PARTY

Vodice

Vodice is a hotspot for nightlife in Dalmatia, often buzzing with young crowds and offering a mix of open-air and indoor venues. Here are the top discotheques

Hacienda

Hacienda is the most famous and oldest nightclub in Vodice, often regarded as one of the top summer clubs in Croatia. Located just 2 km from the town center, it features an open-air area and two dance floors, hosting renowned Croatian and international DJs, as well as pop musicians. With a capacity of 2,000, it’s a go-to spot for an unforgettable party night. Entry fees typically range from €5 to €30, depending on the event or performer. Its reputation for exclusivity and high-energy nights makes it a must-visit.

Opium

Situated in the heart of Vodice at the ACI Marina, Opium is another popular choice. It’s known for its lively atmosphere, hosting top Croatian DJs and live concerts throughout the summer. The club’s central location makes it easily accessible, and its marina setting adds a scenic vibe to the party experience. Opium is ideal for those who prefer to stay in the town center while enjoying a mix of electronic and pop music.

Makina and Exit

These two clubs are located near the center of Vodice and cater to different phases of the night. Makina is an early-night destination, opening around 11 PM and closing at 2 AM, often serving as a pre-party spot where people gather before heading to Exit or Hacienda. Exit, on the other hand, keeps the party going into the early hours, offering a more extended nightlife experience. Both clubs play a mix of dance music and Croatian pop-folk, appealing to a younger crowd.

Barbarella’s (Pirovac, 5 km from Vodice)

While not directly in Vodice, Barbarella’s in Pirovac is worth mentioning due to its proximity and reputation. It’s a 2,000-capacity open-air nightclub frequently voted one of the best in the world. Throughout the summer, it hosts famous DJs, allowing you to dance until sunrise with stunning views. It’s a short 5 km drive from Vodice, making it an excellent option for a big night out.

Šibenik Area

Šibenik itself doesn’t have large discotheques but offers a few smaller clubs and bars with a more relaxed vibe. For bigger party venues, you’ll often need to venture to nearby towns like Vodice or Primošten.

Azimut (Šibenik)

Located just steps from the Šibenik Cathedral, Azimut is a nightclub with a unique interior design and a slightly alternative music style. It’s a great spot for late-night outings in the heart of Šibenik’s old town, offering a more intimate clubbing experience compared to the larger venues in Vodice. The music leans toward alternative and electronic genres, making it a favorite for those seeking something different.

Dolac and Inside Club (Šibenik)

These are popular bars/clubs in Šibenik’s old city core. Dolac offers a casual atmosphere with drinks and music, while Inside Club provides a slightly more upbeat vibe with occasional DJ nights. Both are smaller venues, better suited for early evening drinks or a low-key night out rather than all-night dancing.

Aurora (Primošten, 30 km from Šibenik)

For those willing to travel a bit, Aurora in Primošten is one of the most famous clubs in the region. It’s a large discotheque known for attracting big-name DJs and hosting vibrant summer parties. Primošten is about a 30-minute drive from Šibenik, making it a viable option for a night out if you’re staying in the area.
