Another great location is Hvar Island, especially around Hula Hula Beach Bar. This beach offers a perfect mix of sunbathing by day and vibrant parties by night, all set against the backdrop of clear Adriatic waters.
Party Time: The main event takes place during the day and into the early evening (from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM). People dance on tables, on the paved areas of the beach, and in the shallow water, cocktails in hand as the sun sets.
Iconic Status: Every “Yacht Week” and organized party boat that arrives in Hvar makes Hula Hula a mandatory stop for daytime drinking and dancing.
Music: DJs play lively house and popular commercial tracks live every afternoon throughout the season.

Night Out: Nightclubs and After Zones
After sunset, the nightlife energy of Split shifts toward Bačvice. This large three-story concrete complex on the beach houses restaurants, bars, and nightclubs:
Club Scene: Clubs like Club Bačvice and nearby bars (such as the former Tropic) operate every evening during summer from 10 PM to 4 AM. The music played is mostly commercial club hits, reggaeton, and house, with the dance floor often extending onto terraces overlooking the sea.
Night Swimming and Socializing on the Sand: Bačvice is famous for young people buying drinks from nearby shops or bars and simply sitting on the sand under the stars. Here, the line between dancing in the club and night swimming in the shallow water completely disappears.
