Defected Croatia will take place at The Garden Tisno from 30th July to 3rd August 2025.
About Defected Croatia
After many a successful season in Ibiza, the Defected team brought their unique vision to Croatia’s shores in 2016 for the very first Defected festival. A mix of main-stage house superstars, disco icons and underground heroes played to partygoers day and night in the awesome Garden Resort, making full use of everything the site has to offer – including daytime beach sessions and the (in)famous boat parties, great stages and the onsite nightclub, Barbarella’s, for some top-notch after parties.
Since their debut, they’ve built on their early experience and now they see 5,000 people from across the world gather together to experience house music heave on the shores of the Adriatic.
Phase 1 of 2025’s line-up has been announced, revealing some very exciting names on the bill of over 80 artists. Acts such as Groove Armada (DJ set), The Shapeshifters, Kerri Chandler, Dimitri from Paris, Mousse T, Gorgon City, Fat Tony, Todd Edwards, Dennis Ferrer, DJ Spen, Jelly Beneitez and Todd Terry will be appearing, with more names to be announced soon.
The Garden is also the perfect place to relax in the sun and sea by day when you’re looking for a little downtime from the festival.
Tickets and accommodation for Defected Croatia
A full four-day and night festival pass currently costs £219 (plus booking fee), which excludes boat parties but does include entry into Barbarella’s on each day. A payment plan for ticket purchases is also available, which means you can secure your ticket for just £19. (Tickets purchased on a payment plan do not, however, include entry into Barbarella’s.)
It is also possible to buy group tickets for Defected Croatia for 4, 5 or 6 people which gives you savings on each individual ticket price.
You can also buy a ticket that only gives you entry into Barbarella’s club for three nights. This is priced at £80 (plus b.f.).
All tickets can be purchased online from the official website.
New for this year, there is now an official Defeceted hotel – the Hotel Miran – which is just 12 minutes from the main festival site. The hotel offers two pools and a private beach, and will be continuing the fun of the festival with resident DJs playing each day. The Hotel Miran offers double rooms and beach cabins that sleep 2-5 people. More details on the Accommodation page.

Getting to Tisno
Tisno is best reached by flying into either Split or Zadar from the UK, although the former airport has more flights than the latter. Check out who flies to both places on our Getting to Split and Getting to Zadar pages. There are of course loads of flights to both places from all over Europe as well!
From either airport, it’s an easy transfer to the main bus terminal in each city. From there, take a bus to Tisno (if you’re looking up schedules, look up ‘Tisno R.’, ‘Tisno raskrsce’ or ‘Tisno magistrala’).
It may, however, be easiest to simply purchase an organised transfer from an airport – and don’t forget, there are other airports in Croatia you can fly into as well. See our Flights to Croatia from the UK & Ireland page for full details.
