What should I know before coming to Opatija?
SSD Opatija takes place in the town of Opatija, one of the pearls of the Adriatic sea and a remarkable seaside resort.
The main Festival venue is one of the biggest congress centers in Croatia, Gervais Center. Exact list of other venues you can find HERE.
In 2023 our dates for Summer Sensual Days Opatija are from 1st to 4th of June.
Summer Sensual Days, Opatija is an international festival of bachata and kizomba that hosts dancers from all over the world. Dancers come to learn, socialize and immerse themselves in numerous dancing activities. If you are a dancer with at least the most basic skills of dancing either bachata or kizomba you will find the festival an amazing experience.
If you have not yet learned the basic steps, we recommend taking a basic 2-month course before coming to the festival so you can make the best of it.

We organise free transfers from Opatija to Rovinj on Monday 5th for all the people who have Opatija pass and Rovinj pass (party pass or workshop pass).
Of course, you do not need a dance partner to be part of the festival.
You will have plenty of opportunities to dance since partners are constantly switched during workshops and "everyone dances with everyone" during parties.
Opatija is a cozy and classy event, which we like to call "a royal feel event with a soul", while Rovinj is a crazy, wild event and has a concept of "complete summer holidays".
Opatija is a smaller event, with a more intimate vibe and more exclusive venues, and Rovinj is a huge event (for example, there are 5 dance floors during night parties, see them HERE) with a lot of people.
Opatija lasts for 4 days. Rovinj lasts for a week (although you can also stay at the Croatian Summer Salsa Festival, which is even one more week).
This is briefly the difference, but the best way is to experience it for yourself :)
We are happy to hear that you want to join us for your first time! We are sure it will not be the last time ;)
