Adventures in CroatiaJoin our long-awaited first retreat to Croatia in 2024! This carefully-crafted experience will combine cultural exploration, local adventures, fitness activities, and beachy relaxation! Our journey will begin in Split where we'll get to know the local history and culture while exploring by land and sea. Then we'll spend our final nights on Hvar Island, perfect for relaxing at a local winery and sailing on a sunset boat tour. We're thrilled to finally bring this retreat to life, and we can't wait to share it with you!
Fitness This all-levels fitness retreat will incorporate a variety of workouts ranging from strength training to conditioning to restorative stretching. Depending on our day's agenda, Coach Beth will offer one to two classes per day, typically starting with a higher-intensity class and ending with a more restorative class with emphasis on core work, stretching and myofascial release. Adventure There is just so much to do in Croatia, and on our Split and Hvar itinerary, we have put together our very favorite activities! We'll start the retreat in Split with a private walking tour of the historic city, visiting important sites and learning about where we will be spending the week. Once we have our bearings, we'll take a trip to Marjan Hill Park for a glorious hike with panoramic views. And to spice things up a bit, we'll go on a rafting trip along the Cetina River! Keep in mind that all activities are optional, so if you choose to skip one, that's not a problem! Relaxation Throughout the retreat, you'll find pockets of free time to relax or do some additional site seeing. Our time in Hvar is specifically designed to be more restful with down time with more relaxing activities like wine tasting and a boat tour of the Pakleni Islands |
