Beach volleyball camp Rimini: the Rimini Beach Bash extends your summer

Summer just doesn't want to end? At our beach volleyball camp in Rimini, the new Rimini Beach Bash, it doesn't have to. You train in the sand right by the sea during the day, in the evening you sit with the camp crew over an Aperol Spritz at the beach bar – and at some point you realise that a camp week has turned into a little summer extension. (As of: August 2026)

Where is the camp?

The Rimini Beach Bash takes place right on the beach in Rimini, on Italy's Adriatic coast in the Emilia-Romagna region. We play at Bagno Tiki 26 (Lungomare Claudio Tintori 30/A) – exactly where beach volleyball belongs: in the sand, with the sea right in front of you and just a few steps from the bar, sunbeds and beach vibes. For the camp week the courts are reserved exclusively for us every day until 18:00, so you can play not only in training but also outside the programme.

For accommodation there's a clear recommendation: the Homie Hotel, less than 50 metres from the courts – it hardly gets any closer. There are double rooms for those travelling as a pair and double rooms for single use for those who prefer their peace and quiet. If you'd rather look yourself, you'll find plenty of alternatives around the beach, from hostels to hotels with breakfast buffets.

Getting there is easy: Rimini has its own airport, Federico Fellini Airport, right on the doorstep; alternatively Bologna is well connected – from there you're at the beach in about an hour and a half. You can just as easily come by car.

When is the best time to go?

The Rimini Beach Bash deliberately takes place in late summer: in 2026 over two weeks between 20 September and 3 October. While autumn slowly knocks on the door at home, it's still the season on the Adriatic – according to climate data for Rimini, daytime temperatures in September average around 24 °C, it cools down to about 15 °C at night, and the water is still a pleasant 22 °C.

That's exactly the idea behind the camp: stretching summer out one more time before it ends. Fine sand, warm evenings, beach volleyball in golden light – and a beach that's much quieter in late summer than at the peak of the holiday season. If you didn't have time in summer or simply want a second round of beach holiday, you get both here: sport and sun, without the heat and the crowded water of high summer.

What makes Rimini special?

Rimini combines beach volleyball, beach holiday and Italian nightlife like hardly any other place on the Adriatic. During the day you're in the sand and the sea; in the evening, restaurants, bars, the promenade and the Riviera nightlife the region is famous for await. In between there's almost always room for a piadina at lunchtime and a spritz at the beach bar at sunset.

It's exactly this mix that makes the Rimini Beach Bash: solid training and lots of playing time during the day, plus evenings that start with a sundowner and quite often end on the dance floor. A match in the afternoon, aperitivo at the bar, music and new people later on – and Rimini's old town with its little alleys is just a short trip away for a break from the sand.

What does a day at the camp look like?

A day at the Rimini Beach Bash starts relaxed and rarely ends early. The week kicks off on Sunday with a relaxed arrival, time to settle in and first contacts on the beach. At 16:00 there's a casual welcome tournament – it's not about results, but about getting into the camp together. In the evening there's the welcome dinner, and by then at the latest you'll notice: this isn't an ordinary beach week.

From Monday the week really picks up speed. You train with international coaches in groups matched to your level, with a maximum of eight people per court – so you get lots of ball contacts instead of long waits. Training covers technique, build-up play, tactics and communication, always with lots of practice. On top of that there's free play and various tournament formats, from ambitious to casual and social – at the Beach Bash, both belong together.

After the last rally, things often carry straight on: shower, dinner, beach bar, music, maybe a club – and the next morning back barefoot in the sand. Departure is on Saturday by 10:00, and then it's back to everyday life, with a lot more summer in your luggage than before.

Who is the camp for?

The Rimini Beach Bash is a camp for adults who are up for beach volleyball, sun, new people and lively evenings – the camp is adults only. You don't need to be a pro: because training takes place in groups matched to your level, you'll quickly feel at home whatever your level, while working on your game at the same time.

The Rimini Beach Bash is also easy to do solo: through training, tournaments, free play and evenings together, teams and friendships usually form within the first few days. And if someone from your crew wants to come along but would rather skip the ball: no problem. Travel companions without volleyball ambitions are welcome, but need a camp pass – that way they're part of the excursions, sundowners, parties and side programme.
