For many years now a small island off the coast of Croatia has been making a fantastic name for itself.
The Island of Pag is home to the open air clubbing sensation that is Zrce beach and if you are a clubber this place is most definitely for you.
Zrce Beach has built up a reputation for being a day and night party location of epic proportions!
There are four amazing, world class superclubs that are open all season long literally 24 hours a day!
The similarities to Ibiza are blatantly there but forget that, they have created their very own clubbing ecosystem with its very own Adriatic vibe.
There are two big differences to that of Ibiza and other dance destinations. The first is that all of the clubs are open air and, unlike Ibiza, they DO NOT have to turn their music down after midnight so their big and booming sound systems run through to sunrise daily!
And secondly, the cost of entrance and drinks is far, far less than that of other superclub destinations. You will be looking at spending at least 50% LESS on Zrće beach than you would at an Ibiza superclub!
How appealing is that!
The Zrce clubs are Papaya, Aquarius, Kalypso, and Noa Beach Club, and you have to see them to really understand how fabulous they are!
Think swimming pools, palm trees, hammocks, cabana hut bars, daybeds and Adriatic design everywhere!
The pool party “after beach” sessions start around 4pm and finish at 8pm. After that, most people go back to their accommodation to shower, eat and smarten up for the night time sessions that start at 11pm and go through to dawn!
Simply magical.
Club Papaya - Zrce Beach
Papaya is arguably Croatia’s leading venue. It is the perfect example of a day and night venue. One section of the Zrće club is designed as a crazy pool party space and the larger section is a sophisticated open venue that is now recognised all over the world.
Club Papaya opened in 2002 and has since been key in developing Zrce beach as a destination. They have attracted every global superstar DJ imaginable and have played an integral role in the success of events such as Hideout Festival, Fresh Island Festival, Sonus Festival and many more.
Aquarius - Zrce Beach
Club Aquarius is located literally next door to Club Papaya on Zrće beach. Like Papaya, this Zrće club works all day as a chilled beach bar and excellent restaurant.
Aquarius is one of the oldest clubs in Croatia and a regular in DJ Mag’s top 20 clubs in the world.
You can enjoy the finest DJ line ups in the world whilst raving away on the dance floor or simply treat yourself in the stunning VIP section whilst overlooking the open air dance floor and the most beautiful Zrce beach backdrop you can imagine.
Breathtaking on every level.
Kalypso - Zrce Beach
Thank you Kalypso!
If it wasn’t for these guys opening in 1987 Zrce beach as we find it today simply would not exist. They were the first to open down on the beach and the rest is now a part of clubbing history.
For many years Kalypso was built into the woods at the edge of Zrce beach becoming a home for festivals and ravers from all over the planet.
In 2015, they had a major refurbishment turning the venue into a stunning and sophisticated venue but still they merged beautifully into the wooded surroundings.
A venue like no other and always a big favourite for party goers and superstar DJs alike.
Noa Beach Club - Zrce Beach
New kid on the Zrće block Noa Beach Club has really turned some heads since opening a few years ago.
Noa’s location is simply genius as the club is actually set out over the water on stilts and is without doubt one of the funkiest looking venues in the World.
The club offers a two level open air experience, there are bars everywhere, pool and foam parties operate every day and superyachts even berth alongside the dance floor.
Even though Noa Beach Club is the baby of the Zrce beach family their no-holds barred and big budget approach to running the venue has certainly seen Noa becoming one of the leading Zrce beach attractions.
Keep up the good work guys!
