Resort: Club Hotel Marina Beach is a prestigious 4-star-turistic resort located only 150 m from the golden beach of Marina di Orosei, one of the most renowned destinations in Sardinia.
The majestic and colorful building of the Club Hotel, that reminds of the Moorish art and Sardinian culture and landscape, was built in a 23-hectare-park with well mantained gardens, vast lawn and nice little squares connected to each other with romantic walkways made of mosaic stones.
Thanks to its position, very close to the beach, the majestic swimming-pool, one of the biggest in Europe, the several sport and entertainment activities and the big culinary offer, you will spend a pleasant holiday and collect beautiful happy memories. You will have time to yourself to spend relaxing in the resort, maybe by the pool or by exploring the nearby places at your own pace. There will be dance workshops and evening freestyle dancing every night until late.
Preferably, bookings should be gender balanced. Non gender balanced bookings will be considered depending on how many people of either gender have already booked. Please note that we reserve the right to change the programme at our own descretion if the need arises at any time.

Before booking: please read all the informations and T&Cs contained in this website.
How To Book: Please ring/email us first. £ 200 deposit per person is payable at this stage via bank transfer to Francesco Gareddu, BUSINESS account number: 22841264, sort code: 040003. Reference: Your name.
Info: Please email us on jive@jivetime.co.uk stating your name + name of guests and, unless you believe that we already have it, the following information: your address, the email addresses and mobile numbers of all in your bookings if known, date and place of birth of all in your booking if known. Please also let us know the room layout you would like (double, twin etc.), allergies and dietary requirements, your flight details and whether you would like us to book your airport/hotel return transfers or whether you are planning to hire your own car.
Airport Distance: Circa 86 Km from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (about 75 minutes transfer).
Security: You will be required to wear a coloured wrist bracelet for the duration of your stay.
What is NOT included: 1) Flights to/from Olbia airport. On their website, a number of airlines are showing direct and indirect return flights to Olbia airport from various UK airports, for example Gatwick, Luton, Stanstead, Heathrow, Bristol and Birmingham. 2) We can book return transfer airport/hotel at cost and subject to your request/availability. Depending on demand, we’ll book large vehicles/buses to keep your cost down and the group together. Public transport (from 1st June to 30th September) in past years has always been available between airport and resort, however, the timetable is normally published at the end of May and therefore we currently do not have information available to confirm public transport. 3) Excursion/s: To be advised.
If you wish to extend your holiday by arriving before 15/09/25, leaving after 22/09/2025 or are arriving/departing Olbia on different times, where available you can still book a transfer on coaches serving flights arriving/departing on days/times different than your own flight. However, where available, the timing of the coach transfers will be programmed to coincide with the main flights booked by most people. Therefore if the times of these main flights for which transfer coaches are booked changes, so it will change the times of the transfer coaches. Alternatively, you can make your own transfer arrangements from Olbia to the hotel and vice versa.
Please note that in any case your hold luggage must not exceed 25Kg per person unless previously agreed by us in exceptional circumstances, this is due to the limited space available in the coaches' hold. Every year people bring needlessly large suitcases which cost you more to transport, use more fuels and impact on the carbon footprint.
Contacting us: For any other information about this dance holiday, help with your booking process, or if you want information about cost for extra stays prior to the start of the event on 15/09, or after the event ends on 22/09, or both, or wish to partake to the salsa dance Festival that we are co-producing with MamboCity between 22-29 September 2026 in the same resort, please do not hesitate to call us on our landline 01494 - 727 344 or email us on jive@jivetime.co.uk
