EYD in Croatia & Slovenia
Vacation Retreat for Travelers Aged 18+
June 17 - 26, 2024
A Dream Vacation Retreat in the Balkan Peninsula
Enjoy ten magnificent days soaking up the rich cultural, natural, and historic offerings of Croatia and Slovenia. We will tour vibrant cities and remote landscapes between the Slovenian Alps and the Adriatic coast.
This experience will expose you to things you’ve only read about online or seen on travel programs. If you are craving culture, exploration, community, and connection, join us for this amazing getaway in these hot destinations. MVP International expertly planned our itinerary, so all you do is pack a bag and arrive to enjoy your Vacation Retreat. No work, no worries….just pure enrichment, relaxation, and fun!
YOGA, MINDFULNESS & MEDITATION
Enjoy yoga classes and mindfulness exercises in various beautiful locations in our destination cities. These movement sessions will nourish your body before or after exploring the Balkan landscape and will offer mental and heartful space to digest all that you experience.
CONNECT WITH NATURE
Hike with expert guides on magnificent paths through fairytale forests to arrive at incredible natural wonders like waterfalls, caves, and gorges. Relax on a private boat tour of Slovenia’s famous Lake Bled and soak in the flora and fauna of Triglav National Park. If you are a nature-lover, this is a dream getaway for you.
FOOD, DRINK & CULTURE
In true eat.YOGA.drink. spirit, our Vacation Retreat in Croatia and Slovenia will include tastings of local beer and wine alongside divine culinary experiences and breathtaking scenery. One highlight will be a guided food tour of Split, a quaint seaside port. Take in the music and local culture when you have free time to enjoy each city.
RELAXATION
While there is a lot to do and see on this magical Vacation Retreat, there will also be plenty of time to pick-your-own adventure or choose to rest by the coast and connect with the splendor of the scenery.
ACCOMMODATIONS
We will be staying in well-appointed four-star hotels in all of our destinations within Croatia and Slovenia. Each hotel will offer upscale comfort and plentiful amenities to suit your traveling needs. All standard rooms are double occupancy, but there is also a single occupancy rate offered. For double occupancy rooms, it is highly suggested that you travel with someone you know to ensure compatibility in your room. If you are traveling alone, you will be matched with another traveler. We will do our best to make it a good fit. If you are interested in triple occupancy rates (when available—triple occupancy only for three travelers who sign up together), please reach out to our travel hosts at MVP International.
