Sonus was one of the first international events to arrive in Croatia and it has remained at the forefront of the Adriatic movement ever since thanks to its “in music and nature we trust” ethos. The event attracts a wide reaching crowd of music lovers, travellers and professional party people, connecting the international community with that of its host locale. It’s an event produced by ravers, for ravers, with every detail taken care of in spectacular fashion – from production and curation, to sound and visuals.

The result is a utopian destination where dancefloor devotées dance from dusk to dawn in the sand or with the stars above, in stunning open-air venues in beautiful and uncommercialised surroundings.
