Beginnings
The desire to actively participate in the lives of the people of the Makarska Riviera community has always been one of the guiding principles of the Pašalić family.
When the company Apfel d.o.o. was founded in 1996, this idea was incorporated into a business plan and implemented by promoting cultural and sports activities both as a sponsor and as an organizer of public events.
Implementation
Despite the COVID crisis and the unpredictability it has caused in recent years, the plan to open the Apfel Arena in October 2022 has been successfully realized.
Its 14,000 m2 complex is located at the eastern entrance to Makarska. The indoor space features over 4300 m2 and includes a multifunctional presentation hall with 360 seats intended for theatre performances, concerts, conferences, and seminars, a sports area with a parquet floor, a sports field with artificial grass, a padel court, a fitness hall (and associated service areas), a children’s playroom, a coffee shop/pizzeria, and spaces for health services on the second floor of the complex, allowing the provision of basic and specialist health services. Outdoor areas include a tennis court, a futsal field with artificial grass, and a children’s playground. Our desire to preserve green areas is reflected primarily in our Mediterranean garden featuring over 2000 m2 and boasting two gazebos with barbecues surrounded by olive trees – an ideal place for informal gatherings with colleagues or family.
