Overview

Wake up to the sparkling Adriatic

Brač Balance is a week-long escape to one of Croatia's most beautiful islands — a place of ancient olive groves, stone villages, crystal-clear waters and long, sun-drenched afternoons. You'll practice yoga poolside with open sea views, share communal meals prepared by a private chef, and explore the island on three included excursions.

This is the kind of retreat where your biggest decision each morning is whether to swim before or after yoga. Everything else is taken care of.

Good to Know

Brač Balance — frequently asked questions

Can I join as a solo traveler?

Yes — solo travel is very common on retreats. We can pair you with a roommate to share a double room at the shared rate, or you can book a single room for €200 more. Either way, you'll be warmly welcomed into the group.

Which airport should I fly into?

Split Airport (SPU) is the closest — about 30 minutes by car plus a 50-minute ferry crossing to Brač. Dubrovnik is about 3 hours away, Zadar about 2 hours. Croatia Airlines also operates a domestic flight from Zagreb to Brač Airport (55 minutes).

Can you accommodate dietary requirements?

Yes. Our private chef Filippo accommodates most dietary needs with advance notice. Gluten-free is available, but we cannot guarantee a strictly celiac-safe kitchen due to the risk of cross-contamination.

Are the ferry tickets to Brač included?

The round-trip transfer from Split ferry port to the villa is included. We arrange the ferry crossing for you — just send us your arrival time and we'll handle it.

What is the cancellation policy?

Payments are non-refundable. However, you may transfer your booking and all payments to another person at any time. Contact us to arrange the transfer.
