Fly into Dubrovnik international airport (DBK). If you’re flying from North America, you may have to transfer through another European city. Optionally, you can fly into the international airports in the cities of Zagreb or Split and take a domestic flight to Dubrovnik. Our host hotel is a 45-minute scenic drive along the coast from the airport.

Plan to arrive at our retreat hotel by mid-afternoon on the first day, a Saturday, of the retreat. Check-in is at 3:00pm.

You will receive information for airport transfers (not included) when you register.

Our retreat ends on the following Saturday after brunch. You can book your flight for early afternoon onward. Check-out is at 12:00 pm.

If you are traveling from the U.S. or Canada, try to arrive a day or two early to adjust to the time zone. You will be in better shape to fully enjoy your retreat. If you have additional days to travel, a few days on one of the islands is recommended.

Croatia may surprise you with its cuisine! They eat very fresh, locally sourced, and the food is delicious and wholesome. The region is well known for growing figs and cherries, and for producing the finest olive oil and wine. Influenced by the Mediterranean and Italian palate, Croatians enjoy slow meals and eating well! Our host hotel restaurant creates dishes with high quality and organic ingredients; fruits, vegetables, meat, fish are bought from local farmers and fishermen. Vegetarian dishes are offered for all meals. Gluten-free and dairy-free are uncommon in the Croatian diet and therefore gluten-free and dairy-free food products are not readily available. If your diet requires it, our host hotel will prepare special meals without gluten and/or dairy with advance notice before the retreat.

You will have plenty of free time to fill as you like or simply enjoy our host hotel’s amenities.

• An invigorating walk down to the beach for a swim
• Hike or bike around the hills
• Boat tour to Sipan Island
• Wine tasting tour 
• Read a book, journal, chat with new friends, and always enjoy the view!

Yes, our Croatia yoga retreat has a fun tie to Game of Thrones! Dubrovnik was the main filming location in Croatia for King’s Landing, a fictional city in Game of Thrones, the famous television series based on the series of fantasy novels “A Song of Ice and Fire” and distributed by HBO. For those who have seen the series and are passionate about it, a visit to Dubrovnik will become a beautiful déjà vu because of the way in which it was so well integrated into the setting of the series.

With a base such as that of the Old Town of Dubrovnik, no special measures were necessary for scenery or special effects in order to play the fortified port city of King’s Landing, a stronghold of the Lannister family. Filming grandly exploits the large outer walls, fortifications built over time by human hands, as well as the narrow streets of the old town where several scenes happen during the course of the episodes.
