Crete will once again become the epicentre of the international fetish and BDSM scene in October: From 22 to 26 October 2026 (or until 27 October in the XXL version), Pleasure Bay takes place for the fifth time – and once more promises an unforgettable sensory fireworks display between turquoise seas, sun-drenched privacy and a community like no other.

Between dreamlike beaches, a postcard-perfect sea view and catering that leaves you salivating, Pleasure Bay transforms the kinky scene into a true whirlwind of the senses. Around 200 like-minded people from all over the world – from Japan via Dubai and the USA to Germany, Austria and Scandinavia – celebrate, play and enjoy five days in an exclusive bubble. The 4-star Istron Bay Hotel near Istro on Crete is reserved entirely for the guests for the duration of the event: private beach, seawater pool, beach restaurant and absolute discretion included. No one is photographed who has not explicitly given their consent – and it is precisely this protected atmosphere that makes the special energy palpable in every image.

Age, appearance, gender or experience play no role here. Newcomers quickly find connection if they wish, and the veterans of the scene enjoy together with everyone else a kind of fun that exists nowhere else on earth. “People love each other and love you when you are part of this great community,” the current press release states – and that is exactly what you feel: an inclusive, open and respectful atmosphere in which spectacle, pleasure and staging take centre stage.

During the day there are workshops on bondage, BDSM and more, music by the pool or beach, vacuum-bed sessions, zorb balls and optional glamour photo shoots. In the evenings it gets really hot: Greek BBQ at the Meltemi beach restaurant, steamy shows (including Mira Winchester, Jasmine James, Miss Fetilicious, Lola Noir, Aenn Alien and Frau Dr.), electrifying DJ sets and the legendary Pleasure Bay fireworks under the starry sky. On the final evening, “The Last Supper” once again invites everyone to a shared table and intimate encounters.

The dress code is part of the magic: vinyl, leather, latex, frivolously stylish evening wear, creative kinky looks and BDSM accessories are expressly welcome. Bare skin and leather feel just as at home as latex – the main thing is that you feel sexy and stylish. Only at mealtimes does the hygiene rule apply: please keep genitals and buttocks covered.

Anyone who wants to be there should hurry: a few remaining tickets are still available before it once again says “SOLD OUT!”. You can book either the classic weekend (Friday to Monday) or the XXL experience (Thursday to Tuesday) – both including half board in a double room with sea view. All information and tickets at www.pleasure-bay.com.

Pleasure Bay is more than an event – it is five days of pure freedom, pleasure and community in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Anyone who has once felt the energy knows: being there is everything.
