The story

Guests can experience unique venues including the East Harbour, forest stage, and amphitheatre, with amenities catering to a range of dietary needs.

The Island Festival is a 6-day electronic, musical gathering, yoga, meditation festival at Obonjan in Obonjan, Croatia. The August 2027 edition runs 31 Aug – 5 Sept 2027.

Expect stages split between electronic, musical gathering, yoga and meditation.

Everything happens at Obonjan, in Obonjan. Šibenik · 0 km · about 0 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.

The Island Festival keeps the same calendar slot each year: August 2027 for this edition, opening on a Tuesday and closing on a Sunday. It is a high-summer date, which is peak season for both travel and accommodation across the region. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Obonjan are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• 6 days of music and relaxation
• Venues include East Harbour, forest, pool, and amphitheatre
• Boat parties and yoga/meditation sessions
• Various food options including vegan, vegetarian, and meat kitchens

What the trip costs from Paris

The ticket is only 56% of that: the rest is getting there and sleeping somewhere, which is exactly the part most ticket sites leave out.

Cheapest travel we price is bus · 20h 59m each way, at €138 return.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at The Island Festival are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 7 nights rather than 6: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4If you fly into Split, Zadar, Zagreb, check the transfer time to Obonjan before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
5. 5Follow The Island Festival on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
