Croatia - Sibenik hosts a huge Salsa Festival "Salsa Beach Splash" every July.
It was in Solaris Beach Resort last year. Which is one of the best options for accommodation in Sibenik. It is a very big complex and it has too many alternatives for different budgets from tent camping to bungalows to 3 and 4 star hotels. We stayed one of the hotels called Hotel Ivan for 5 days.
Beach Parties
You will see a lovely beach just in front of the Hotel Ivan and the decoration is very interesting. There is a giant Pirate Ship on the beach, which has a bar in it. Also during Salsa festival week, people are dancing on the stage in front of this Pirate Ship. You can have drinks, dance, get wet and tired then jump into the cool water to be refreshed! It is the best Salsa festival I've ever attended because of this stage on the beach. Usually salsa parties are located in the closed rooms of the hotels. Therefore such an open-air party is very nice! In the video you will see this dancing area on the beach and I'm sure you'll like it:)

Program of the Day
This festival is a well orginized one and we believe that one of the best in the world. As I told you there are beach parties all day long, It continues in the hotel at nights and dancers turn back to beach at the sunrise. Especially dancing at the sunrise on the beach with the all wonderful colors in the sky was amazing! So Romantic! <3

Salsa Concert in Sibenik City Center
In one of the days the Festival Team organizes a Salsa concert in the Sibenik city center. Therefore, you can come to the center before the concert, have dinner and discover the old town of Sibenik. The cathedral of St. James (Katedrala Svetog Jakova)is one of the most beautiful buildings in the town. This cathedral is next to sea side, very easy to reach and after visiting here you can take a walk on sea side road. There are also some nice Dalmatian restaurants to try their local food. The Salsa party is just next to St James in a lovely atmosphere!

Amazing Pool Party on Sunday
In the last day of the event (which is the best!) there is a pool party on the beach! Yeahh you can swim in pool or sea they are just next to each other. The day starts with Salsa and Bachata at 12 p.m. and after some dance and having couple of drinks, party turnes into a crazy clubber party and continues until 8 p.m. or so :) I tell you this is an event you shouldn't miss! So fun! :)

Lunches and Dinners During The Festival
Let's talk about the meals in Solaris Resort for a while. There is a nice restaurant in the hotel Ivan but just 1 day we had our dinner in the hotel. Other days we discovered some other nice restaurants in the Solaris Resort and we preferred the ones near seaside. I believe it is the best thing of staying in a resort complex beacuse you have freedom and you have so many options for swimming, having dinner, cafes&bars etc...
Sightseeing Tour- Krka National Park
If you are staying in Croatia-Sibenik don't forget to visit Krka National Park. It is just 20 min away from Sibenik You will admire the nature and you will have chance to swim in the refreshing water of the Krka waterfalls. Visit my Krka post for detailed info.
