Scenic view of Isola dei Gabbiani, Porto Pollo

Porto Pollo, Sardinia

The Maldives of Europe

September 30 – October 4, 2026

Can you imagine an acro-vacation on beaches with the clearest water in Europe?

EYA was born from a shared love for Porto Pollo and its irresistible vibe, for acroyoga, and for the joy of being together. The sun, the wind, the wild scent of helichrysum, crazy dancing under the stars, sunsets over Valle della Luna β€” this magical corner of Sardinia stole our hearts. And so we dreamed of sharing it with the acro community.

Now in its second edition β€” international from day one β€” EYA Sardinia Acro Fest brings together acrobats from all over the world for five unforgettable days of practice, connection, and beach life. A summer that never ends.

That dream? It's real. And you're invited.

Why EYA?

In Sardinian, Eya means Yes

A positive affirmation. An agreement without hesitation. A full-hearted embrace of what comes next.

✨  New this year β€” an extra day to spend together! 5 days full of acro, sun & connection

So, are you ready to say YES to your acro-vacation?

The Location

Porto Pollo, Sardinia

An inlet of turquoise water and fine white sand, wrapped in Mediterranean scrub. The strip of land connecting the mainland to Isola dei Gabbiani is a world apart β€” a gathering place for free spirits, surfers, and adventurers from around the globe.

Wooden kiosks with Italian aperitivi. Live music and barefoot dancing under the stars. Golden dunes lit by unforgettable sunsets. Windsurfing, kitesurfing, and the pure thrill of sailing. A hippie-spirited atmosphere where summer never seems to end β€” and now, all of this shared with your acroyogi friends.

🀸 Our Training Space

Our training area sits right at the heart of Porto Pollo β€” a dedicated space set up on the football field of "Casa Bear", just a few steps from the windsurfing beach.

We've transformed it into a fully equipped acroyoga space: over 400 tatami, crash mats and spotting belts to train safely and comfortably. A shaded structure will be set up to provide protection from direct sunlight and water dispensers will always be available on-site for free, along with clean, well-maintained bathrooms β€” because we know the little things make a big difference.

Practice, relax, and dive into the crystal-clear sea in a matter of moments!

Whatever the weather, we've got you covered: In case of rain or strong winds, we'll move our sessions indoors to a sports hall in nearby Palau town.

Where You'll Stay

Sleep steps from the beach

While the two main beaches remain a pristine natural reserve, the residential areas are "Il Borgo" (the heart of Porto Pollo) and "Barrabisa".

Finding a place here during the windsurf season is tough. To make it easy, we have reserved two different types of accommodation at exclusive EYA rates for the first 70 full festival tickets. All current options are located in "Il Borgo", within walking distance to the training space and the beach. The earlier you register, the more choices you'll have!

Wake up, walk to acro, walk to the beach β€” everything is at your doorstep.

First Edition

Best Reviews

The schedule was GREAT, I loved the high number of workshops and the variety!!! The location is amazing and the vibe was totally matching it.

The location was perfect for embracing the spirit of AcroYoga. The teachers were fantastic, blending technique and trust in a rejuvenating atmosphere. I'm back home with a grateful heart, new friends, and a great desire to keep practicing!

Got a few extra summer days (and lots of Acro!!) at this great location with awesome people.

I really enjoyed the festival and especially the area is stunning, what a beautiful spot on earth! Hope to be part of the team one more edition.

Participating in this festival was a truly wonderful experience! I learned so many new tricks and had the chance to meet marvelous people from all over, joined by the same passion.

It was my first festival and you managed to make me love it!

I love telling the story of how I quit my corporate job to give myself the courage to change. I sold my house, bought a van, and took a leap of faith β€” giving myself time to explore new paths and build a new self. That's how I became an Acrofusion teacher, a yoga teacher, a Face Yoga expert, and a Thai Yoga Massage therapist. With my @acroyogaontheroad duo, I started creating my own artisanal activewear collection β€” designed for acro, of course! And now, I'm here making the dream of a Sardinian acro festival come to life.

Carola Frantini

@caro.astau

How to spot me? I'll be the one with Akira, the cutest adventure companion with white paws. My movement journey started with dance as a little girl and never stopped β€” in every sense of the word. I always knew life in Brianza was too small for me, so I made it out and lived in five different countries. Those years abroad introduced me to the disciplines that changed my life. Today I'm a certified Ashtanga Yoga and Acroyoga teacher, based in Sardinia, where this dream has finally become reality.

Say Yes to your acro-vacation.
