Pag is an island that has become known recently as being the place in Croatia to party. This is mainly due to the resort of Novalja in the north of the island. Here you will find an array of
fantastic party venues, from uber cool bars to open air clubs that play host to some of the world’s biggest DJs and summer festivals. There’s no better place to party than Novalja!
Novalja is blessed with beautiful beaches such as the one at Zrce, buzzing bars and some of the best beaches that you will find anywhere in Europe, perfect for relaxing on after a hard
night’s partying. With a range of accommodation to suit all pockets, ranging from comfortable hotels to fantastic value for money self catering accommodation, it makes a great destination for the young, young at heart and those who love to party.
But if you’re not a party animal, don’t let that put you off the island of Pag because it really does have so much more to offer. Pag Town which sits in the centre of the island makes an
excellent base to explore what else the island has to offer. It enjoys what can only be described as a spectacular setting and it is a resort that you will have the holiday of a lifetime in.
Quieter than the resort of Novalja, don’t be fooled into thinking that Pag Town is void of any fun and excitement, it certainly isn’t. It’s just that what it does offer is suitable for a more discerning clientele and for those people who don’t just want and drink and party their way through their vacation. Oozing with history and culture, it offers a very different holiday to what Novalja offers The beautiful Collegiate Church is well worth a visit, as is the nearby Duke’s Palace and the Bishop’s Palace which along with the town walls were built by the famous sculptor and mason Giorgio da Sebenico, famous for being the chief architect of the Cathedral of St James in Šibenik. There’s plenty of places to eat and drink in Pag Town, and the nightlife is enjoyable but much more relaxed than Novalja. From fast food and snack bars to rustic Croatian dining and international cuisine, Pag Town is a food lover's paradise. Accommodation is excellent in Pag Town too, and like Novalja, it offers a variety of accommodation options from value for money self catering properties to luxury hotels.
You can also enjoy some of the best beaches that Croatia has to offer in Pag Town. As well as the more popular tourist beaches that offer a range of facilities and activities, there are
also numerous coves to visit to enjoy a more tranquil time on the beach. One of these is situated at Simun, and is well worth travelling to as it is a wonderful place to relax in stunning surroundings.
Pag is an island of contrasts and depending upon what sort of holiday you want there is something for everyone, from party animals to the more relaxed holiday traveller.
