Consent
At the ISTA Festival, we create a culture of mutual respect that celebrates our passions, boundaries, and rhythms. During the festival, in any meeting of an intimate nature, you are asked to communicate your desires and boundaries verbally and clearly. Move together only in the directions to which all who participate in the interaction have found their enthusiastic consent.Respond with gratitude when another person says "no", they are taking care of themselves and you. No further explanation is needed. "No" or "no, thank you" can be a complete sentence.Silence, the word "maybe", or any other answer that is not a 'hell yes' should be treated as a "no".

The hotel offers a range of cozy, air-conditioned rooms - perfect for couples, or small groups. You can choose between double rooms or shared rooms, depending on your preference. For those who love nature, a designated camping area right by the sea is also available.
