The ELLA Main Party is designed to let participants dance freely, express themselves and celebrate diversity surrounded by community.
The ELLA Excursions take place on Monday, 31 August, Tuesday, 1 September and Wednesday, 2 September 2026.
They are curated experiences designed to help participants discover Mallorca beyond the festival venues.
The 2026 excursion programme includes different experiences, such as:
• Gastronomic Experience — Monday, 31 August 2026
A winery excursion in the interior of Mallorca, including a guided tour of the winery and vineyards, explanation of the winemaking process, wine tasting, traditional Mallorcan food and a relaxed atmosphere for connection.
• A Taste of Paradise — Tuesday, 1 September 2026
A sea and nature excursion exploring Mallorca’s coastline, sea caves, dramatic cliffs and hidden coves, with swimming stops, spectacular views, music, great vibes and lunch in a privileged setting.
• Cabrera Protected Natural Paradise — Wednesday, 2 September 2026
A private excursion to Cabrera, one of the most valuable protected natural areas in the Mediterranean, including boat navigation, discovery of the natural environment, swimming in crystal-clear waters and a curated gastronomic experience.
The excursions are designed to combine nature, culture, gastronomy, discovery and community.
The Full Pack Experience is generally considered the best value option because it combines the widest variety of experiences, activities and community events throughout the festival.
It also allows participants to experience ELLA as it was designed: as a journey of connection, discovery, celebration and community.
The Full Pack Experience is usually the best choice for solo travellers.
Because it includes multiple shared experiences across several days, it naturally creates opportunities to meet people, form friendships and become part of the ELLA community.
