introduction to Music festival in Turkey, SunSplash Antalya
Swap your muddy festival wellies for your sparkling flip flops and join us for a week-long sunny party on Turkey's stunning Mediterranean coast!
SunSplash Antalya is a boutique, luxury festival that brings together some of the UK's and Turkey’s most influential DJs and artists to provide the ultimate musical accompaniment to a week of relaxing beach days, sunset beach parties and late night club sessions. Add to this the spectacular surroundings of the Hillside Su, Turkey's multi award winning design hotel with a blue flag awarded beach front, world class spa, alternative therapies, yoga, contemporary cuisine, and you have the perfect elements in place for a healthy, luxurious holiday with inspirational music to caress your soul. This unique festival is limited to just 500 people and promises to be the funkiest, most stylish party on the Mediterranean in 2009. A refined alternative to Ibiza.
SunSplash Antalya is a celebration of inspiring music, jazz, funk, club classics, the deepest international beats and good time party music with a soulful twist. Don't miss this unique opportunity to hear world-class deejays playing to a discerning group of 500 music lovers amidst incredible beach-front surroundings. Join us for the funkiest Mediterranean party of 2009.
Featuring amongst others; Jamie Lidell – Live, Gilles Peterson – BBA Worldwide, Sir Norman Jay - Good Times Sound System, Phil Asher - Restless Soul, Baba Zula - Live with 8 Piece band and Belly Dancers, DJ Cliffy - Batmacumba / Future World Funk and more.
Aside from the music, there are also amazing activities and workshops included in the package fee; yoga twice a day, music workshops from Jamie Lidell and Baba Zula, who explore middle eastern dance and rhythms, capaoeira, samba classes, cooking and more... The festival is set in Antalya, the capital city of Antalya province, often referred to as the Turkish Riviera. The city is blessed with a beautifully mild Mediterranean climate and a breathtaking coastline that is backed up by the spectacular Taurus mountains. It is a natural setting reminiscent perhaps of Rio De Janeiro, whilst the palm fringed, beach side boulevards also make it feel like Turkey's answer to Miami.
Known by ancient Greeks as Pamphylia, "land of tribes", the province of Antalya boasts some 300 days of sunshine a year, 630km of shoreline liberally scattered with ancient cities, amphi theatres, historic harbours, Lycian tombs, stunning beaches, waterfalls, canyons, secluded coves and lush forests, all of which are easily accessible from the city.
The price includes: Luxury accommodation at the super chic Hillside Su Hotel, Airport shuttle service in Antalya, Full 5 star buffet breakfast, Evening meals at the superb "Red" restaurant,and the festival event itself; all parties, live performances and special workshops such as yoga, belly dancing, capoeira etc.
Complimentary facilities at the hotel also include; indoor pool, spa, large modern gym, steam room, sauna etc.

how this holiday makes a difference
|
We are constantly exploring ways to make this festival and its impact as sustainable and responsible as possible.
Community The hotel is locally owned and managed; it is an innovative, independent venture that is not part of an international chain. It trains local employees to the best international standards, and staff are paid well above average wages and have contracts of employment with agreed conditions and healthcare benefits. The hotel has a separate organic buffet section serving certified organic food purchased from local farms. We hope to benefit local businesses, and local guides, by organizing a series of low impact activities like cable skiing – avoiding use of speedboats, trekking, mountain biking and sea kayaking. Environment Rubbish is first separated then sent for recycling. Sheets and towels are washed only when necessary, signs in the rooms inform guest not to change towels everyday if there is no need to; saving considerable water and energy as a result. The festival: Sunsplash is offering discounts for those who travel by land and train as opposed to air. Festival programs will be printed on recycled paper. The program will include a Responsible Travel Code of Conduct, informing guests on how they can reduce their impact on the environment and local community. We are actively seeking suitable conservation organizations / charities whom we can support by donating a percentage of any profits from the festival. The number of people attending is limited to 500 people only; smaller group, less impact. Not only this, but the crowd profile, led by the distinctive music policy are responsible, musically and culturally discerning individuals. This is not a mass tourism event and does not cater for loud, badly behaved undesirables. Our attendees by the very nature of their attraction to this event are expected to be conscious of responsible tourism and good conduct. At the end of the festival, all guests will take part in a thorough beach cleaning program. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
