Location

Lokva Rogoznica is the most beautiful part of Omiš Riviera, 7 km away from Omiš, 25 km from Makarska and 30 km from Split. The rich history of Lokva Rogoznica dates back to 1230 when seven noble families moved to the area which they received as a reward from King of Hungary Bela IV. After the Adriatic Highway was built in 1966, the residents of Lokva Rogorznica started to descend towards the sea, creating tourist resorts such as Ruskamen, Obriz, Vojskovo, Plani Rat and Ivašnjak. The old village of Lokva became an excursion site.

The best landmark of Lokva Rogoznica`s rich history are her churches like Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Church of Kuzma and Damjan from the 16th century and at the top of Omis Dinara Church of St. Vid from 13-14th century. There is a walking path to the church, which is ideal for all ages of mountain hikers. It is located at 639 m above the sea level, with a wonderful view of the islands and the peninsula from the south, and from the north view of the mountain. Beautiful sandy and pebble beaches stretch along the entire coast.

It got its name after a large reddish stone which can be found in the foot of the Dinara mountain. This stone was a landmark for sailors in ancient times. Villa Dešković originates from these ancient times too, it is the oldest building of Ruskamen. Today it is converted into a luxurious holiday villa and incorporated in the hotel.

Ruskamen beaches really look as from everyones dream. Beautiful white pebbles and crystal clear sea. The real charm of the Mediterranean and one of the reasons why you will return to us for sure.
