Hvar knows how to have fun, which is obvious at the harborside Carpe Diem, a 2-story dance club and outdoor bar featuring well-sunned singles socializing to the beat of Mediterranean house music.

Carpe Diem

Late-summer parties in August and September last from midafternoon till the early hours of the morning. Buy a bottle and snuggle up in the quirky VIP area for the best people-watching. Carpe Diem is also launching a beach club in time for the 2008 summer season.

Hvar Nightlife

As night turns to early morning, head for Veneranda, Hvar's one late-night dance club. It lures a mixed crowd of all-night revelers to its hillside promontory above the main town.

Visitors arrive after 10 p.m. and ascend a stone staircase to a promenade that overlooks the lights of Hvar and moonlit seaside. A DJ stage and outdoor dance floor under a tented canopy attracts the legions vacating Carpe Diem around 2 a.m. The pool and clubby lounge are perfect for watching a Hvar sunrise.
