Imagine boarding your private 160-ft state-of-the-art yacht for eight days of adventure.
We’re talking island hopping, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and daily movement experiences that’ll make your heart sing
(or your soul SHINE!).
Each day is a brand spanking new experience.
(ONLY 2 CABINS LEFT!)
Waking up on our private yacht in Croatia, with the gentle sway of the Adriatic Sea calling you to seize the day.
Mosey onto deck for your morning coffee or tea. Breathe in that fresh sea air, take your time, and soak in the beauty of the coastline. (Remember we’ll be in a new port every day!)
Ready to get moving? Join us on the sun deck as we cruise to our next amazing destination. Nothing like a little downward dog (or a cha cha cha) with the sea breeze in your hair, right?
Feel more like chilling? Picture yourself sprawled out on a lounge chair catching some rays with a good book. Pure bliss!
Afternoons are for adventure or relaxing—your call! Explore those charming cobblestone streets and picturesque small island towns or kick back on one of the yacht’s decks.
Getting Hungry? As the sun sets, it’s time for a delicious dinner (and probably some dancing) under the stars.
And hey, we’ve got some surprises up our sleeves to make each day unforgettable. Think swimming in hidden coves or exploring hidden caves.
Seriously, it’s gonna be epic!

Daily Movement Practices
One of the things we are most excited about is Yacht Life!
Our yacht (we love the sound of that) was built in 2021 and is freaning amazing! When we’re not off exploring the gorgeous islands, we’ll enjoy yoga or dancing on the deck, soaking up the sun, or maybe sitting in the hot tub to watch the sun set.
Best of all? We get to sleep in the same bed every night and have new adventures every day.
Each luxury cabin has a private bathroom, air-conditioning, and a wardrobe. Choose between two twin beds or a full size bed with deluxe linens.
Lower Deck cabins have charming portholes, while the Main and Upper Deck cabins boast large windows.

Ever feel like you come back from vacation exhausted rather than restored?
Our adventure in Croatia emphasizes a holistic approach to wellness, with adventure, discovery, and amazing experiences to nourish your mind, body, and spirit. There’s plenty of time to relax, enjoy the sunshine, and recharge.
Would like to explore stunning coastal towns, swim in pristine water and eat delicious Mediterranean food but don’t want to deal with the research and planning hassles.
We’ve crafted an itinerary for you! Our upscale wellness adventure will tick all the boxes and you don’t need to do any of the work! You’ll be able to enjoy every minute without worrying about all of those details.
Want to enjoy visiting multiple islands and towns without packing up and moving each day.
Check! We’ll explore multiple unique towns along the Dalmatian Coast including top spots like Dubrovnik, Hvar, Korčkaula and Split and some off the beaten path spots like the Blue Caves and Mljet National Park. Best of all, you’ll only need to unpack once! We’ll have local guides for all of our excursions and then return home to our yacht!
Don’t want to give up your movement practices when you travel.
Fear not! Niki and Mare will offer you opportunities every day to move that body of yours and to connect with your mind, body and spirit. We’ll enjoy open-air practices with gorgeous views of the coast. All classes are 100% optional.
Hop on our group transfer from Dubrovnik International Airport to Gruž harbor. Cruise check-in begins at 2:00 PM. If your flight arrives earlier (which we highly recommend) you can explore the beautiful city of Dubrovnik on your own until check-in. Take some time to get settled and explore our home for the week. Following a free afternoon we’ll share a Welcome Dinner to meet each other and the crew. We’ll stay overnight in Dubrovnik.
✔ Group Transfer from Dubrovnik Airport

After breakfast, we’ll visit the old town of Dubrovnik, where a local guide will take us on a highlights tour of the UNESCO protected World Heritage Site. After the city tour, you’ll have free time to explore and enjoy Dubrovnik, The Pearl of the Adriatic.
In the early afternoon, transfer back to the ship for lunch en route to Slano, a picturesque town in a deep cove a few hours north of Dubrovnik. After lunch (and maybe a swim stop?) we’ll arrive in Slano, a traditional fisherman’s village. We’ll make our way to Ston, well known for its extensive Medieval walls and long tradition of oyster farming (over 2000 years!) In Ston, we’ll visit an oyster farm to learn how oysters and mussels are cultivated and then we’ll share a special oyster and mussel tasting with local wine. Enjoy dinner in one of the charming restaurants in Slano.

Early in the morning, we depart for Mljet, one of the most beautiful and densely forested islands of the Adriatic region. This isolated island is known for its mysticism, olives groves, vineyards and of course its forests. While we are cruising from Slano, we’ll enjoy breakfast, movement and perhaps another swim stop. After lunch on board, we’ll arrive in the town of Pomena (population: 52!) Upon arrival, you can explore on foot or perhaps on a bicycle (included). It’s all up to you! You’ll be free to venture through the park, explore the Great and Small Lake, and maybe even visit The Islet of St. Mary with its Benedictine Monastery.

Today we cruise to the fortified city of Korčula, birthplace of Marco Polo. We’ll probably stop for a little swim in one of the many secluded bays along our route. We’ll enjoy a leisurely multiple course lunch on board so we are ready to go upon arrival.
In Korčula, a local guide will take us on a tour through the medieval town’s charming narrow and cobbled streets. You’ll have the rest of the evening free to enjoy dinner at one of the many waterfront restaurants. We have heard there is a hidden bar nestled in a tower that has amazing sunset views. Can you find it?
✔ Korčula Walking Tour
✔ Breakfast & Lunch
In the morning, we’ll continue our cruise to the secluded island of Vis, with a swim stop en route.. The island of Vis was closed to tourists from 1945 until the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 90’s which helped preserve the charm of the villages. (perhaps you’ll recognize a few spots from Mamma Mia 2!)
After lunch on board, the afternoon is all yours! You’ll have time to enjoy Vis at your own pace and to enjoy all that it has to offer. Beautiful beaches, ecological agriculture and preserved traditional architecture are highlights of Vis. You may also consider visiting Fort George or the Archaeological Museum.
Enjoy dinner on your own any one of the local waterfront restaurants.
✔ Breakfast & Lunch
We start our day with a morning cruise to Biševo and the natural phenomenon known as the Blue Cave. The Blue Cave is a wonder of the Adriatic Sea and is the most popular sight on the island of Vis. Originally, the entrance to Blue Cave was located below sea level, which required visitors to dive deeply to explore the cave’s mysterious blue depths. Sunbeams penetrating through the cave’s submarine opening get reflected from the white bottom floor, coloring the cave aquamarine and objects in the water silver, creating a truly stunning and magical natural phenomenon. At times, high waves prevent the entrance to Blue Cave, which is something we will not know until the morning before our visit.
After a swim stop and lunch, we’ll continue cruising along many idyllic coves and bays towards Hvar, the sunniest place in all of Europe! (2724 hours of sunshine per year) and one of the most beautiful islands in the world.
Upon our afternoon arrival, you will have time to explore on your own and take in the island’s rich history and culture. You’ll have the evening free to play in bustling Hvar or you may choose to return to the harbor for a more quiet evening in one of the family owned restaurants by the bay.
Meals: Breakfast & Lunch
We’ll start our day with an early departure towards Bol on the island of Brač. Bol is famous for having one of the most spectacular European beaches, Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape). Take some time to relax in this charming Dalmatian town. Have a walk, a cup of coffee or a swim, until lunch is served on board. After lunch, we’ll continue cruising towards Split, with refreshing swimming stops en route.
This afternoon, hop off our yacht to explore Split, a city with stunning Roman architecture. Our local guide will lead an afternoon tour through the historical Diocletian Palace. We also recommend climbing to the top of the bell tower of the Cathedral of Saint Domnius or hiking up to the peak above town in the Marjan Forest Park to take in panoramic views (and to get a workout!)
After touring the city, you will be on your own to explore Split and have a farewell dinner on your own or with new friends!

I learned to be kinder to myself, to be more aware and truly what it is to be more purposeful and live with intention.The food made it easy to be good to my body and provided a kick start to healthier eating once I got home. The exercise throughout the day was amazing, the level of conversation and connection with other people was exactly what I needed to come home refreshed and approach my life with purpose and compassion.
