Zhega Beach Club opens in Split, Croatia offering Mediterranean luxury

The Zhega Beach Club has opened within the Le Méridien Lav Resort in Split, Croatia. The venue blends contemporary design, Mediterranean cuisine, curated music and a daily "Zhega Hour" sunset ritual aimed at the new generation of travelers seeking an immersive, all‑day experience rather than a fleeting beach stop.

Named after a Dalmatian term for the lingering summer heat, Zhega emphasizes natural materials, linen textures and a neutral palette. Chef Sebastian Scholten provides a Mediterranean menu featuring fresh seasonal ingredients, brunch options and vegetarian dishes, while signature cocktails and mocktails are crafted to complement the seaside setting. The club is positioned as a sophisticated alternative to louder beach clubs, offering a relaxed yet refined atmosphere for breakfast, lunch, cocktails or evening gatherings.

Zhega aims to become a central summer destination on the Adriatic, attracting both resort guests and international visitors who value sunset photography, thoughtful gastronomy and a sustained sense of Mediterranean leisure.
