Five steps and about ten minutes in total. You do not pay anything until the evening your group actually wants to go out.
Two minutes: your name, an email, your date of birth and your city. Nothing else, because nothing else helps us put a good plan together. No membership, no monthly fee, no card at this stage. And your profile is not a shop window: nobody browses it and nobody can search for you.
This is what makes SAL different: nobody comes alone. Whoever moves first names the group — Thursday crew, the padel lot, whatever you already call yourselves — and gets a code like SAL-4KP2Q to pass around. 3 to 6 people: groups of women, of men or mixed. Small enough to still be your group, big enough for the mix to work.
On your own, whenever suits you, about six minutes. They do not ask about your hobbies but about how you are around other people: whether you say yes before checking the route, whether you break the ice or read the room first. No right answers and no trick questions.
The Sail, The Compass, The Lighthouse, The Garden, The Spark or The Bridge. You also get a secondary avatar, because nobody is only one thing.
It is not a personality test and it does not try to define you. It is how we understand the way you connect with other people, and how we put together groups with an interesting mix of personalities. And, along the way, a decent excuse for the first conversation not to start with the weather.
You only pay for the plans you actually want to attend. No fees, no subscriptions. The group organiser confirms who is coming and books for everyone.
Secure payment through Stripe or PayPal. SAL never has access to your card details.
Three or four groups, between twelve and twenty people, and a SAL host who welcomes you and stays with you throughout the evening. You never walk into a place without knowing who to ask for, and you never walk in alone: you walk in with your own.
We are starting with small gatherings on hotel rooftops in Palma: a drink at sunset, a good room, and groups we think will enjoy meeting each other. No forced games, no rounds of introductions, and nothing you would not do on any given Thursday with your friends.
Before each gathering we go through the groups who have booked and put the room together on purpose: we look at the avatars, the ages and whether you have already shared a plan. What we never do is split you up. You came together and you stay together — the other groups are there so that there is somebody new to meet.
If one of you cannot make it, it is not a problem: the organiser ticks who is coming to each plan and you pay for the people who are actually going. Nobody leaves the group over one Thursday. The only condition is keeping a minimum of 3 people from the group; with fewer, the dynamic we are after stops working.
Cancelling more than 48 hours before the start is free and needs no explanation, whether it is one place or the whole booking: you get the full amount back to the method you paid with. Inside those 48 hours we can no longer refund it, because the venue is already committed — but tell us anyway so we know how many of you are coming.
And if it is SAL that cancels or postpones a plan, you always choose between a full refund and moving your places to the new date.
Create your group, share the code and see the next gatherings in Palma. The rest can start with a drink.
