We have created an all-inclusive, comfortable experience just for you. Classes, parties, meals, and accommodation – All in the same spot, so you won’t need to rush. With a classy environment and the friendliest people around, we know you’ll enjoy the Grande Hotel Thermas.
Grand Hotel Thermas is situated in São Pedro do Sul since 1919, although renovated, it still keeps the same charm from the past while embracing the comforts of the current times.
Regular Rooms
There are 3 types of regular rooms that you can choose from
All the rooms have a private bathroom, with free toiletries and towels.
Since we’ve got varying renovation statuses, we’ll be sorting them out based on when people signed up. So, whoever registered first will get first dibs on their room. That way, we’re making sure it’s fair for everyone.
Double: one double bed or two single beds.
Triple: two single beds + sofa converting to a double bed (we will use it only for 1 person) or a double bed + sofa converting to a double bed (we will use it only for 1 person)
Quadruple: 2 single beds + 1 double bed
Depending on the room you choose, you will pay a different price for the Full Pass. You do not need to deal with the hotel to book your swinging vacations, we will do that job for you!

Sharing rooms
- We will ask for your preferences in our registration form. We will try our best to pair you with your friends and have your preferences into consideration. The sooner you sign up, the better chances are to attend the majority of your preferences.
- If you are a couple: Sign up as bedmates for a Double Room or a Premium Room. If you sign up for Premium, it’s certain you’ll get a double room just for the two of you. There are some regular rooms for couples, but they will be assigned by order of registration.
- If you’re coming with 1 friend: Check the Double Room or Premium Room. Let us know in the form if you want twin beds or if you are ok with sharing a double bed.
- If you’re coming with 2 friends: A Triple Room is the best for you. Let us know in the form if 2 of you can share a double bed or if you all want separate beds.
- If you are part of a Group of 4 people: Sign up for a Quadruple Room, get priority in the waiting list for classes and a nice discount.
- If you’re coming alone or don’t have a roommate yet: Decide if you want to share with 1 or 2 people, so you can sign up for a Double or Triple Room. By default, we pair participants with people of the same gender. If this is indifferent to you, you can select that option in the registration form and get more chances to find a place at the festival.
- For double and triple rooms: We will sort the rooms based on your configuration preferences first (twin beds or double beds). Bedmates are more likely to have a spot.
- Our standard rooms (double, triple and quadruple) have different styles of decoration but they all provide everything you need for comfy resting. We will distribute the most recent rooms to the first people signing up.
- It is only mandatory to have roommates on your sign up form if you want a Premium Room or a Quadruple Room.
- Keep in mind that your roommate(s) doesn’t need to be your partner for classes.
- We do not have single rooms available.
- Start gathering your friends’ emails to add them as roommates in your registration form – It opens on May 21st, at 6 pm (Lisbon Time).
- Your safety and comfort are our top priority. To register, all participants must agree with our Code of Conduct. During the event, the team is responsible for protecting these rules. If you ever feel unsafe, please come to us – We’ll always have a team member available to support you.
