Barbarellas Open Air Nightclub will be open each night from Wednesday 7th July from 00:00am - 06:00am, closing in the early hours of Wednesday 14th at 6am.
Boat parties will run each day from Thursday 8th to Tuesday 13th.
Please note - Love International is an over 18s event. Children will not be allowed on site.
If you want to take the scenic route, travelling by rail or road across Europe is a vibe. Many international trains and FlixBuses run directly into Zagreb from across Europe.
We recommend mapping out your journey using planners like RailEurope or Omio. If you are starting your journey in the UK, check out The Man at Seat 61. Once you arrive in Zagreb, you can hop on a direct coach down to Tisno. Or you could make a few stops along the coast!
Coming by sea? The nearest ferry port is Zadar. The main local operator is Jadrolinija, though you'll also find various Italian lines crossing the Adriatic. For example, the ferry from Ancona (Italy) to Zadar takes roughly 4 hours.
From Zadar, you can take one of the regular 1 hour long coaches to Tisno.
Zadar Airport is the nearest airport, only 40 mins by car. Split is 60 mins by car and Zagreb 3 hours by car. These journey times are for the highway route and will take a little longer by bus / coach. We encourage you to consider balancing emissions from your flights via the Onboard:earth website or app.
We recommend that you book an organised airport coach transfer through Shuttle Tours, who will bring you from Zadar or Split airport with lots of other festival revellers direct to Tisno.
Alternatively, there are buses from all airports to the main centre bus terminals, and from all cities you will find regular buses to Zadar or Sibenik. Once at Zadar / Sibenik main bus terminal, take a local bus to Tisno.
*Note – guests do not want to go from Split airport to Split centre and then Tisnothis is the wrong direction.
We feel super lucky to host our annual party on the Dalmatian coast. A massive amount of care for the environment goes into planning Love International, but we recognise we aren't perfect, and international travel is by far our biggest collective footprint.
So, what are we doing about it?
We are testing non-flying travel routes to the festival, improving public transport info for our guests, and taking responsibility for the emissions generated by our own crew travel. For example, in 2025 we measured and balanced 55.67 tonnes of CO₂e from crew flights and transfers, with the help of our partner Onboard:earth. This supported global projects that secure biodiversity corridors, deliver clean cookstoves to communities, support sustainable agriculture, and more (read about that here).
We’ve also added a mandatory climate levy to every ticket sold for Love International 2027. This helps to balance our audiences’ emissions by funding projects that protect threatened rainforest, restore woodland, support communities living on the frontlines of climate breakdown, and plant new seagrass in both the UK and internationally.
We are committed to taking responsibility so that we can keep dancing in Tisno for years to come, and we invite you to join us in doing what you can.
There are no Day Tickets left for The Garden but you can still get single event tickets for Barbarellas.
Tickets for 2027’s edition of Love International will go on sale from Friday 25th September 2026 all Boat Party tickets, Barbarella’s Unlimited passes & day tickets will go on sale at a later date.
Box Office Opening times: 12:00 - 00:00 throughout the festival.
£1 from every ticket sold is donated to our charity or social enterprise partners to work on projects that create positive social impact. Onboard:earth – formerly Energy Revolution and ecolibrium – supports low-carbon travel and ecosystem restoration at live events, funding reforestation, rainforest protection, and community renewable energy projects since 2015. Part of your donation will also support the growth of the Croatian ballroom scene—funding local dancers, events, and training programs to help preserve tradition and inspire the next generation of performers.
Barbarella's Discotheque Tickets - You don’t need a festival ticket to gain entry to Barbarella’s as this is a separate venue. We have sold out of Barbarella’s Unlimited tickets but you can buy individual day tickets on our website or if not sold out, on the door at Barbs on the night. You can purchase a bus ticket at the bus stop to get to and from Barbs. This is €5 each way.
Boat Parties - You must have a festival wristband to attend a boat party and purchase a separate ticket for the boat party you wish to attend. There are 2 boats which leave from within the festival site - The Argonaughty and The Arbiana. Please don’t queue at the jetty without a ticket - if any tickets are returned or put up for resale, we will share this information via social media. See the What’s Happening section for more information on boat parties.

It is likely that all main festival tickets, Boat Parties and Barbarella’s Unlimited tickets will sell out in advance of the festival so it is recommended to purchase all the tickets you will need when they go on sale. Sometimes we have individual Barbarella events tickets available but this won’t be confirmed until the week of the show. Box Office Opening times: 12:00 - 00:00 throughout the festival.

The Garden
Love International takes place over 7 full days & nights, between the 7th - 13th July, with a 24-hours a day music programme that stretches between our idyllic Sunrise Sessions, the stunning Garden Festival site, a series of Boat Parties along the Dalmatian Coast and the infamous Barbarella’s Discotheque. Central to Love International is a family of returning artists, crews and partygoers from across the world, coming together in Tisno for a celebration of sun, music and community.
A continuation of the original Garden Festival - which first took place in Croatia over 20 years ago and paved the way for many of the festivals which now take place across Tisno & Croatia as a whole - Love International is proud to carry the torch and continue the legacy forward into the future.
Barbarella’s Discoteque

The boat parties are held on 2 different boats - The Argonaut and The Arbiana, depending on which ticket you purchase. The boat parties take place on Thursday 8th, Friday 9th, Saturday 10th, Sunday 11th and Monday 12th July. The boats will leave at staggered times - please ensure you get on the right boat! Please treat the boats with respect, they are over 100 years old and have recently undergone refurbishment.
Boat party tickets need to be purchased in addition to your festival ticket. If there are any returns or cancellation of tickets, we will share this information via social media. Please don’t come down to the jetty whilst we are loading the boats without a ticket, it will slow the parties down and we won’t have tickets for sale from here.
The boats will depart from the jetty next to The Pier Stage for a 4 hour trip, docking back at the festival site. Please arrive 30 minutes before the advertised start time (eg. arrive at 1.30pm for a 2pm boat party start time).
There will be drinks available for purchase via your RFID bands on the boat. You cannot take food or drink on the boat with you.
Please note there may be some accessibility restrictions for this event. You will need to access the boat via a narrow slightly elevated wooden plank. For those with mobility issues, please speak to the festival team in advance.
Please bring everything you need for a minimum 4 hour trip including suncream, clothing and anything else you might need.
The Sunrise Sessions take place from 6am every morning, located just behind The Beach Stage, under the shade of the trees. Whether you’re just starting your day or joining us from Barbarella’s, you must have a festival pass that covers the Festival Site for that day. If you are planning on purchasing a day ticket and attending the Sunrise Session of that day, you must purchase your ticket from the Box Office and collect your wristband the day before, as Sunrise Sessions starts and finishes before the Box Office opens at midday.
We are able to offer a limited supply of PA tickets to support customers with accessibility requirements. Please email loveinternational@teamlove.org for more information.
The Garden site has steps throughout the site and is a mixture of hard surfaces, beach and grassed areas. Guests with mobility issues may need to come through the campsite of the festival site as it has step free access. There is an accessible toilet onsite with a coded lock.

EU citizens: bring your ID
Non-EU citizens: bring ID + proof of travel insurance
UK citizens travelling to Croatia for a holiday require travel insurance and should carry a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) or a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) to access state-provided healthcare at a reduced cost or for free.
A GHIC/EHIC is not a substitute for travel insurance, which is essential to cover costs not included, such as emergency repatriation, private treatment, or other medical expenses. UK residents can apply for a free GHIC on the NHS website.
Citizens from other countries should check with their embassy or government website what is required for travel in Croatia.
When traveling to Love International, you are subject to Croatian law. To ensure a smooth trip, we highly recommend checking your home country’s official government travel advice before you arrive.
UK Residents: You can find up-to-date travel advice, entry requirements, and safety guidelines for Croatia on the FCDO Foreign Travel Advice page.
International Guests: Please consult your own government’s foreign office or state department website for specific travel directives.
Croatia’s currency is the Euro. Kuna is no longer in circulation. Please note that the festival site, boat parties and Barbarellas nightclub operate a cashless system and RFID wristbands will be in operation. There is an ATM machine on site at The Garden and several in Tisno.
Basically, forget trains! Buses and coaches are quicker, cheaper and connect all cities with a regular service. You can buy tickets on board the bus, but you should get a receipt. Longer journeys have service stops included in the travel time.
- For tracking down local timetables, use BalkanViator.
- FlixBus is the biggest coach operator to get from city to city.
- When booking a coach to Tisno, your stop will likely be Kapela (also known as Tisno R stop based right by the Marin Restaurant on the main highway). From the Kapela crossroads, it's about a 10-minute taxi or shuttle ride into Tisno town and the festival site.
Local buses connect the main towns - Tisno, Jezera, Murter, and Betina - but their schedules change seasonally and are rarely posted online.
You can check routes and schedules on BalkanViator or Bus Croatia. Please note that these are not bus operators, so we recommend confirming departure times with the local bus operator or at the tourist board before you travel.
Terms & conditions vary between car hire companies, but generally you should be able to hire a car if you are over 21 years old and have held a licence for a minimum of 1 year. Taxis and buses are widely available though!
Absolutely! You can check out local rental spots ahead of time like Black Pearl Tisno or Kornatica Agency in Tisno. If you're on the Jezera side, there’s Free Spirit Activities right on the waterfront, or check out JOP in Murter and Rent-a-Bike Merki in Jezera.
You will find independent bike rental shops dotted along the waterfront in Tisno, Jezera, and Murter. Most of these are charmingly old-school and don't maintain active websites, but they are easy to spot as you wander around!
Taxis can be found at the entrance to the festival site in the main car park and they are metered. Please make sure you get a taxi that is certified and has a ‘The Garden’ label on it. All certified taxis will have a taxi licence stuck on their windshield - please be careful to check!
Taxi Pricing for 2027 can be found on The Garden website.
Barbs is approximately a 15 minute drive from the festival site and there will be a bus service running from The Garden starting on Weds 7th July from 00:00until 02:15am. The departure bus stop is in the Main Entrance of The Garden site. Buses will leave Barbarellas from 04:00am until 06:20am. The buses will drop passengers off at The Dustbowl car park. This is for safety reasons whilst passengers disembark from the buses. It is an 8-minute walk back to The Garden from The Dustbowl or a 10 minute walk back into Tisno.
The buses will cost €5 each way which is payable at the bus stop using your RFID wristband only.
Each night:
Outbound: 00:00-02:15am
Return: 04:00am-06:20am

A passport is the preferred form of identification. However digital ID will now be accepted, including a clear photograph of a passport or ID card stored on a mobile phone.
Recreational drugs are as illegal in Croatia as they are in most places around the world and their use will be looked upon very seriously by the Croatian Police. Police will be in operation in and around the festival site issuing fines or arresting anyone found to be breaking the law. Please abide by local regulations and laws at all times.
You should research your destinations and get appropriate travel insurance. Insurance should cover your itinerary, planned activities and expenses in an emergency.
