Eat, Beach, Yoga: Croatia 2027
With Jackie Casal Mahrou and Kristin Gibowicz
June 5 - 12, 2027
Imagine waking to the sound of the Adriatic Sea, stepping onto your private balcony as the morning sun sparkles across impossibly clear turquoise water, and beginning your day with an energizing yoga practice overlooking one of Croatia’s most breathtaking coastlines.
Join YogaDownload’s Jackie Mahrou and Kristin Gibowicz for 8 unforgettable days and 7 magical nights on the stunning island of Hvar, Croatia—a place where ancient stone villages, hidden coves, fragrant lavender fields, and crystal-clear beaches create the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect, and simply enjoy life.
For one incredible week, our amazing seaside resort will be exclusively ours. Tucked into a peaceful seaside setting surrounded by lush Mediterranean gardens and panoramic ocean views, this beautiful boutique resort offers everything you need to completely unwind. Spend your afternoons swimming in the Adriatic, relaxing by the pool with a good book, wandering the charming waterfront villages, or simply soaking in the warm Croatian sunshine with nowhere else you need to be.
Each day begins with an uplifting morning yoga class to awaken your body and prepare you for the adventures ahead. As the sun begins to set over the sea, we’ll gather again for a relaxing evening practice designed to help you unwind, restore, and fully absorb the beauty of the day. Whether you’re relatively new to yoga or have been practicing for years, Jackie and Kristin create welcoming classes that allow everyone to participate at their own pace.
Throughout the week you’ll enjoy delicious daily breakfasts and dinners together, along with three included lunches featuring fresh local ingredients and Mediterranean flavors. Beyond the yoga, there will be plenty of opportunities to explore this extraordinary island through optional excursions, discover secluded beaches, stroll historic villages, enjoy fresh seafood overlooking the harbor, or simply spend the day doing absolutely nothing at all.
If you’ve been dreaming of combining exceptional yoga, breathtaking coastal scenery, unforgettable Mediterranean cuisine, and the kind of vacation you’ll remember for years to come, this is your invitation.
Come experience the magic of Croatia with us. We can’t wait to welcome you to Hvar.
