Dance, Music, and Sun
Since 2011, Hideout Festival has emerged as one of Europe's leading electronic music festivals, captivating crowds on the renowned Zrće Beach in Croatia. While the beach is already famous for its vibrant nightlife, with numerous bars and clubs dotting the shoreline, the Hideout Festival adds another dimension by transforming the beach into a giant open-air dance floor. World-class DJs and producers take center stage and play non-stop beats, creating an electrifying atmosphere that lasts throughout the day and night. All of this takes place against a stunning backdrop of majestic mountains and the tranquil Adriatic Sea. It's hard to imagine a better way to party! Don't you think?

This year the festival brings over a hundred of the world's best artists for five days across Novalja's popular clubs, including Noa, Aquarius, Papaya, and Kalypso. Each club provides a unique setting perfect for dancing to the rhythm of 4am Kru, Bad Boy Chiller Crew, Allan Fitzpatrick, Andy C, Darius Syrossian, Girls Don't Sync, Honey Dijon, Sonny Fodera, Loco Dice, Chase & Status, Jayda G, Patrick Topping, Gorgon City and many more.
Called "A utopia of house, techno, disco, and bass all in one" by Mix Mag, the Hideout festival, in addition to its club parties, also includes pre-parties, after-parties, and numerous private boat parties. And if that isn't enough for you, the organizers also offer a range of activities to enjoy during the day. From banana boats and pedalos to jet skies and the famous Zrce Beach bungee jump, there's plenty to keep you entertained.
Where Music Meets Paradise
And if you need a break from the crowds and the noise, the island of Pag has plenty of hidden gems to explore. There's something for everyone, from quaint fishing villages and ancient ruins to stunning natural parks and secluded coves. You might want to check out the fantastic historic site in Novalja - an original Roman aqueduct called Talijanova buža! This aqueduct is over a kilometer long and a really neat place to visit. Another interesting spot to explore is the Bermuda Triangle of Pag. This strange and mysterious place was discovered back in 1999, and it's a three-sided formation of unusual stone patterns that stretch across an area of about 30 meters. It's definitely worth checking out if you're into weird and wacky phenomena! And of course, if you're a food lover, you absolutely have to try the local specialty - Pag lamb. Trust us; your taste buds will be in heaven!
So if you're a fan of electronic music, beach parties, and good vibes, the Hideout Festival on Zrće Beach is an event you simply can't miss. With its stunning location, world-class lineup, and unbeatable atmosphere, it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience you'll never forget.
