We’re returning to Croatia for a luxury yoga retreat in Dubrovnik on the gorgeous Adriatic with wine tastings, spa, and blue waters! Combine yoga, the sea, and simple pleasures and you have a perfect escape. Everyday we’ll get to experience new sites, sounds, tastes, and experiences of the region and Croatian culture.
Our home for five nights is a beautiful hotel in Lapad Peninsula just outside of the old town. We have secured all guests comfortable sea view rooms with private balconies.
Perfect to enjoy your panoramic view of the Adriatic. There will be time to relax in the pool which looks out over the sea, and our yoga space is nestled perfectly in the hillside for nature-filled scenery while we start out day with breath and movement.
The Hotel
This luxury yoga retreat in Dubrovnik will take place at a beautiful hotel in Lapad Peninsula just outside of the old town Dubrovnik. The exclusive five star Hotel More is an elegant boutique hotel, located on the water’s edge in the picturesque area of Lapad.
We have secured all guests comfortable sea view rooms with private balconies. Perfect to enjoy your panoramic view of the Adriatic.
There will be time to relax in the pool which looks out over the sea, and our yoga space is nestled perfectly in the hillside for nature-filled scenery while we start out day with breath and movement.
The Cave Bar, the hotel’s hidden gem, offers a unique place to enjoy a cocktail, either within the cave itself or on the seafront, where you can take in the stunning views.
The location is also superb, enjoy the lovely bathing spots and eateries within the surrounding area, without forgetting to venture a little further to Croatia’s star attraction, Dubrovnik Old Town.
Day Trips
Day trips will allow guests to add arts, culture, adventure, and natural beauty to their retreat experience. Trips include visits to towns and small villages in the region, as well as outdoor activities.
We kick off the week in Dubrovnik’s old town as we enjoy lunch and a walking tour with free time to explore further, shop, or grab a drink at one of the city’s “secret” bars on the rocks just outside the seawalls.
A gorgeous spa day is included where guests can swim, lounge at the spa facilities and enjoy a spa treatment. We will enjoy a private boat to a gorgeous beach club to lounge for the afternoon and swim in the clear waters before we boat to another stop at an island for a nature hike and dinner by the sea.
One day out we’ll explore the nearby Peljesac Peninsula which is rich in agriculture and vineyards. Here we’ll make several stops – one at a modern winery where we’ll have a tour and tasting, then a seaside village stop to indulge in an afternoon ice-cream, before visiting an old fortified city for dinner.
Visit smaller villages that few tourists see, and get a true education and taste of Croatia with various tastings of regional wines, aperitifs and cheeses.
Yoga
Daily meditation and yoga classes will be offered in a way to relax, stimulate, and help you grow in your own personal practice.
Classes are open to all levels, beginner to practiced, and can range from gentle, restorative, and vinyasa flow. Style and class levels will be determined and moulded to fit participating students’ needs, and with a small intimate retreat class size, you will be able to get personalized attention to deeply explore your practice.
Cuisine
Healthful, vegetarian food is part of the retreat experience, including breakfasts and dinners daily, as well as selected lunches. Enjoy cuisine which combines creativity and flavors with a special attention to creating balanced meals.
Wholesome ingredients, freshness of the foods, traditional cooking methods and local ingredients are present in every meal, whether at one of the on-site restaurants or out on our day trips.
We’ll feast on traditional flavors of Croatia mixed with Mediterranean styles as well. Plus, throughout the week we’ll have a chance to sample many regional wines, aperitifs, and other tastes such as cheeses and various other specialties.
We will enjoy a champagne brunch one morning, various visits to gourmet restaurants, a cocktail aperitivo at the overlook above the city, plus a wonderful winery visit for a tour and tasting.
