Zoukdreams Castle of Miracles 2026 - Marathon & Retreat

In 2026 we will return to our stunning location to repeat the mesmerizing experiences of Zoukdreams Castle of Miracles! We will gather a great group of joyous people and celebrate our unique concept for the fourth time. This time, the castle offers even more space and we will host a weekend with various options in the program to choose from. You’re invited to try and discover, or just to continue enjoying! Either way, Castle of Miracles 2026 will be one not to miss! 👉 For the first time in 2026, thanks to the success of Castle of Miracles, we’ll have the whole old castle too. That’s two castles, the new and the old one, completely for Zoukers! 🏰✨Just Zouk energy everywhere! We will have the same chef kitchen as last time, who can make everybody very happy with all the powerful & healthy food freshly made on site! We will soon let you know more about the Zouk artists. About the story of our event: in the Dutch province of Limburg, we create an extraordinary Zouk fairytale on old Roman era crossroads and at the new premises of a medieval castle. In 2026 we will not only have the new building with the big ballroom, but also a lot of extra space in the old castle. In this unique venue we provide you with the opportunity to enjoy a great Zouk experience: a marathon and retreat. At the same time we offer the opportunity to discover some Miracles of Zouk, for example: greater connections, beautiful experiences, deeper knowledge and more powerful expressions. The one-of-a-kind location offers spaces for the activities, eating and sleeping under the same roof. Are you excited for an all taken care event where the only things you have to do are connect, dance and enjoy?

The roots of the castle go back to 13th century and the current old building is from 1830. It is surrounded by nature and the river Maas. In between workshops you can take a breath of fresh air and walk through the gardens and forest on the property. For Zoukdreams the modern building next to the old castle is our main dance venue. But this is in fact a real Castle of Miracles: it is a new fantasy castle created from re-used materials from local buildings, including some old fortifications of the town of Venlo. The modern building has bigger rooms to dance and new and large facilities like kitchen, technical equipement and terraces. In 2026 we have secured even more extra space in the old castle, to be able to make more people happy with a private room. But moreover you will be able to enjoy the different atmosphere of both buildings. 💥 PRICES & REGISTRATION Please see the waiting list here: https://forms.gle/MHA81HBERQJoJVkJ6 (status February 10th: for leaders & buddies this may still give you an option to participate) NEW: Buddy pass for 1 follower + 1 leader.
