It seems as though all of the big late summer dance music festivals decided to release their aftermovies this week. Monday saw the unveiling of Electric Zoo's 4-minute recap, while Tuesday gave TomorrowWorld's longer 13-minute mini-movie. Now today, not to be outdone by its festival peers, Ultra Music Festival decided to release the aftermovie for the third edition of its European festival, Ultra Europe (via Ultra Music Festival Youtube).

Taking place on the island of Split at Stadium Poljud, the festival takes full advantage of Croatia's stunning scenery and vast expanses of ocean-front property. This is highlighted in the video that refreshingly does not just recycle the same repetitive pieces of live footage over and over. It only spends the last few minutes in the stadium, showcasing the production, people having a great time to the music and the DJs like Fedde Le Grand, David Guetta and Carl Cox all speaking in amazement at the events that have unfolded in Croatia.

The vast majority of the aftermovie focuses on the beauty of the surrounding area and what happens during the day time at pool parties and boat parties, which occur before and after the festival.

Croatia is the new European vacation hotspot and Ultra Europe is taking full advantage of that. They are not the only ones landing on Croatia's beautiful shores with others joining the party like Hideout Festival and Croatia Rocks, but Ultra Europe is the biggest and most popular.

Ultra Europe 2015 will take place next year in the same place from July 10-12. Advance general admission tickets are now on sale, so head to the Ultra Europe website to grab yours and start planning out your Croatian vacation next summer. The 2014 lineup featured artists like Above & Beyond, Tiësto, Hardwell, Martin Garrix, Disclosure, Carl Cox and many others (via Ultra Europe). Expect the same type of heavyweights again this year.
