poolside, sipping on a refreshing beverage from the hotel’s bar

If you are staying in Split for a longer period, you can join a sports club or school. For example, running schools or Nordic walking schools are perfect for people of all ages who wish to exercise outside in small groups. The school program runs throughout the year, and participants are grouped into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. The Aqua Med Medical Wellness clinic, operating within the premises of the Marvie Hotel, offers Nordic walking sessions twice a week. Nordic walking mimics the movements of cross-country skiing using specially designed walking poles. This way, both the lower and upper parts of the body are engaged during the activity. 

Another sports club for nature enthusiasts could be a mountaineering school, which is organized in several locations in and around Split. By enrolling in the school, you are provided with an excellent opportunity to learn more about mountains and other topics related to safe mountaineering. In addition to weekly lectures, the schools also arrange weekly excursions to nearby mountains. 

In Split, outdoor fitness options are as diverse as the city’s rich history. Whether you choose to explore the natural wonders of Marjan Hill, the sandy shores of Žnjan Beach, the scenic trails of Park Forest Marjan, or the tranquil ambiance of Sustipan Park, the options are endless. When you’re ready for a change of pace, Marvie Hotel & Health welcomes you with state-of-the-art facilities, a modern gym, and a luxurious pool to complement your outdoor adventures. If you are not a hotel guest, daily and monthly memberships are available to access the Renevie wellness zone, and prices and options can be found at this link Daily and monthly memberships include free parking and the use of pool and gym towels. 

 

At Marvie Hotel, you can have the best of both worlds. Relax, stay fit, stay active, and make the most of your stay in Split!
