WHAT CROATIA ZOUK MARATHON IS
CZM is a unique mix of Zouk marathon, holiday, and shared adventure by the sea.
Five days of dancing, nature, music, connection, and freedom — with one of the strongest DJ lineups we ever had, artists who are fully part of the experience, and a community atmosphere people remember long after the event ends.
No workshops. No pressure. No fixed rhythm.
Just dance, sea, sunsets, and real connection.
Beach parties, boat trips, sunsets, community and 60+ hours dancing.
World class DJs, relaxed artists, and music shaping the whole experience.
Dance floor, beach, accommodation, food, and sea views just steps away.
THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
The sea is already sparkling outside. Someone is drinking coffee nearby. Music is playing in the distance.
A few minutes later, you are already dancing.
Hours later, you might suddenly find yourself jumping from a party boat into the sea, dancing barefoot at sunset, swimming below waterfalls, sitting at the beach bar with new friends, or watching dolphins appear around the boats while everyone suddenly goes quiet for a moment.
Days stop feeling structured. People stop feeling like strangers.
You dance. You swim. You talk for hours. You stay awake too long. You laugh a lot.
And somewhere along the way, without really noticing when it happened, you start feeling part of something.
OUR STORY
Built together by Vladka & Guido — two longtime friends who wanted to create the kind of event they themselves were missing.
GUIDO
Life took us in different directions and we lost touch for quite a while.
Years later, we unexpectedly met again at a festival in Croatia. I came to visit her in Tisno, and we spent days dancing on the terrace, exploring islands, waterfalls, and the surrounding nature.
At some point, Vladka told me something very simple:
“Building this hotel takes away all my time, I don’t have time to travel to Zouk events anymore… so if I want to dance, I have to bring Zouk here. Will you help me?”
I simply said: “Yes, sure!”
That moment became the beginning of Croatia Zouk Marathon.
We didn’t want to create just another event.
We wanted something new, something that combined everything we loved most: dance, nature, freedom, music, friendship, and real connection.
A marathon without workshops.
A holiday without pressure.
An experience where artists and participants truly share the space and become part of the same experience together — sharing time, conversations, meals, and far more dances than people are used to from most festivals.
And somehow, this crazy idea became real.
VLADKA
On paper, everything looked perfect.
But something inside me was missing.
Then one evening, almost by accident, I went to a Zouk social again after many years.
And suddenly it all became clear:
once a dancer, always a dancer.
Returning to dance felt like returning to myself.
With the encouragement of friends — and especially Guido, who first introduced me to Zouk many years earlier — the idea slowly started growing.
I told him:
“If I want to dance, I need to bring Zouk to Tisno. Will you help me?”
He said yes.
Together we created the first edition of Croatia Zouk Marathon.
Not because it was easy.
But because it felt deeply right.
THIS IS NOT JUST A DANCE EVENT
It’s a place where people dance, disconnect from routine, reconnect with themselves and others, and create memories that stay long after the event ends.

EXPERIENCE DANCE, NATURE & FREEDOM LIKE NOWHERE ELSE
An intimate dance escape by the sea, where sunsets meet music and new and familiar faces
come together.
No workshops. No schedules. No pressure.
Wake up when you want. Dance when you feel it. Eat anytime between 9 AM and midnight. Let
each day unfold naturally.
Here, artists and participants share the same space — dancing, connecting, and experiencing it
all together. You’ll share meals, explore, and create real connections beyond the dance floor.
SMALL GROUP. PERSONAL VIBE.
REAL CONNECTION
Swim under waterfalls.
Spot wild dolphins.
Take boats to hidden islands.
Dance barefoot, day and night, with the sea right next to you.
With flexible accommodation options and all-inclusive food and water, everything is taken care
of — so you can fully relax and enjoy.
This is not just a dance event.
It’s a shared journey. A breath of freedom. A place to reconnect.
WHAT IS CZM ACTUALLY?
CZM is a unique mix between a dance marathon, a holiday, and a shared adventure —
something that doesn’t fully fit into one category.
You get the energy and continuous flow of a marathon: dancing day and night, world-
class DJs, and a strong collective rhythm that keeps everything alive.
At the same time, it feels like a holiday: rest, sea, nature, sleep when you want, eat when
you want, and space to fully unwind.
But it also goes beyond both.
It’s about shared experiences in nature — exploring islands, swimming in hidden spots,
discovering waterfalls, sailing, and spending real time together outside of the dance
floor. Connection doesn’t stop when the music pauses — it continues throughout the
whole experience.
No pressure.
No fixed schedule.
Just rhythm, freedom, nature, and connection.
OUR STORY
This event started with a personal moment.
After years away from dancing, something felt missing — even though everything on the
outside seemed right. Then, almost by accident, one Zouk party changed everything. It
brought back that feeling you can’t replace.
At first… there was a lot of complaining (and yes, some dramatic moments).
Luckily, the Prague Zouk community had a simple solution:
“We love you — but please do something about it so we don’t have to listen to this
anymore.”
So we did.
That’s when Guido joined, and the idea became a shared vision. With the support of
friends (who actually showed up!), we created the first edition — imperfect, intense, and
completely real.
Alongside the dance, we also wanted to share something we fell in love with: the wild
beauty of Croatia — its islands, waterfalls, and that feeling of freedom you don’t find
everywhere.
So we brought it all together.
Dance. Nature. Community. Freedom.
And created a space where you don’t just attend — you belong.
