Join us for an unforgettable all-female escape on the Adriatic coast. This is Dubrovnik the way it should be experienced. Not rushed, not over-scheduled, not a highlight reel. A small group of women, a beautiful private villa, and six days that move at exactly the right pace.
We’ve worked with local experts to build an itinerary that takes you beyond the tourist path without ever losing the beauty of it. Oysters straight from the water in Pelješac, a sunrise hike up Mount Srd with breakfast at the top, boat days on the Adriatic, wine tasting in the vineyards of Konavle and evenings that start with cocktails at the villa and end somewhere in the Old Town.
We’ve taken care of every detail. All you need to do is book that flight, pack a bag and show up.

Your Accommodation
Tucked into the village of Brsečine along the Dubrovnik Riviera, our home for the week is a traditional Croatian stone villa with views straight out to the Elaphiti Islands. Perfectly positioned between the energy of Dubrovnik’s Old Town and the oyster waters of Ston, it is the kind of place that makes you want to wake up early and stay up late.
You’ll have your own beautiful room to come back to at the end of each day. 3 en-suite rooms and 2 beautiful rooms with a shared bathroom. Each room tastefully decorated and with plenty of space to unpack, unwind and feel relaxed.
The heart of the villa is the terrace. This is where we’ll share meals, linger over long dinners, raise a sundowner as the sun drops behind the islands and start quiet mornings with a coffee watching the water. There’s a heated pool for whenever the mood strikes, a lounge area to sink into and simple, tasteful interiors inside for those slower moments between adventures.
It is not just a place to sleep. It is a big part of the experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What airport should I fly into?
Fly into Dubrovnik International Airport (DBV). From there, we will arrange private transfers to transport you to our accommodation for the trip.
When should I arrive?
For the 22 – 27 August 2026 trip, please arrive on or before 22nd August 2026 to ensure you do not miss anything.
For the 1 – 6 September 2026 trip, please arrive on or before 1st September 2026.
What should I pack?
We will provide a full suggested packing list upon booking. However, as it will be summer in Croatia during your trip, we suggest light weight clothing, and something warm for the evenings in case it gets chilly. In addition, pack swimsuits should you wish to participate in swimming activities and sunscreen to protect you from the sun.
What is the weather like in Dubrovnik in August and September?
August in Dubrovnik is hot, sunny, and dry, with daily highs typically reaching 28℃ to 31℃ (82℉ – 88℉) and very little rain. It is the peak of summer, featuring about 11–13 hours of daily sunshine, warm sea temperatures around 25℃ (77℉), and pleasant, balmy evenings.
The average daily temperature in September ranges from 16-19°C (61℉ – 67℉), with the highest still a lovely 24°C (about 75°F), and the lowest temperature is only around 13°C (about 56°F). The average sea temperature in September is around 23°C (about 73°F), making it still ideal beach weather.
What are the new travel requirements for Europe?
From late 2026, all travelers from visa-exempt countries, including the U.S., Canada, U.K., and Australia, will need an ETIAS permit to visit most of Europe. Please keep an eye on these rules as the departure date draws closer, and feel free to email us with any enquiries.
What is the activity level of this trip?
We require that everyone traveling with us be able to comfortably walk for 3-5 miles per day, unassisted, and without difficulty can navigate stairs, uneven streets or paths, and occasional steep terrain. Most of our trips require this level of physical mobility and fitness, especially when visiting historic towns and landmarks where vehicle access is limited and walking often offers the best experience. In addition, most of our accommodation has only stair access to get to your room and other areas of the accommodation.

Day 1 - Saturday 22 August
Welcome to Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik, the Pearl of the Adriatic, is yours for the next five nights. A private transfer will collect you from Dubrovnik Airport (or your local accommodation if you’ve come early) and bring you straight to our fabulous Soladea Villa.
Unpack, settle in, find your spot by the pool. Let the pace of home slowly fall away.
As the light turns golden and the sun starts to melt into the islands, we gather on the terrace for our special Soladea Welcome BBQ prepared by our local chef. Enjoy cold drinks, good music, and the kind of conversation that runs well past when it should have stopped. Raise a glass. Your adventure starts now.
Meals Included: Light Snacks, Dinner (drinks included).
Activities: Welcome Dinner
Day 2 - Sunday 23 August
Old Town Culture & Croatian Cooking
Mornings here are not to be rushed.
When you’re ready, Dubrovnik Old Town is waiting. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, and somehow even better when you’re wandering it without a plan. Walk the ancient city walls with terracotta rooftops below you and the Adriatic stretching out beyond. Find a courtyard for a long, lazy lunch. Take a short boat ride over to Lokrum Island to swim, walk and properly switch off for a few hours.
In the evening, we’ll join Mikki for a Croatian cooking class in an intimate, homely setting. We’ll cook traditional (and delicious!) dishes together, eat together, and somewhere between the food, the wine (and rakia) and the stories, the group finds its rhythm.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Activities: Dubrovnik Old Town, Old Town Walls, Cooking class
Day 3 - Monday 24 August
Island Escape & Beach Evening
We take to the water early and spend the day exploring the Elaphiti Islands by private boat. Hidden bays, caves, snorkelling, water that shifts from turquoise to deep blue depending on where you look, and absolutely nowhere to be. This is the Adriatic at its best.
Enjoy a relaxed island lunch before heading back toward the villa in the late afternoon, sun-kissed and content from a full day on the water.
Take your time freshening up before heading to our private beach dinner as the sun goes down. The most perfect way to end the day: pizza, wine, candles, music and sand between your toes.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Activities: Elaphiti Island hopping
Day 4 - Tuesday 25 August
Sunrise Hike & Oyster Experience
Today, we rise before the city does. The hike up Mount Srđ is early and worth every step. As the light breaks over Dubrovnik and the islands begin to catch the first gold of the morning, there is a stillness up there that is hard to put into words. Something about it stays with you.
The rest of the day is entirely your own. Sleep it off poolside, book a treatment, read your book cover to cover, head down to the beach. No plans, no obligations.
Later we follow the coast to the village of Ston, famous for some of the finest oysters in the Adriatic. We arrive as the sun is lowering and settle in for a tasting by the water. Local wine, homemade snacks, oysters and mussels pulled fresh from the sea, and a setting so quietly beautiful it almost feels like it shouldn’t exist (but it does, and we’ve found it just for you).
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Activities: Mount Srd, Ston, Oyster Tasting
Day 5 - Wednesday 26 August
Sound Bath & Vineyard Dinner
The last full day begins on the terrace, softly. A gentle yoga session to slow the mind down and let you arrive fully in the final stretch of the week. The day opens up and gives you back your time – the pool, the sun, the view, the book you’ve been meaning to finish.
As evening falls, we drive out into the wine region where the vineyards reach into the hills and the world feels quieter, older, unhurried. A table among the vines and olive trees, local wine poured generously, seasonal food cooked simply and well. The group around you has changed since that first dinner on the terrace, and you feel it in the easiness of the evening.
A beautiful way to close the week.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Activities: Yoga, Wine Tasting, Vineyard Dinner
Day 6 - Thursday 27 August
Final Morning Together
Nobody is in a hurry this morning (unless you have a flight to catch), and that’s exactly the point.
Breakfast on the terrace, coffee going cold because the conversation is too good to interrupt. Five days ago you arrived as strangers. This morning, the goodbye takes longer than expected, and that says everything.
The week has done what it was supposed to do. Something in you has slowed down, opened up, settled.
You leave with a slower heartbeat, new friends, and the kind of memories that find you on an ordinary Tuesday and pull you straight back here.
Private transfers will carry you to the airport or local post-retreat accommodation when you’re ready.
By now, we think you’ve found your Soladea. We hope you’ll come back and find it again.
