This event is smaller and more intimate than the often larger “congress”-style festivals held in February each year, such as the Hawaii Salsa & Bachata Congress series. It offers a carefully curated tropical-styled dance getaway rather than a multi-track educational focus.(Happening Next)

✅ How It Differs from the Congress (February)

  • Congress 2025 (Feb 19 – 23) is a longer, multi-day immersive experience with dedicated ballrooms for Salsa, Bachata, Zouk/Kizomba, beach BBQ parties, and pre-club nights at District Nightclub.(Stay Happening)

  • Paradise 2025 (Aug) is a warmer, shorter, beach‑side festival at the Hyatt Regency, with fewer days but a vacation‑festival vibe.(Stay Happening, Salsa Vida, AllEvents)

🌺 Summary

Hawaii Salsa & Bachata Paradise 2025 is a dance festival set in the sunny backdrop of Waikiki Beach, offering four days of workshops, beachside parties, live music, and social dancing. It takes place Aug 28–31, 2025, at Hyatt Regency Waikiki, and is designed as a festive, immersive dance vacation. If you’re seeking a tropical experience with expert instruction and plenty of dancing—but in a more condensed format than traditional congresses—this is the event for you.
