About Papaya Spring Break
Papaya Spring Break runs at Zrce Beach near Novalja from 21 to 23 May 2027, based at Papaya, the open air club that anchors the strip. Three days in late May puts it right at the start of the Croatian season, before the Adriatic calendar gets busy.
Papaya is one of the three large open air clubs on Zrce, alongside Kalypso and Noa, all within walking distance of each other on the same pebble beach on the island of Pag. Nothing else in Europe concentrates that much open air capacity in one place.
Tickets are sold through the Zrce booking site, which also handles accommodation and transfers. Zadar and Rijeka are the nearest airports at around two hours by road, with Pag connected to the mainland by bridge and ferry links from Zadar. Late May on the Adriatic is around 22 degrees with the sea warming. For a Croatian beach club music festival, Papaya Spring Break opens the Zrce season.
