This experience is a gentle journey inward, created to nourish both body and mind.
Through yoga, meditation, and restorative practices, you’ll unwind, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of this remarkable coastal setting.

The retreat is hosted at Hotel Neptun, an elegant property in the heart of Brijuni National Park. Dating back to the Austro-Hungarian era, the hotel blends historic character with modern comfort.
Spacious sea-view rooms are air-conditioned and include a private bathroom, satellite TV, minibar, and more. Step onto your terrace and take in views of the crystal-blue sea, Veliki Brijun, the Fazana Channel, and the Istrian mainland.
Guests return year after year for the peace, natural beauty, and timeless atmosphere that make Brijuni so unforgettable.
Your stay includes a rich hotel breakfast each morning and two dinners at the hotel, with vegetarian and meat options available.
Two evenings are reserved for dining in local restaurants in Rovinj and Fazana, where you can savor Mediterranean flavors and regional specialties.
Brijuni Islands offer a world of natural beauty and timeless elegance, with the spirit of the 1960s still present in the atmosphere.
Once the private retreat of Tito, the islands are home to museums, ancient olive groves, and archaeological sites. Deer and peacocks roam freely, and the open Safari Park — including the famous elephant gifted by Indira Gandhi — adds a unique sense of wonder.
From secluded beaches to kayaking and underwater exploration, Brijuni is a place where history, nature, and adventure come together in harmony.
