Aquarius Club 2026 — The Classic at Zrce Beach Stays Active

Published on 18 March 2026

It is official: Aquarius Club returns to Zrce Festival Beach in June 2026. After sitting out the entire 2025 season — the club remained closed — the comeback is one of the most exciting pieces of news for everyone who loves the famous beach on the island of Pag.

One of Zrce Beach's Original Clubs

Aquarius Club is one of the founding venues of Zrce Beach. While other locations came and went, Aquarius was a mainstay of nightlife on the Croatian Adriatic coast for years. Generations of party holidaymakers associate the club with unforgettable nights under the open sky, right by the sea.

In 2024, Aquarius Club reached number 48 in the DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs ranking — an accolade that underlines the club's international appeal. Very few open-air venues anywhere in Europe make it onto this prestigious list, and Aquarius was among them.

Why Was the Club Closed in 2025?

The 2025 season brought massive upheaval to Zrce Beach. Authorities cracked down on illegal structures built on public maritime land, which led to the demolition or temporary closure of several venues along the beach. Aquarius Club decided to sit out the season and use the time for extensive renovations and a conceptual overhaul.

In hindsight, it was a smart move. Instead of operating under uncertain conditions, the team invested in the future — and that investment is paying off now.

What to Expect from the Comeback

Over the past months, the operators have not only modernized the infrastructure but also completely revamped the musical programme. Planned upgrades include:

Renovated main floor area with an upgraded sound system and lighting concept
New VIP sections with direct beach access
Expanded booking programme featuring international DJs and local talent
Sustainability initiative — less single-use plastic, improved waste management

The exact line-up for the opening weeks will be announced in the coming weeks. One thing is certain: Aquarius does not simply want to pick up where it left off in 2024 — it is aiming for a genuine fresh start.

Zrce Festival Beach Is Alive — More Than Ever

The reopening of Aquarius Club sends a strong signal for the entire Zrce Festival Beach. Despite the changes of the past two years — the demolition of NOA Beach Club, new regulatory requirements, the restructuring of several venues — the club scene is not dying. It is evolving.

Together with Papaya Club, Kalypso, and the new Symbol, Aquarius forms a powerful line-up that keeps Zrce Beach firmly among Europe's top party destinations in 2026. Add to that a packed festival calendar ranging from hardstyle to techno.
