Location
National Park Plitvice Lakes, surrounding hiking trails, river rafting, and mountain climbing makes this area favourite destination for an active vacation.
Plitvice Lakes, a crown jewel of Croatia, is a mesmerizing network of 16 terraced lakes interconnected by cascading waterfalls and surrounded by dense, ancient forests. The lakes, famous for their ever-changing hues of turquoise, emerald, and sapphire, owe their vibrant colours to the interplay of minerals, sunlight, and natural algae.
This UNESCO World Heritage site is a haven for biodiversity, home to rare flora and fauna, including wild orchids and brown bears. Wooden walkways wind gracefully through the park, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the pristine beauty and tranquil sounds of flowing water.
Accommodation
Ekodrom Estate is the perfect place to get lost and find peace.
Set in an idyllic and supremely private location, you will enjoy the beauty of plums orchards and lush greenery. The property consists of 4 houses that used to belong to Grandmother Ljuba and today, it belongs to her grandson Marko. One house used to be a barn and the other two were cattle stables.
Marko and friends turned these traditional constructions into modern houses. Each house has an outdoor private hot tub. Sauna and in-house massage are at your disposal.
Food
Food is prepared with fresh and seasonal ingredients purchased from local farmers, because we love to support the local economy. You’ll be delighted with two daily meals in our retreat, made by the in-house chef. Brunches and dinners are mainly vegetarian and vegan. The gluten-free options are available. Coffee, tea, fruits and snacks will be available throughout the day.
