Climbing 11 spots since arriving as a new entry in last year's poll, the rise of Revelin has run tidily alongside the emergence of Croatia as a dance destination for clued-up tourists. The different here, however, is that in contrast to the many imported festivals along the Adriatic coast, this historic archway club is 100% homegrown.

Set within the beautific surroundings of Dubrovnik's old town — the idyllic setting of Game Of Thrones — Revelin resides inside a sandstone fort built in 1453. Over the past 12 months, the likes of Fedde Le Grand, Mark Knight and Don Diablo have rocked its colossal M.Audio stacks inside what's basically an old castle containing a mixture of tanned locals and sun-kissed tourists.
