Lokvičići is located about 60 km east of Split, relatively high above the sea level (600-700 m), with just over 1,000 inhabitants in two villages.
Just north of Lokvičići are three karstic lakes, being karstic holes filled with water, similar to the much more famous Imotski Red and Blue lakes nearby.
Until 1997 the area of Lokvičići was an exclave of the town of Imotski, from which it seceded, adding parts of the former municipality of Donji Proložac, today Proložac.
