Join us for a 7-Day / 6-Night Retreat in Hvar, Croatia at the Adriana Hvar Hotel

Surrounded by the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea, sun-drenched stone villages, and fragrant lavender fields, Hvar is the perfect place to reawaken the senses and reconnect with the rhythms of your body, breath, and being.

Join us for an unforgettable retreat designed to help you slow down, savor the moment, and tune into what truly lights you up. Each day invites you to move, explore, and rest in ways that awaken your full sensory experience—through yoga, fitness classes, delicious Mediterranean meals, connection with nature, and the rich cultural beauty of coastal Croatia.

From oceanview movement sessions and island excursions to quiet time for reading, swimming, or sipping wine under the stars—this retreat is about experiencing life, not rushing through it. Plus, you’ll be just steps away from charming shops, local markets, and an array of restaurants and cafés—perfect for discovering Hvar’s vibrant culture at your own pace.

This retreat is your invitation to wake up to the beauty within and around you. Come alive in Croatia—one breath, one bite, one barefoot step at a time.

WANT TO EXTEND YOUR ADVENTURE?

Add extra time before or after the retreat to explore the historic beauty of Split or Dubrovnik—two of Croatia’s most iconic coastal cities. We’re happy to help you plan add-on days to make the most of your journey. See details below.
