Choose Your Retreat Experience

🌿 July 15–19, 2026 — Ashtanga Yoga Retreat

This one is for the Ashtanga lovers, and for anyone curious enough to go deeper. Each morning opens with a traditional practice followed by meditation and reflection. Afternoons belong to you — sauna, hammocks, journaling, forest walks, or doing absolutely nothing at all. We’ll also spend a full day at Plitvice Lakes, walking the famous wooden pathways above turquoise waterfalls through ancient forest. Croatia’s crown jewel, and it will take your breath away.

🌸 August 18–22, 2026 — Women’s Retreat

This one is something different. A gathering just for us — a space to soften, slow down, and remember who we are outside of our busy lives. Gentle yoga. Breathwork. Cacao ceremonies. Fires, laughter, stories, and the kind of quiet that actually restores you. Something magical happens when women come together in nature. I’ve seen it every time, and I can’t wait to experience it with you here.

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.

Your Eco-Friendly Home

Ekodrom Estate is the perfect place to get lost and find peace.

Nestled between Zagreb and the Adriatic Coast, Ekodrom Estate is a sustainable retreat property surrounded by plum orchards and pristine forests.
Each restored farmhouse has its own private outdoor hot tub, and guests can enjoy a shared sauna and optional massages.

Originally belonging to Grandmother Ljuba, the property has been lovingly rebuilt by her grandson Marko, who preserved its rustic charm while adding modern comfort.
The estate’s serenity and natural beauty make it the perfect setting for a yoga retreat in Croatia
