Vestibule Partners LLC was exclusive buy-side M&A adviser to the Looping Group in the acquisition process of Aquacolors

Vestibule Partners LLC, a member of Pandion Partners S.L. was exclusive buy-side M&A adviser to the Looping Group (regional leisure parks) in the acquisition process of Aquacolors, one of the largest aquatic parks in Croatia and leading water parks in Southern Europe.



Located in Poreč, Istria, one of the top touristic European destinations, Aquacolors welcomes 170 thousand visitors per year and becomes one of Looping’s flagships aquatic parks.

The Studénka family has built, developed, and operated Aquacolors since it first opened to the public in 2015, will be fully exiting the business, while Mira Radisic, current park director, will remain and continue managing Aquacolors.

Aquacolors is Looping’s 18th park and the group’s second water park in Croatia following the acquisition of Istralandia in March 2022. This acquisition enables Looping to build a strong Croatian platform with Aquacolors and Istralandia jointly representing more than 350 thousand visitors per year through two complementary product positionings.

Additionally, the acquisition diversifies Looping’s geographical footprint to the South of Europe and strengthens its portfolio of outdoor aquatic parks, in-line with the group’s strategy. With the integration of Aquacolors, Looping expects to attract over 6.2 million visitors in 2023.

Special thanks to our partner - Marko Maurović, CFA, from our partner company Audax Partners, to Mr. João Pedro Rodrigues dos Santos from CFI Portugal & Mr. Tõnis Kons from Keystone, to Mr. Ronald Korotaj, Ms. Tena Lovrić and  Mr. Simon Radovčić from Odvjetnički ured Korotaj Law Office Korotaj, to legal teams from Divjak Topić Bahtijarević & Krka Law Firm, De Pardieu Brocas Maffei, financial & tax advisors team from Mazars.
