Sail & party on the biggest music festival in Croatia
Experience the best electronic music festival to have ever hit Croatia, welcoming over 140,000 people to the shores of Split. Ultra Europe has become one of the biggest music festival on the continent. Bringing it all together on the lush Adriatic coast of the Croatian town of Split, the festival lays on a programme of epic stadium shows, beach kickbacks and full-throttle boat parties across the town and its surrounding islands.
Recent editions have featured the likes of David Guetta, deadmau5 and The Chemical Brothers, who each touched down alongside a pilgrimage of dance music fans from around the world, eager to party like they’ve never done before.
With the main festival taking place inside Split’s historical Stadion Poljud, festival-goers will also take to the waves onboard a selection of no-holds-barred boat parties, as well as docking on some of the country’s most beautiful islands for a set of heavenly beach parties.

Day 7, back to Split
Enjoy a leisurely sail on the way back to the marina, with a stop at a breathtaking clear water lagoon.
With its seafront cafés and ancient alleyways, shouting stallholders and travellers on the move, bustling, exuberant SPLIT is one of the Mediterranean’s most compelling cities. It has a unique historical heritage too, having grown out of the palace built here by the Roman Emperor Diocletian in 295AD. The palace remains the city’s central ingredient, having been gradually transformed into a warren of houses, tenements, churches and chapels by the various peoples who came to live here after Diocletian’s successors had departed. Lying beyond the Roman/medieval tangle of central Split lie suburban streets full of palms and exotic plants, followed by stately rows of socialist-era housing blocks that look like something out of a modernist architectural stylebook.
Nearly everything worth seeing in Split is concentrated in the compact Old Town behind the waterfront Riva, made up in part of the various remains and conversions of Diocletian’s Palace itself, and the medieval additions to the west of it. You can walk across this area in about ten minutes, although it would take a lifetime to explore all its nooks and crannies.
- Visit the Diocletian’s Palace
- Wine tasting at Putaly Winery
- Explore the Old Split
- Walk down the famous Split’s riva
- It is you last night – So eat at some fancy place or party till sunrise
