Itinerary
This sumptuous week is all about YOU! Offering the perfect union of exploration and rest, your week of Splendor will delight you with the creme de la creme of Croatia.

Prepare to be dazzled by the stunning beauty of the Dalmatian Coast and to explore her majesty by land and by sea; to get pampered with top-notch attention and caring service; to be fed meals with organic, local food made by expert and love (and wine with dinners); to embark upon amazing Yoga overlooking the sea and gardens and to feel the breeze of the Adriatic.

Our sub-theme for the week comes from the Croatian philosophy known as fjaka (fee-ya-kah). It has no direct translation in English, but the closest meaning is 'the sweetness of doing nothing' (or 'the subtle art of not giving a f*ck). We've carved out fjaka time on the schedule called SweetSpot and we invite you to practice this Croatian way of life that helps us to live happier, more peaceful, and fulfilling lives.

Below is a sample schedule with actual package inclusions; other excursions, yoga classes, and/or surprises may be added (if you've been on retreat with us, you already know this!). You will receive a full, detailed schedule upon your arrival to NINON.

Splendor!

Itinerary

What an amazing experience. A true welcoming similar to a family. Extremely well organized and enriching.

By Jennifer G for Splendor by the Sea: A Yoga Gathering in Croatia on Oct 01, 2025

Another five-star experience with Tra and Melissa's FLOW Yoga retreats. The setting in Croatia was at the wonderful NINON Design Boutique Hotel, about a 30 minute drive north of Dubrovnik. A history tour of the amazing city, an all-day boat excursion to visit several nearby islands, a cable car ride to a mountain top with a surprise off-road buggy experience, an unbelievably delicious dinner of traditional Croatian fare at a remote restaurant...all with perfect weather! Did I mention yoga? All levels of yogi welcomed (trust me on this one) during twice daily sessions. I also couldn't have been happier with the group of fellow travelers...not one of them was "that person". All in all, a great week of yoga, relaxation, and adventure!

A Truly Transformative Retreat FLOW Yoga Retreats, hosted by Melissa and Tra, exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much thought and care had gone into the planning. The retreat was beautifully organized—every detail was considered, creating a seamless experience that allowed us to fully relax and immerse ourselves. Melissa and Tra’s guidance was both inspiring and grounding. Their warmth, energy, and dedication to each participant made the entire retreat feel personal and deeply supportive. The schedule balanced yoga, connection, and downtime perfectly, with each practice thoughtfully designed to meet us where we were. The attention to detail was extraordinary—meals, accommodations, excursions, and even the little surprises throughout were curated with love and intention. It’s rare to feel so cared for in every way. I cannot recommend FLOW Yoga Retreats enough. If you are looking for a well-organized, rejuvenating, and heart-centered experience, Melissa and Tara deliver beyond expectations. I left feeling grateful, inspired, and already excited for the next retreat!
