The AB International Congress returns for its 3rd edition, and for 2027 the Sensual Madness team moves the congress to the Catalan coast. It runs from Friday 26th to Monday 29th March 2027 at the Hotel Don Angel in Santa Susanna, a beachside resort hotel about an hour north of Barcelona where workshops, socials, shows and parties all happen under one roof. The 2027 programme leans hard into social dancing, with 11 hours of daytime socials, a neon party, themed nights and a returning Urban Room, plus airport and inter hotel shuttles across the weekend. Competitions include the AB Sensual World Cup and a Jack & Jill amateur tournament. Early bird passes start at €105, and you can add promo code BACHATALOVESME for an extra discount.

What sets this one apart is the format: an all in one hotel congress that deliberately trims shows in favour of more floor time, and last edition drew a warm, family style crowd. Two things worth knowing before you book. The venue sits in Santa Susanna, roughly 60 km up the coast from Barcelona city, so factor in the transfer or lean on the organiser shuttles. Reviewers from the last edition also noted that shows and shuttles occasionally ran behind schedule. The full lineup is still being announced, with a Sunday surprise promised.
The BLM Take

Plan Your Trip

Getting there: The nearest major airport is Barcelona El Prat (BCN), around 60 km south of the venue. Santa Susanna has its own Rodalies R1 train station on the coastal line from Barcelona, and the organiser runs airport and city shuttles from Friday through Monday, with live tracked transport between hotels.
Staying: This is an all in one event at the Hotel Don Angel, so accommodation, workshops, socials and parties share the same venue. Ticket and hotel packages are available through the organiser. Check the official Instagram @absensualmadness for room options and group deals.
