The anticipation of summer season is like the promise of a fabulous and refreshing cocktail after a long day at the beach in high summer -- it builds exponentially over time, the closer it gets. And while music lovers in Croatia have plenty of summer festivals to choose from, it's rarely the music alone that attracts a crowd. For our purposes, a festival is only as good as the hotels and the city it's in. 

After a successful launch of Ultra Europe 2014 after movie with a promising title “TO THE SUN” (we warmly recommend to watch) you should really hurry up with the purchase of early bird tickets and start your research of the best spots and best accommodation to prolong your experience from an amazing weekend to an amazing week. 

So, feast your eyes on two of the Mediterranean’s most amazing hotspots – the city of Split with its urban vibe and the fancy “new St. Tropez” island of Hvar, both playing host to the awesome upcoming Ultra Europe 2015 music festival in July.

If you have already visited the festival and find yourself addicted to the lifestyle after the first two editions, you'll need to know what else is in store for a more and more exciting No.3. Luckily, we put together a comprehensive list of the best of the fest so you don't have to miss out on a thing and make the best out of the hottest months of summer.

As usual, the festival starts on Poljud in Split, one of Europe’s arguably most beautiful cities. Let’s just refresh our memory with the edition of 2014 at Poljud featuring more than 120,000 people from over 125 countries around the world which enjoyed more than 86 hours of pure music with the most popular names in the electronic scene.

But the real treasured moment of this festival is revealed when the party is shifted to the one-of-a-kind island of Hvar in a beautiful beach resort destination. Home to vice, fun, sun, and great food, Hvar gives everyone plenty to see and do. This place has some of the best locations, bars and beaches in Europe and you may bump into a celebrity too. Enjoy the tropical atmosphere by Amfora Hvar Grand Beach Resort, order a cocktail and unite with the Ultra Europe rhythm while overlooking the panoramic views of the neighboring Paklinski islands. You’ll be glad you did. Right now you can take advantage of the early booking promotions and save up to 20% on the best accommodation for you and your whole entourage avoiding the last minute rush and overbooking.

“Back in Amfora, because of Ultra festival”

"Because we had such a great time on Hvar and in Amfora last year this year we came back because of Ultra Festival. The view from the room in this hotel is really amazing. My friend and I enjoyed mostly the pool area, and we think that the staff is really cute. I think that the cool thing is that they hire young people, they are a real refreshment."-says an overwhelmed Amfora guest on TripAdvisor.
