“You may not be able to control the whole world, but you may learn to control your inner world through yoga.”

– Debasish Mridha –

Attend a yoga retreat by the sea

Yoga provides an essential balance in our lives between mind, body & soul.

It will nurture those that are in need of releasing oneself from their everyday, in order to find their true reason for being or simply disconnect from their busy lives through witnessing and experiencing the joy of simple things.

Combined with genuine activities and support, it will shape our lives in beautiful locations and with beautiful people, allowing us to relax and appreciate the essence of life. An invitation to be honest with ourselves to release the inner purpose and experience a self discovering journey.

Switch off

A retreat is an ideal way to switch off from all our obligations, unwind, and organise our priorities in life. You can choose the perfect personal development experience for you: a weekend retreat, yoga and meditation holidays or a healing and health retreat.

New experiences

Practising yoga, meditation or breathing techniques are an excellent way to enjoy looking after of our body and mind. Treat yourself to an alternative type of holiday in a beautiful refuge, a health retreat, and dive into a personal development experience delighting in the joy of living.

Look after your inner self

It often seems that our exterior image is more important than our inner self, our emotional health. Our inner being needs just as much attention as, or more than, our outer self. A personal growth experience – such as a yoga, a meditation, or a spiritual retreat – is perfect to sort through emotions and find that inner peace which is so essential to being happy.

When visiting Croatia, the island of Hvar is a must-visit destination! Hvar is a feast for the senses. Vineyards, ancient olive groves, scented pines, lavender blanket fertile hillsides and fabled towns stake out history on limestone cliffs. Stone houses studded into the limestone hillsides, connected by small bridges that date back centuries, grace the entire island. No matter where you wander on the island, you’ll be enchanted by the cobalt-colored Adriatic Sea, kissed by hours of sunshine.

We can give your guests a real taste of the island and it’s specialties with the emphasis on fresh fish, fine local wines, olive oil and honey made of rosemary, lavender or sage – all characteristic aromatic and medicinal herbs of the island.

Discover the island to the fullest and give your guests and yourself what we have precious little of these days… time.
