5 Best Nightlife in Hvar

Hula Hula Beach Bar is one of the longest-standing clubs on the island, famous for its stylish location and pulsating parties that span both day and night. The bar features a tiered outdoor terrace, which stretches out across the water. Around the space, you'll find chic wooden loungers and cabanas that are great for big groups of friends. There are also covered bungalows that are ideal for escaping the heat. 

The tiki-style bar serves a large range of cocktails, while there are also meals on offer from breakfast until dinner. To name a few specialities, there's Thai chicken curry and beef tagliata. Meanwhile, there's also the chance to enjoy a relaxing massage or rent a boat to explore the coastline.

Set off the coast of Hvar Town on Marinkovac Island, Carpe Diem Beach Club attracts a wealth of local and international musicians throughout the year. Spread across 2,500 square metres, the lush location is surrounded by towering pine trees. Here, you'll find an array of restaurants, terraces, lounge bars and cool event spaces.

When the sun is out, Carpe Diem has a laid-back feel with lounge music providing the soundtrack. The venue really comes to life once the sun goes down, with renowned DJs getting the crowd dancing until late. If you prefer a more low-key night, the club offers a sprawling wellness area with 2 beaches and a deck. You can take a free taxi boat from Hvar Town harbour to Carpe Diem. The journey takes around 10 minutes per one-way trip.

Central Park Club is a slight divergence from the booming beats of many Hvar nightlife venues. Here, live music is the main focus, with each evening welcoming great talent across jazz, soul, blues and big band. The colourful space inside recalls the 1950s and 60s, with comfy couches, high ceilings and a roaring fireplace that gives the place an easy-going vibe.

During the day, Central Park Club is a hotspot for breakfast and lunch with soundtracks of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Aretha Franklin playing in the background. However, summer nights are when the venue is truly at its best, as you can enjoy wine or a cocktail and tap your feet to live acts.

Kiva Bar finds itself surrounded by restaurants and taverns, but none of them offers the same atmosphere. As a choice pick for young travellers and locals alike, each night sees Kiva Bar overflowing with late-night revellers who have arrived in Hvar Town to party.

The music tends to keep things pretty upbeat, with tunes spanning just about every era and genre. As midnight approaches, the outside laneway becomes crowded with guests relishing the island lifestyle. The vibe remains positive and energetic, with the hip crowd creating a welcoming feel for newcomers who are looking to have an awesome night out and make some new friends.
