Indulge in seaside yoga, panoramic views, European culture, and Old World charm on the Mediterranean Coast for our Croatia Yoga Retreat.
Join Vajra Sol in a charming Croatian village of limestone hills, olive groves, and old stone houses. Our retreat destination is 20 minutes’ drive from the city of Rovinj, a UNESCO World Heritage site. At our private villa, awaken to sweeping views of the Adriatic Sea and then end the day with breathtaking sunsets over the Elaphite Islands. Enliven the senses with a daily yoga practice. Dine on Mediterranean-inspired meals. Explore the countryside. Dive into seaside activities.
After morning tea or coffee, enjoy an energizing and revitalizing slow-flow vinyasa yoga practice on our villa’s poolside veranda. Morning classes will focus on moving the vital energy force in each of us through thoughtful sequencing and breathwork. Some afternoons and evenings will include restorative yoga and guided meditation practices.
The retreat includes a group outing exploring the coast and islands on an exclusive, customized boat excursion with swimming and snorkeling. We have a day to visit the medieval city of Rovinj with its rich history, sidewalk cafes, and Old World architecture. Personal free time can be filled with poolside lounging, a hike in the hills, a winery tour, and seaside activities.
An unexpected pleasure of Croatia is the tantalizing Mediterranean cuisine. We will dine on fresh and locally sourced food that is wholesome and delicious. The region is well known for growing figs and cherries and producing some of the finest olive oil and wine in the world. The culinary surprise will be a dinner out in a nearby charming town.
We spend the week in a tranquil Croatian village just inland from Rovinj. The host property is a charming boutique villa that is the essence of simple luxury.
Start the morning with a rejuvenating yoga class followed by a Mediterranean brunch in the open-air restaurant under a trellis of grapevines. Afternoons will be yours to explore or stay at the villa, relax, and give in to the laid-back vibe of the countryside.

The planning for our adventures was exhaustive & flawless while the yoga was threaded into every moment. Sandra teaches that yoga is not just about the asana or what you do on your mat. It’s a way of life worth living with others. As for the accommodations, food & service – everything was top notch.
Christina, Labrador, CanadaThis was my third retreat with Sandra, I have been to Costa Rica twice and enjoyed my retreats so much there. I again traveled solo to this retreat and felt safe and confident the entire time. If you’re looking for a superbly organized adventure, mixed with spirituality and fun then do yourself a favour and go on retreat with Vajra Sol!
