Disappear for a week, in the very best way. Join us on Brač Island, off Croatia's Dalmatian coast, tucked among limestone cliffs with water clear enough to see straight to the bottom. Starting at $2950 per person, this retreat is all-inclusive. Payment plans are available.

About the retreat

We're spending a week exploring an island most people can't even point to on a map. Home base is a private beachfront villa on Brač Island, off Croatia's Dalmatian coast which is home to over a thousand islands, limestone cliffs, medieval walled towns, and turquoise water that's made it one of Europe's most sought-after coastal regions. It has its own distinct food, wine, and history separate from inland Croatia, shaped by centuries of Venetian, Roman, and Illyrian influence. This retreat will prove that slowing down doesn't have to be boring. It’s an opportunity to trade your to do list for a pace your nervous system will appreciate. You’ll have nothing to prove, and nowhere to be (except on a boat).

Imagine days that begin with yoga on a shaded pergola terrace, followed by a fresh, local brunch overlooking the sea prepared by a private chef. From there boat to neighboring islands, hike the coastline, tour and taste olive oil, and enjoy plenty of free to explore, go to the beach, sea kayak, windsurf, book a massage, or wander into one of the island's villages or monasteries. Days wind down with restorative yoga and sunset dinners.

No yoga experience required. Just let your curiosity lead, and come with an open mind. All levels welcome. Perfect for solo travelers, friends, and couples.

 Croatia FAQs

  • Yes! A valid passport is required to enter Croatia. For most, the passport must be valid for at least three to six months beyond the planned date of departure.

  • Travel Insurance is not included in the price of the retreat, but is highly recommended for ultimate protection. It is an optional purchase that covers your investment with Compass Yoga Retreat for any unforeseen problems that may arise in life. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have sufficient coverage and comply with the terms of the applicable insurance plans. If you opt to pass on added insurance, your investment is bound by the terms and conditions of Compass Yoga Retreats.

  • The most common way to get to Brač Island is by taking a ferry from the mainland city of Split, Croatia. The primary route takes 50 minutes, and runs up to 14 times daily during peak season. Once you arrive at the port in Brač, you can take a taxi to the villa.

    We can help you arrange your taxis to/from the port once your travel plans have been booked.

  • Check in is at 4:00pm.

  • Check out is at 10:00am.

  • Meals are prepared onsite by a private chef featuring Croatian & global cuisine with local ingredients. Unlimited coffee, tea, fresh juices and fruit are available throughout the day. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated.

  • Tap water in Croatia is safe to drink and brush your teeth with.

  • Yes!

  • For Croatia, you need a Type F or Type C plug adapter. These are standard European, two-pin, round-pronged plugs.

    If your devices are not European standard, you will need an adapter. Most modern electronics (phones, laptops) are dual-voltage (100-240V), but high-power devices like hair dryers may need a converter if they are not dual-voltage.

  • Croatia accepts euros and most major credit cards (usually Visa, but not always AmEx and Discover). I recommend getting euros at the airport for tips, taxis, snacks, etc.

  • Tips are appreciated as a show of gratitude for good service. Cash is preferred to ensure staff receive it directly. 

    Restaurants: 5-10% is standard, though 15% is common for exceptionally good service in upscale tourist areas. Check your bill first as some places include a service charge.

    Cafes: It is customary to round up to the nearest whole euro (e.g., leaving €0.20 to €0.50 in change) when getting coffee.

    Taxis: Tipping is not generally expected. Rounding the fare up to the nearest whole euro is a kind gesture, especially if they help with luggage.

    Tour guides: Tips are highly recommended for tour guides. Suggested amount is €10-15 per traveler for a half-day tour, or €20 to €25 for a full-day tour.
