Best Yoga Retreats
Croatia

Our retreats take place across some of Croatia's most beautiful locations. Currently we host retreats on the island of Šolta, set in a beachfront luxury villa overlooking Nečujam Bay near Split and Trogir. We are also preparing a retreat near the Plitvice Lakes, surrounded by ancient forests and cascading waterfalls. Each location is carefully chosen for its natural beauty, privacy, and distance from busy tourist spots.

Every Veera retreat includes accommodation, daily yoga sessions, afternoon mobility workshops, nutritious meals, yoga mats and props, and group excursions. Specific inclusions vary by retreat location, so check each retreat page for full details. We aim to cover everything you need so you can focus entirely on your practice and relaxation.

Not at all. Our retreats welcome all levels, from complete beginners to advanced practitioners. Our teacher Jelena, with over 10 years of international experience, provides personalized guidance so everyone practices at their own pace. For beginners, she offers alternatives to challenging poses and gives hands on assistance every step of the way. If you have injuries or special medical conditions, please contact us to discuss whether a retreat will be suitable for you.

We intentionally keep groups small, typically 7 to 8 participants, to ensure an intimate setting with personalized attention during every session. This allows for meaningful 1:1 adjustments and creates a supportive community atmosphere throughout the retreat.

Our retreats are built around morning yoga flows and afternoon mobility sessions. Each morning begins with an energising yoga flow on the sea view deck, followed by themed mobility workshops covering topics like vinyasa transitions, hip openers, and inversions. Jelena tailors every session to the group, offering alternatives and hands-on guidance so the practice suits all levels.

Jelena Lizde is an experienced yoga teacher with over 10 years of international teaching experience, having guided thousands of students across studios, retreats, festivals, and private settings. She is the director of a yoga shala in Split, Croatia, and travels to India each year to deepen her practice. She is also a certified Thai massage therapist with a deep understanding of human anatomy, which allows her to provide effective and mindful adjustments.

We run retreats during the warmer months when the Croatian coast and islands are at their best. Check our Retreats page for current dates, availability, and pricing. We recommend booking early as group sizes are limited and spots fill quickly.

We offer flexible booking with free cancellation up to a set date before each retreat. A small deposit is required to reserve your spot, and there are no booking or credit card fees. Check each retreat page for specific cancellation deadlines and deposit amounts.

We serve healthy vegan and vegetarian food, freshly prepared at each retreat location. You can expect nourishing meals such as salads, bowls, and soups made with fresh local ingredients. Specific meal schedules and details vary by retreat, so check the individual retreat page for more information.
