Summary

Experience an extraordinary getaway aboard a comfortable catamaran in the turquoise waters surrounding the Croatian coastal city of Zadar. Far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, glide across the calm waters of the Adriatic Sea and discover new, hidden coves, small islands, and idyllic swimming spots every day—places accessible only by water.

On board, a harmonious blend of activity, relaxation, and stylish sailing awaits you. Professionally guided yoga and Pilates sessions in the morning or at sunset help you unwind, strengthen your body, and create space for renewed energy. The gentle rocking of the catamaran, the fresh sea air, and the vastness of the horizon foster a very special atmosphere of mindfulness and inner balance.

Between sessions, you’ll enjoy the Mediterranean way of life: swimming in crystal-clear waters, relaxing on the sun deck, or exploring charming coastal towns and small island harbors along the Dalmatian coast. Culinary delights include fresh Mediterranean specialties and relaxed evenings under the starry sky.

This retreat combines an active vacation, relaxation, and upscale comfort into an unforgettable experience for body, mind, and senses—a journey that inspires, slows you down, and leaves a lasting impact. 🌊🧘‍♀️⛵✨

The light-filled salon, the spacious deck, and the lounge areas offer plenty of space for shared meals, relaxing evenings, and yoga sessions with ocean views. The gentle rocking of the water, spectacular sunsets, and waking up in quiet, secluded coves make this accommodation a special experience—luxurious, close to nature, and exclusive all at once.

sequence

Sunday – Arrival & Welcome Check-in starting at 5 p.m. Your adventure begins at Marina Sukusan near Zadar. Starting at 5 p.m., our skipper will be there to give you a warm welcome. After check-in and a brief introduction to life on board, we’ll enjoy a light welcome dinner. The first yoga session in the evening sets the tone for the week ahead as the sun sets golden over the Adriatic. Monday – First Adriatic Experience Relaxed Start in Ždrelac In the morning, we’ll leave the marina at a leisurely pace—but first, there’s a brief safety briefing on board. After just one hour, we reach the idyllic bay of Ždrelac, directly across from Sukusan. Here we anchor, and you’ll have time for your first taste of the Adriatic: swimming, relaxing, simply settling into sailing life. Tuesday – Sailing Day to Konoba Žmara An adventurous sailing route We’ll sail two to three hours to a sheltered dream bay. Once we arrive, pure freedom awaits—swimming, snorkeling, SUP, or soaking up the sun. In the evening, we’ll hike half an hour to the island chapel for a goodnight yoga session with a view of the sea. Afterward, we’ll enjoy a delicious dinner at Konoba Žmara—a family-run hideaway far from the tourist crowds, straight out of a picture book!

Wednesday – Telašćica Nature Park & Salt Lake Explore the breathtaking natural scenery with ocean views stretching all the way to Italy We’ll sail to the unique salt lake in Telašćica Nature Park—about a two- to three-hour trip. Surrounding the crystal-clear lagoon, you’ll marvel at the dramatic cliffs, and on a clear day, you can see all the way to Italy across the open sea. An Adriatic highlight that leaves you speechless! Thursday – Rava Island & Villa Rava Authentic island idyll We sail to the tiny island of Rava—a hidden Adriatic gem. At anchor, we’ll enjoy the turquoise waters before going ashore to the charming Villa Rava. Here, warm hospitality awaits you—along with a feathered friend, the parrot, who perfectly completes the local atmosphere. Traditional dishes, fresh ingredients, pure hospitality. Friday – Preko Monastery Island & Zadar Evening
Spiritual tranquility on the island We sail to the monastery island of Preko for a special yoga and Pilates session amidst historic walls and the sound of the sea. In the afternoon/evening, the ferry takes you to Zadar—immerse yourself in the lively old town, enjoy the evening, and return relaxed on the last ferry. A perfect mix of tranquility and city life!

Saturday – Return Trip & Farewell Final Yoga or Pilates Session The last morning begins with a relaxing return trip from Preko to Sukusan—just a half-hour cruise across crystal-clear waters. After check-out, we say a warm goodbye, filled with memories. This was a week you’ll never forget—see you soon for your next adventure!
