← All Croatia retreatsAbout this selection
Vis was closed to foreigners until 1989 — the most remote of Croatia's major islands, with no mass tourism, extraordinary wine, and the bluest water in the Adriatic. Vis has a strong Ashtanga lineage. The Mysore-style morning practice, the self-paced approach, and the direct teacher-student relationship of this tradition suit the retreat culture here particularly well. May is one of Vis's best months for retreat — Split-Dalmatia County's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in May tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead. Luxury yoga retreats in Vis ($1,500–$3,000) typically include private villa accommodation, personalised attention from senior teachers, spa access, and excursions. The retreat centre quality at this level in Split-Dalmatia County is genuinely world-class.
