Between the Aegean Sea, the Crete sun, and uninhibited sensuality, Pleasure Bay has established itself in just a few years as the must-attend event on the international BDSM and fetish scene. Born from a shared dream during lockdowns, this unique event combines bold eroticism, elegance, and a festive atmosphere in a paradisiacal setting.

From October 23 to 28, 2025, the experience returns in an XXL version, with more days, more activities, and always the promise of a space of total freedom, pleasure, and extraordinary encounters.

Dive into the heart of this place where fantasies, luxury, and hedonism meet.

The must-visit fetish and BDSM destination!

“At first, it was the desire to find a place where one could live out their fantasies—not just for a few hours, but for several days! And if, on top of that, the weather was nice, with a pool, by the sea, and good food, well, that wouldn’t be so bad...”

“During the Covid period, we were all trapped between four walls, and the need for a refuge grew stronger and stronger! The hotel itself was a real stroke of luck: located in a private bay, nestled in the beautiful landscape of Crete, and just far enough away to leave your worries behind.”

That’s how MARQUIS magazine and its partner SubrosaDictum launched the first Pleasure Bay in 2022.

One year later, Pleasure Bay attracted even more visitors. Many returned, and in 2024 – with perfect weather this time – about 170 people took part.
“We learned the lesson: the Greek gods were jealous of our party, so we have to invite them every year!” jokes Andreas from MARQUIS magazine.

“What I always find amazing is that people come from all over the world to party with us: from the USA, China, Dubai, Japan, France, Scandinavia, Hungary, Romania, Poland, and of course Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom! We have a fantastic international audience and incredible energy. Many already know each other, and even as a newcomer, you quickly make friends.”

“Our guests want to party, enjoy themselves, have fun! Anyone who shares this mindset is welcome! And the play area is always well attended!” adds Christian from SubrosaDictum.

In 2025, Pleasure Bay will take place from October 24 to 27 in Crete.
But this year, for the first time, an XXL version is offered. What does that mean?

“We listened to our guests and managed to convince the hotel to grant us two extra days. This allows for a relaxed arrival at the hotel and a gentle immersion into the fantasy world of Pleasure Bay, three full days of partying, and then a quieter day to come down. During these extra days, the hotel is exclusively reserved for Pleasure Bay guests. Participants can already put on their special outfits and, if needed, get into their roles for the weekend,” explains Christian.

In addition to the parties, there are interesting workshops, poolside activities (such as vacuum beds or Zorb balls), and renowned photographers present to stage and capture your holiday memories, if you wish.

“We still have some ideas in mind, but we will only reveal them once we are 100% sure. The logistics aren’t simple since it’s an island, but Pleasure Bay is a magical place and we don’t want to disappoint our guests!” says Christian.

“What makes us especially happy is the high return rate! It’s incredible that more than two-thirds of participants book again! Some even send us very kind messages when they can’t come due to scheduling conflicts. That really touches us! This year, we will probably be fully booked for the first time. Pre-sales have been intense. We can only recommend booking as soon as possible because at this point, we can no longer guarantee availability.”

And finally, a word about the Pleasure Bay setting:
The hotel is unique: built on a mountainside, it looks like a huge ship stranded in a private bay on the wild eastern coast of Crete.
The bay offers warm, crystal-clear water—a true paradise for divers!

The hotel has around 150 rooms, almost all with sea views. The large bar area, spacious pool zone, and the beach, ranging from fine pebbles to sand, make Pleasure Bay a full-fledged experience.

The stay is offered on a half-board basis, including a late buffet breakfast—perfect for late risers—with Greek, European, and British options. In the evening, there’s the famous legendary barbecue or a 5-course à la carte menu, accompanied by a large salad and dessert buffet.

“Physical well-being is essential. It’s the foundation for everything else! The bar is now phenomenally stocked: excellent cocktails, whiskies, wines, and beers—everything your heart desires! And our DJs ensure a continuous atmosphere. Afternoons by the pool, then evenings at the parties, the crowd gets exactly what they want!” enthuses Christian.

He and the SubrosaDictum team play a vital role in making Pleasure Bay happen.

“I couldn’t have dreamed of a better partner for Pleasure Bay—my crazy idea—than Christian! And in the meantime, we’ve become true friends. And that’s the best thing about Pleasure Bay: you meet so many wonderful people and friendships form at an incredible speed! It’s a real miracle!”

Pleasure Bay will be held from October 23 to 28 (XXL version) or from October 24 to 27 (regular version).
