The beautiful Mallorca will turn into an all-female paradise during the annual ELLA International Festival.
Now in its sixth year, the summer edition of the Mediterranean festival will take place from 30 August to 6 September 2018.
The event in the largest of the Balearic Islands celebrates girls who love girls. It will cater, in fact, exclusively to lesbian and bisexual cis and trans women, providing them with a safe space where to meet and engage in fun-loving, summer activities.
More than 1.500 women attended last year’s event. Attendees came from many countries around the world, including France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States and Latin America.

In addition, ELLA will host an International Festival in Costa Rica which will take place from 8 – 22 May. It will feature tourist activities and excursions, as well as social activities to raise funds for local projects.
