IS THIS RETREAT FOR YOU?
If you are searching for a quiet authentic place surrounded with spectacular mountains, steps away from a medieval fortress, and only 2 km away from the beach - this is it.

Stari Bar is the hidden gem of Montenegro, offering you the unique opportunity to have both unspoiled nature and centuries of history at your arm's reach.

We will explore the local mountain paths, peaks, and meadows, hike to a hidden river pool, roam around the ruins of Stari Bar fortress and explore the narrow streets of old town, visit the spectacular Skadar Lake National Park, or have a chilled day at the beach. 

But you might simply feel like doing nothing but lounging in the garden of our hotel - a renovated old olive mill - with a small pool, a mountain stream, and a view of scenic stone bridge and mountains all around you

ACCOMMODATION
We will stay at a beautiful fully renovated stone house - an old olive mill turned into a stylish hostel The Grove. The house is located in Stari Bar, just below the impressive fortress.

It features spacious private rooms and dorms, huge common area with a fireplace, modern open kitchen, luscious garden with a plethora of trees and plants, and a plunge pool. A mountain creek gushing just in front of our yard, stone bridges and mountains in the background complete the postcard-like scenery. 

All rooms are newly furnished, completing the dreamy atmosphere of the place. The seven private rooms have en-suite bathrooms, while each of the two dorms has one bathroom. Each dorm will be shared by up to three people.

Maximum attendance at the retreat is 15 guests.

FOOD
We'll have two buffet-style meals a day - brunch and dinner, which will be served as full hearty meals. And in case you get hungry during the day, there are many charming restaurants 10mins away from our accommodation. 
​

The meals will be freshly prepared by our cook, made up mostly of local ingredients - local honey, fruits and vegetables, dairy, freshly baked bread every day. 


All the meals at the retreat will be vegetarian. If you have specific dietary requirements (e.g. vegan, gluten-free, etc.), it is essential that you mention that prior to booking. 

We will do our best to cater to all of your dietary needs, but we do need to know about them beforehand.

​YOGA & MEDITATION
On most days, we will practice two times a day either in our beautiful garden, or, in case of cold weather, on a yoga deck inside our hotel. 
​
​Marija teaches Hatha yoga, with a lot of emphasis on mindful movement, body awareness and the proper alignment of the body. The primary aim of these classes is to gain a better understanding of and be more appreciation for our bodies. Apart from asana (posture), we practice pranayama (breathing), as well as meditation in each class.

The classes are organized as workshops, during which we will explore different physical, mental and spiritual aspects of the practice.

The retreat is suitable for all levels. Beginners will have the chance to get the taste of yoga and build a strong foundation for their yogic journey. More experienced yogis will deepen their understanding and get some inspiration to further develop their practice

DAY BY DAY
Mornings are reserved for our practice, which will usually take around 2 hours. We'll have an early start, and after the class, we will have a freshy prepared brunch.

Afternoons are filled with various activities – we will go on hikes into the mountains, to admire some of the stunning viewpoints, or visit a tucked away river pool.

The Old Town of Stari Bar and its spectacular fortress are less than 200m away, waiting to be explored.

Skadar Lake National Park is about an hour away and we will pay it a visit for a day of kayaking, swimming, bird watching, visiting some of the historic monasteries on its shores, and paying a visit to the ruins of an ancient island prison.

Picture
​Adriatic Sea is merely 2km away, and there's always an option of having a chilled day at the beach, which we will probably have all to ourselves at this time of the year.

Evenings will see us back in the center, having another shorter class (1-1.5 hours) before delicious home cooked buffet-style dinner around 7.00 PM.  After dinner, there is free time for everybody.

All activities and classes are optional, and everybody is welcome to skip any of them any time they feel like it.
