GLO Sun & Soul Wellness Tour Croatia 

Zadar, Dalmatian Coast

6-Night, 7-Day

Overview

An Adventure in Culture, Movement & Mindfulness on the Dalmatian Coast  

If the soul could sing, it would surely be a song about the Adriatic Sea! This seven-day wellness tour & retreat on the Dalmatian Coast will have you second-guessing your departure date from the moment you land in Zadar. 

After a sunrise yoga session and a leisurely day on the grounds of Villa Premasole (literally translated to Towards the Sun), you will explore Historic Zadar City to take in the sounds of the famous Sea Organ and sights of the Salutation to the Sun. 

You will be guided around the serene landscapes of Zadar County. Here, you’ll have ample time to saunter through the welcoming village and historic towns. You’ll be taken off-the-beaten path with a local to explore the secrets of Dalmatia, tour the karst islands, taste exceptional local Mediterranean food, organic olive oil and wine, trek your way through the hills of Velebit Mountain and turquoise waters of UNESCO Plitvice Lakes. 

You will visit the famous crystal-clear waters and beaches of the Adriatic Sea where you’ll enjoy mindful movement, or test your inner balance with playful AcroYoga for the adventurous!

A dip in the healing thermal mud bath along with delicious daily GLO meals, and nightly guided meditations will nourish your body and mind, and leave your soul singing until your next visit to beautiful Croatia.

*It is important to note that in Europe, all guiding is based around local guides all of whom are licensed to work only in a particular city. As such, our leaders are able to provide orientation walks which will show you the layout of each town, city and parks, suggestions on things to see and do, including great local eating venues, introduce you to local friends, as well as the location of local services such as post offices and stores, but are unable to legally share historical facts and figures in public places. Your Group Leader will be able to provide general knowledge of Croatia, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects.

**Please note: This retreat does NOT include cost of meals for excursions out. The total of meals eaten out at local, fresh, farm-to-table restaurants is 3 lunches and 3 dinners. This gives everyone the opportunity to eat what they want (vegan or non-vegan). Of course, Grace is available and on-hand as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist + Cellular Nutrition Coach to advise anyone on eating healthy while travelling if they desire.
