“Where Sunsets Paint Dreams and the Sea Sings Stories”
This year, we invite you to the mesmerizing landscape of Faralya on the Likya Trail, also known as the “Land of Light,” where the sun and moon never wane, and the nights are illuminated by a tapestry of stars. Nestled within the lush vegetation of thyme, rosemary, and pine forests, this pristine stretch of nature spans 40 square kilometers between Kabak Bay and Butterfly Valley. Faralya is where green meets blue, mountains embrace waves, and ancient Roman and Lycian remnants adorn the cliffs that plunge into the naturally vibrant, colorful rocky coves. Welcome to Rocas Roja!

October is an amazing time to be at the Turkish Riviera! Expect amazing day-time temperatures around 25°C, and a comfortably warm sea, around 23 °C. At night time, the temperatures may drop to 14/10°C — great if you’re dancing, but make sure you pack sweater/polartec/thermal underwear for resting/sleep. The chance of rain is quite low (85% sunny days on average), but even if it rains the sun should be back up rather quick
We offer a music focused but also a balanced format; where during the first few days more wellness, workshops, adventure activities are offered (and the music will end around 12-1am), and from Friday onwards we switch to an all-day music oriented program with longer playtimes. Please note that it’s not allowed to play your own music within the facility.
Breakfast and dinner, which will be served buffet-style, are already included in on-site accommodations. We will cover different tastes ranging from vegan food to meat-based dishes. There is also an à la carte restaurant, in case you miss meal times or want to eat something else. The bar will be serving yummy cocktails, smoothies and beer.
