Taking place at the stunning The Garden Resort in Tisno, Croatia in the summer of 2025, Dekmantel Selectors is a very limited-capacity festival that will showcase the talents of some of the finest DJs in an intimate, picturesque environment. During daylight hours, the festival will take place within a small piece of beautiful coastline alongside the Adriatic Sea, while activities will shift to the much loved Barbarella's at night.

Dekmantel Selectors, 21-25 AUG 2025

Nestled on the Dalmatian coastline, The Garden in Tisno is a true slice of paradise: crystal clear azure Adriatic waters, lush olive and fig trees, sizzling sunshine, and star-lit night skies. Here, you are so close to the sea you are almost dancing in it. You can soak up the usual Dekmantel touch on sound, production and atmosphere amongst five stages, including a listening stage at the restaurant area of the resort.

Barbarella's Discotheque

Tisno is conveniently located on the beautiful Adriatic coast halfway between Zadar (45 mins) and Split (60 mins). Taking the train to Croatia certainly is the most picturesque and climate-friendly mode of travelling (although it might take longer). There’s a few options for trains departing from<a href="https://www.thetrainline.com/nl/treintijden/amsterdam-naar-zagreb"> the Netherlands</a>,<a href="https://www.traincroatia.com/en/germany-to-croatia-train/"> Germany</a>,<a href="https://www.thetrainline.com/en/train-times/paris-to-zagreb"> France</a>,<a href="https://www.traincroatia.com/en/uk-to-croatia-train/"> UK</a> and<a href="https://www.thetrainline.com/en/train-times/bruxelles-to-zagreb"> Belgium</a>, and most of them are fairly inexpensive too – for more general information, please check <a href="https://www.traincroatia.com/en/">here</a>. However, if flying is the most feasible option for you, multiple airlines connect to both Zadar and Split airports. From there, airport transfers will be available, which can be booked through Shuttle Tours over <a href="http://shuttletours.net/event/dekmantel-selectors">here</a> more closely to the festival.

Travel

When it comes to lowering our collective environmental impact, great gains can be achieved by reducing and – if airtravel really is the only practical option – compensating flights. We have been compensating all artists’ flights since 2019 using <a href="https://www.atmosfair.de/en/about_us/what_is_atmosfair/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atmosfair</a>, and we hope that you’re interested in joining us in our mission to give back to nature and future generations. Therefore, we have introduced options for carbon offsetting via our ticketing shop this year. Read more <a href="https://dekmantelselectors.com/pages/co2-compensation">here</a>.
