8-Day Hiking & Yoga Wellness Escape in Montenegro's Luštica Peninsula

The retreat is set in a beautifully restored villa on the Luštica peninsula, a quiet area that's still largely undiscovered by tourists. You'll wake up to views over olive groves, walk 2km to the beach at Mirista or Žanjice, and be a 15-minute drive from the fishing village of Rose. It's a remote feeling, but close enough to Kotor, Budva, and Tivat that trips and transfers are easy.

Each day follows a similar pattern. Mornings start with a yoga practice on the garden shala, followed by brunch. The middle of the day is given over to activities – a guided hike in Lovćen National Park, a boat trip around the Kotor Fjord to the Blue Cave and Lady of the Rocks, or a day trip to Kotor to climb the Ladder of Kotor and explore the fortress. You also get free time to relax by the pool, hire an e-bike and explore the surrounding villages, or simply walk down to the beach and swim in the Adriatic.

Evenings bring a second yoga session, then dinner, which might be inside or out on the terrace depending on the weather. The food is a highlight – local, seasonal, and mostly vegetarian or vegan, with fresh bread, salads, and the occasional sweet treat like baklava. The team works closely with the chefs to make sure everything is healthy and energizing.

Helen, who runs the retreats, has a background in exercise physiology and nutrition, and has been teaching for over 16 years. She's joined by Harriet, who teaches a more vinyasa-based style. Together they create a welcoming atmosphere that's helped guests feel both challenged and looked after, as reflected in the consistently high reviews.
