In the afternoon, embark on a gentle hike (approx. 2.5 hours) to Mt. Vidova Gora, the highest peak among Croatian islands, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of Golden Cape, and the islands of Hvar and Vis.

Afterward, we will visit a traditional Dalmatian village and explore a family-owned agrotourism site. This twelfth-generation family resides in a Venetian castle, a cultural heritage site with unique Art Nouveau interiors. Enjoy a tour of the house for a glimpse into noble life in late 19th-century Dalmatia. Conclude with a meal of homemade dishes on a baroque terrace overlooking the valley, sea, and mountains.

Return to the villa for a deeply relaxing Yoga Nidra class, followed by dinner.

LOCATION

Brač is a Mediterranean island famous for its cultural heritage, deeply indented coves, smooth stone pebble beaches, crystal clear sea, and rustic Mediterranean villages.
This unique Adriatic island is bestowed with Croatian symbols such as Vidova Gora — one of the most beautiful viewpoints and the highest peak on the Adriatic coast.
Another treasure is the Golden Cape — a natural white pebbled beach formation that sticks out of the sea like a tongue. Lonely Planet listed it in the first place of the most beautiful beaches in Croatia.
These remarkable natural properties and the islands’ relaxed vibe make Brač a top-rated destination for windsurfers, sports lovers, and adventure seekers.
Our retreat base is located outside of the tourist rush in peaceful village Mirca — slow-paced and a perfect place for enjoying sublime scenery and scents of Mediterranean herbs and pine trees.
