Croatia: Our First Impression

Split perfectly blends paradise and party — where ancient stone streets meet turquoise seas, and golden sunsets melt into electric nights. By day, you can swim in crystal-clear coves, wander through Roman palaces, and sip cocktails on the beach. By night, the city comes alive with rooftop bars, open-air clubs, and beach parties that last until sunrise. Add in the incredible array of events Croatia attracts throughout the season, and it’s the kind of destination that leaves you sun-kissed, carefree, and already planning your next trip back.

To preview the experience, we took a group of our creators to Split to check out the chaos we intend to bring in Croatia 2026. Here’s a breakdown of what went down:

Day 1

Our creators began landing in Split, and from the moment people arrived, it was clear that this trip was going to be amazing. From the airport — which is impressive in itself — to the stunning views on the drive into the city, excitement was high. Pro tip: Uber is significantly cheaper than local taxis!

The first day was spent around the pool of our hotel, which was absolutely gorgeous. Guests enjoyed the breathtaking views, with the sea on one side and mountains on the other, while cocktails flowed throughout the day. We officially welcomed the creators to Croatia in true Party Hard style, setting the tone for an unforgettable trip.

Night 1: The night kicked off on the hotel rooftop before heading out on the bar crawl. We started at Jimmy’s, moved on to Chiba, and continued through a mix of pubs, Irish bars, and shot bars in the Old Town. The night ended at X Club, perfectly capping off our first night. By the end of the crawl, the word “crawl” certainly felt appropriate!

Day 2

After a few sore heads, the group started the day with the holiday staple, a chicken Caesar salad, while reminiscing about the previous night. It was Boat Party Day! After a quick refresh, we returned to Jimmy’s for pre-drinks before heading out to sea.

The boat party was everything we hoped for: crystal-clear waters, top DJs, and unforgettable sunsets. It was an incredible experience, and we can’t wait to return for Croatia 2026! (included in our ultimate events package)

The party didn’t stop there. Once back on land, we got dressed for a night out, grabbed pre-drinks, and headed to Central Nightclub, where the energy was electric and the night went off without a hitch.

Day 3

On the final day, we took a more relaxed approach, exploring Split’s Old Town and enjoying some of its culinary highlights. Fabrique was a standout spot for lunch and also transforms into a club at night. We also tried our hand at some local wine tasting, taking in the stunning sights and soaking up the beauty of Croatia.

That evening, we gathered for drinks with new friends, reminiscing about what many described as “the best trip yet.” Of course, the night concluded in true Party Hard style.
