The light hits you first. The moment you step inside, a roughly 45-square-metre LED wall floods the entire room with a spectrum of colour that takes your breath away — deep blue, blazing violet, flashing white, all synced to the beat. Add the bass settling into your chest, and ahead of you a ten-metre bar where precisely mixed drinks slide across the counter. That is how an evening at uppereast begins — the only nightclub in the superyacht marina of Port Adriano.
Concept
What shines here has a story. Uppereast traces back to one of Hamburg's most celebrated clubs — the original at east Hotel Hamburg. The German group east (east cosmos), which also runs the sister restaurant coast by east, has been running the club in Port Adriano since 2016: the sound system, the light installation, the club DNA — all transferred intact. Nothing was reinvented; the club was relocated as-is into the superyacht marina designed by star designer Philippe Starck. The result is a nightclub address with genuine character in a marina that already writes its own design history.
Atmosphere
Intimate, yet electric — that is how guests who know uppereast describe it, and it fits. The dance floor is around 32 square metres: no ballroom, but a space that practically demands density and movement. Leather lounge furniture along the walls invites you to linger before you make your way to the centre. The true signature is the LED ceiling: individually programmable in an almost infinite range of colour and effect combinations, it turns the club into a living light installation that breathes alongside the evening. Guests speak of “beautiful décor” and “a truly beautiful club with great music and presentation” — words that confirm what you sense the moment you walk in.
The club holds up to around 250 people. On sold-out high-season nights the dance floor can feel tight — arriving earlier means more room to move.
Programme & Music
International DJs take the decks; regular live shows round out the programme in summer. No resident names or officially communicated genre profiles exist — the club announces its programme situationally. For what is on on a specific night, the event listing on this page is your best source. The entire uppereast is also bookable for private occasions: birthdays, corporate incentives, exclusive gatherings — all arranged through the coast by east team.
For Whom & What Occasions
The crowd is international, strongly German-influenced, and knows this territory: people come to Port Adriano because they belong here — by superyacht or at the five-star adults-only hotel Pure Salt next door. Uppereast is the natural continuation of an evening that started with dinner at coast by east. As the only nightclub at the location, there is no alternative for those seeking this specific marina atmosphere. If you prefer open, unbound nightlife with a broad programme, nearby Santa Ponsa — barely ten minutes away — offers far more variety.
Insider Tip
The tight connection with coast by east is no coincidence — an evening that flows seamlessly from dinner into the club works best here, because both venues are directly adjacent and belong to the same group. Anyone planning a full private booking should enquire early: with a capacity of around 250, the club fills up fast on popular summer evenings.
