SB Spain World Congress returns to Benidorm from Thursday 18th to Monday 22nd February 2027 with its Fifty Shades of Grey Edition, held entirely at the Gran Hotel Bali on the Costa Blanca. The programme is split evenly between bachata and salsa, with masterclasses, bootcamps, shows, nightly socials and the SB World Bachata & Salsa Championship. On the bachata side, Melvin y Gatica, Ataca, Luis y Andrea, Magda Liuzza, David e Inés and Valeria Bartolini lead a deep Spanish roster, while Fernando Sosa y Tatiana Bonaguro, Tropical Gem, Yuri Colucci and Full Project head the salsa floor. Passes are sold through La Salsa del Baile from 100 €, and the November offer adds a free Full Project masterclass to every Full Pass. Add code BACHATALOVESME at checkout for an extra discount.

SB Spain is one of the biggest mixed congresses in Spain, so expect a large social crowd and two styles sharing one resort hotel rather than a pure bachata weekend. The bachata lineup is now announced, with more names promised, and leans on strong Spanish couples, with the Melvin y Gatica special class as the standout extra. Rooms are not included in any pass, so book the venue hotel package early if you want to sleep steps from the floors. Full Pass buyers in November also get the Full Project masterclass for free.
