This Croatia multi activity holiday, an activity week based on the blissful island of Vis, is as much about adventure as chilling on this Dalmatian paradise. Designed for small groups
Kayak to secret coves, savor fine local food and wine and go swimming in stunning Adriatic bays. There is also plenty of biking to be had on Vis, the farthest inhabited island off the Croatian mainland. And morning Yoga and slacklining across turquoise waters is a big favorite with many of our guests.
This holiday is based on our traditional stone home, which we have lovingly restored and where there are four en-suite bedrooms, with plenty of open plan living areas, the most popular usually being the shady terraced ones outside. In particular at night at dinner, when the stars are unhindered by light pollution of a big city. We are located close to some of the island’s most wonderful beaches making easy access for our activities such as paddle boarding and sea kayaking but also for you to just have your own time enjoying the water.
Whatever activities you choose, you can rest assured that you will be well fed on this holiday. As well as being an island rich in local seasonal produce, there are agro tourism projects that we can visit and also some great island wines to sample.Please note that all the food provided at our home is vegetarian, but predominantly plant based. We include all breakfasts, four lunches, three dinners in the price of the holiday. We also love cake, so you can look forward to a freshly baked cake greeting you after a day of exploring Vis Island.
On this activity holiday we have plenty of adventures to share with you, but we usually devise an itinerary when we meet the group, chat with you about your interests and experience, and decide whether to focus more on kayaking and paddle boarding or hiking and biking . Creating a perfect mix for people who love the water as much as land. We don't like being too rigid about things on Vis and favor going with the flow, starting each day with a morning yoga stretch for those who would like to join in. Others may just like to wake up with a swim!
