THE LOCATION
The Garden Resort, Tisno is a true slice of paradise in Croatia, home to some of the most beautiful and unspoilt coastline in Europe. Azure Adriatic waters, shimmering sandy beaches, guaranteed sunshine, exquisite sunsets and star-lit night skies make for a fantastic festival setting where The Garden’s natural amphitheatre rolls gently into the surrounding forest-covered hills. Located just a short walk or water taxi ride from the historic old town of Tisno, which has many waterside bars, cafés and restuarants, the site itself not only has a true festival feel but retains an intimacy so often missing from many modern-day electronic music festivals.
TRAVEL
Tisno is conveniently located halfway between the cities of Zadar (45mins) and Split (60 mins), which are both served by international airports. Low-cost airlines such as Croatia Airlines, EasyJet, Monarch, Jet 2, Germanwings and Ryanair fly in from over 50 destinations across Europe. Full airport transfers will also be available.
ACCOMMODATION
The Garden Resort offers a range of on-site accommodation options to suit all budgets. Overlooking the bay are 80 air-conditioned apartments all with balconies or terraces, an exotic selection of iconic Airstream trailers or glamorous wooden yachts moored in the festival bay, there’s luxury boutique camping in stunning Indian Shikar tents, as well as a Podpads and DIY camping. Wherever you choose to stay, you’ll be surrounded by like-minded souls, all just seconds from the action.
To book onsite accommodation, simply visit the Garden Resort website.
Offsite Accommodation is also available in Tisno and its surrounding area. It’s easily accessed by contacting The Garden Resort’s own accommodation concierge Helena, as well as through a range of travel specialists including Love Music Travel.
WHAT ELSE TO DO
Much more than simply a music festival, Defected Croatia 2016 will be an unforgettable holiday experience.
Croatia is home to some incredible cuisine with speciality Dalmatian seafood and steak dishes plentiful across both the Festival site itself and in the town of Tisno.
The Garden Resort, Tisno is also surrounded by a number of globally-renowned places of interest well worth a visit. In close proximity are the historic coastal cities of Zadar, Šibenik and Split, with Hvar and UNESCO world-heritage site, Dubronik further afield. Croatia is also home to some of Europe’s most breath-taking national parks, such as the Plitvice Lakes and the Kornati Island archipelago, which can be reached by yacht.
Or simply laze in the sunshine within the Garden Resort, take in all the music by day in preparation for the evening or nights ahead – all brought to you by us.
We look forward to seeing you there...
