Wellness Escape to Slovenia

Join a 4-day adventure in the serene villages of south-east Slovenia, where unspoiled countryside, yoga, meditation, hiking, wine tasting, and kayaking come together in a peaceful setting far from the usual tourist trail.

Here, you are invited to slow down and reconnect with nature, with others, and with the wider world around you. Recognized as one of the Global TOP 100 Sustainable Destinations in 2019 by the Green Destinations Foundation, this region offers the ideal backdrop for a meaningful wellness escape. Whether you come with loved ones, friends, or as a conscious solo traveler, you may find yourself naturally forming new connections in this calm rural environment.

Location

Bela Krajina, also known as White Carniola, is one of Slovenia’s hidden gems. Located in the country’s far south-east, it remains wonderfully off the beaten path. Its vivid green landscapes, pristine Kolpa River canyon, welcoming local people, winemaking traditions, and gentle pace of life create a setting that feels both restorative and memorable.

Accommodation

Kalska Hisa is a beautifully refurbished traditional guest farm in the village of Strekljevec, part of Semic, one of the three municipalities of Bela Krajina. The property includes an old renovated house, a new holiday barn built above a historic wine cellar, and a gazebo for versatile use. A broad porch and terrace offer peaceful places to relax in the fresh countryside air. With its thoughtfully designed interiors and comfortable guest rooms, this venue was chosen for its high standard and its welcoming, home-like atmosphere.

Your Host and Activities

Tanya Didovic, founder and yoga teacher at NeoYogic Movement, will share her passion for yoga, meditation, and her Slovenian homeland. Based in London, she will work alongside a local team to create an unforgettable wellbeing getaway. In addition to indoor and outdoor yoga, guests may choose from activities such as hiking, paragliding, cycling, a visit to a nearby thermal spa, reiki treatments, and more.

Food

Healthy eating is central to the wellbeing philosophy of this retreat. Meals are freshly prepared and include non-vegetarian, vegetarian, and vegan options, with organic and dairy-free choices where possible. Traditional specialties prepared by the local chef are also included. A thoughtful balance of raw and cooked dishes will leave you feeling nourished and refreshed. Pukka teas, fruit, and other wholesome treats will be available throughout your stay.
