The story

Ecstatic Dance Festival Cyprus in Paphos

A six-day ecstatic dance retreat at Val's Place near the sea in Gialia, Paphos district, combining free-movement dance sessions, international workshops, live music and sound healing with on-site vegan and vegetarian meals. Structured as a single shared programme rather than a lineup of separate acts, it runs each autumn with an optional public pre-party the evening before the main event begins.

Val's Place, a retreat venue near the sea in Gialia, in Cyprus's Paphos district, hosts a six-day ecstatic dance gathering each autumn built around a single shared programme rather than parallel stages or ticketed individual acts.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The retreat format is the distinguishing feature: a single shared programme across six days rather than parallel stages or standalone ticketed acts, with participants staying, eating and dancing together on-site rather than commuting in for individual sessions

02

The mystery stays covered

Ecstatic dance itself, free movement to live or curated music without fixed steps, partners or spoken instruction, sets the event apart from conventional music festivals or dance classes

03

The city starts moving

The coastal, garden-like setting at Val's Place, with the sea a short walk away, reinforces the wellness-retreat character rather than a typical festival-ground atmosphere
