Hi friend,
with love,

Elidium team
We found a place we truly love and want to share with you. Bonjuk Bay feels open and calm, somehow existing right between worlds — whether you’re coming from the West or the East. We’re inviting you to join us there for a slow gathering by the sea, with music gently holding days together. If this resonates, we’d be very happy to see you there 6 – 11 May 2026.
Seems like the phase of festivals as pure escape is behind us.
Life has settled into a new rhythm: work, distance from home, and everyday responsibilities. And more than ever, we look for moments to rest, celebrate, laugh, and exchange ideas.

Three meals a day are included, served buffet-style with vegan and vegetarian options, and enjoyed together at long tables. An à la carte kitchen and bars are open throughout the day, offering light bites, cocktails, fresh juices, coffee, tea, and homemade drinks. Food is included in the accommodation cost.
Gastronomy
We believe in simple, healthy food made from fresh ingredients, mostly sourced from the garden and nearby farmers. The kitchen uses eggs from free-range chickens, milk from grass-fed cows, and fruits and vegetables from local producers, focusing on natural, unprocessed food.

WHO
No prior festival or coliving experience is needed — just openness and curiosity. We’re here to feel at home and strengthen friendships.
Founders, creatives, builders, parents, partners — people living between countries, projects, and identities. The audience is international and mixed: friends and friends-of-friends from Europe, post-Soviet countries, the US, and beyond. Many work remotely, build businesses, create art, or grow communities while living between places.
