6 Day Yoga Holiday and Sailing Odyssey in Croatia

Step into a liberating wellness experience at sea, where yoga, breathwork, meditation, and other restorative practices unfold in the open air aboard a fully crewed private sailing yacht. Surrounded by the Adriatic’s shifting blues, warm sunshine, and the scent of the ocean, you’ll have space to reconnect with yourself and the natural world. With exceptional sailing, nourishing food, and a setting designed to awaken the senses, this retreat offers the chance to feel refreshed, inspired, and deeply present.

Croatia’s coastline, stretching across 1,250 miles of rugged Adriatic beauty, is a dream for sailing. In Southern Dalmatia, islands such as Hvar, the Paklinski Islands, Brac, and Vis create an unforgettable backdrop for an immersive journey. The yoga program is thoughtfully woven into the cruise, with selected techniques timed to support the rhythm of each day and the needs of the group, allowing every moment of the adventure to be lived fully.

You will stay on board a brand new, fully crewed 5-cabin Sun Odyssey 519 sailing yacht, accommodating up to 12 guests including the 4-member crew. Sharing life on a yacht invites you beyond your comfort zone, with limited yet clean and functional space encouraging connection and deeper bonds among travelers from different cultures and backgrounds. The yacht is known for its elegance, seaworthy performance, and outstanding comfort. Cabins feature twin share beds.

Food is an important part of the experience. Onboard chef Ranko prepares daily brunch, smoothies, and afternoon snacks, with non-vegetarian, vegetarian, and vegan options, organic and dairy-free where possible, all with a Mediterranean influence. A thoughtful balance of raw and cooked dishes helps you feel nourished and renewed. For a taste of local cuisine, some meals are enjoyed in restaurants or occasionally in a single house in a secluded cove, where seafood specialties are served at their freshest. Herbal teas, water, and fresh fruit are available throughout the retreat.

With attentive care from a four-person crew, you’ll be supported throughout a journey designed to open up physical, emotional, and spiritual freedom.

MONDAY

Welcome ceremony in Trogir (Seget base), a UNESCO World Heritage site, in the early afternoon, followed by departure the same day toward the island of Brac or Solta once all guests have arrived.

TUESDAY TO SATURDAY

Sailing through the islands of Southern Dalmatia with no fixed itinerary, staying true to the spirit of sailing. Possible destinations include Hvar, Vis, the Paklinski Islands, and Drevnik. Each day brings a new anchorage, shaped by wind, weather, and the spontaneity of the journey. Skipper Max will guide the group to beautiful blue-water lagoons and uninhabited bays, away from the crowds, while also visiting lively historic island towns and marinas. Yoga and meditation may take place on the yacht, on beaches, wooden piers, or in remote natural surroundings, as the group flows together in every sense.

SATURDAY

Morning return to the Trogir base. Depending on airport transfer timing, there may be a visit to the historic town center, a pedestrian-only district that feels like an open-air museum, with finely carved facades, elegant churches and palaces, Renaissance gates, and medieval streets showcasing Dalmatian art and architecture.
