Nestled on Hvar, often hailed as the sunniest spot in Europe, the luxurious Maslina Resort—part of the esteemed Relais & Chateaux family—is making waves with its latest venture.
For those keen on swapping the hubbub of high season for something a bit more tranquil, the resort is offering up an enticing proposition: five-night yoga retreats that promise not just stretches and poses, but a holistic soul-soothing experience, starting at €2,875.
For the solitaries or the social butterflies managing groups of five or ten, these retreats aren’t just about bending it like Beckham—or should I say, stretching it like Shiva?
Set against the breathtaking vistas of Hvar, the experiences are curated to detox the mind and body, offering a unique blend of restorative practices during the island’s quieter months.
Kicking off in October 2024, with dates like a trio of gems from the 7th to the 26th, and more to spring up in 2025, these getaways are your ticket to wellness with a dash of luxury.
The Villa Uvala, a snug five-bedroom nook at Maslina Resort, serves as your private haven. Here, intimacy isn’t just a word; it’s the whole mood, accommodating up to 10 guests in a setting that’s as lush as it is secluded.
Steering the ship—or should I say, mat—is Andrea Lach, a yogi with a knack for blending disciplines like a master cocktail mixer at a beachside bar.
With over 500 hours of training under her belt, her classes are more than just exercise; they’re passages to inner peace, flavoured with everything from hatha to yin, and sprinkled with sunrise meditations and sunset sound healings.
But it’s not all ‘Om’ and quiet. The retreats pack in guided hikes, bike tours, and workshops on breathing and healing mantras, ensuring your stay is packed with activities that tickle both body and spirit.
And let’s not forget the grub—three squares a day that might just have you forgetting about the outside world, focusing instead on the local flavours and freshest picks, drizzled in that famous Hvar olive oil.
So, if you’re itching for a break that promises more than just a pause from daily grind, Maslina Resort’s yoga retreats are the place to be.
It’s where wellness meets opulence, wrapped up in the soothing embrace of Hvar’s healing scenery.
Maslina Resort’s yoga retreats are meticulously crafted to ensure every moment promotes wellbeing while thoughtfully connecting to the healing surroundings.
