Rovinj
Rovinj is truly one of those hidden gems that takes your breath away the moment you step foot in it. Imagine a vibrant, coastal town nestled along the Adriatic, with narrow cobblestone streets winding between colorful, weathered buildings. Every corner reveals something new—a cozy café, an art gallery, or a perfect little view of the sparkling sea. The scent of the ocean mixes with the aroma of fresh seafood from the harbor, while St. Euphemia’s Church watches over the town from its hilltop perch. And those sunsets—when the sky turns shades of pink and gold, casting a glow over the water—it feels like pure magic.
Jiu Jitsu
At Sun & Roll Camps, we believe Jiu-Jitsu is more than just a martial art—it's a way to connect with others, push personal boundaries, and experience growth on and off the mats. Our camps bring together world-class instructors and passionate practitioners in beautiful, relaxed settings, like Rovinj, Croatia, to combine top-level training with an unforgettable vacation. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or just beginning your Jiu-Jitsu journey, Sun & Roll is about embracing the spirit of learning, community, and adventure. You'll roll hard, laugh even harder, and leave with new skills, new friends, and memories to last a lifetime.
