Montenegro Magic :
A Yoga, Wellness & Nature Retreat
Montenegro is a tiny country nestled into the Balkans between Croatia and Albania. Its majestic landscapes lend to epic vistas, incredible hiking, serene water activities and offer the traveler a truly unique experience. From the moment you arrive into the Bay of Kotor you’ll be transported by a medieval village overlooking the most magical waters and mystical mountain range.
Our retreat to this magical little land highlights life on the water and all that entails. We will paddle to fantastical islands, spend a day boating around the nooks and crannies visiting caves, seaside dining spots, underwater wineries and enjoying the freshest seafood available. Our historical private villa overlooks the Bay and is nestled into the most charming village of Perast, a UNESCO heritage site. Explore the town of Kotor on our walking food tour, visit a working olive oil farm at the top of the ridge, climb 1,350 steps to the top of the city to admire the bird’s eye views.
Yoga and wellness will anchor each day. Practices will be guided by our incredible instructors, pamper yourself in the hot tub or sauna overlooking the Bay and opt for nature bathing as you hike to the top of Kotor on the most stunning hike in the area.
We are SO excited to share this incredible experience with you. Space is limited and this retreat will sell out quickly! Reserve your space below.

Travel Tips Guide :
Getting to Perast
Perast is a picturesque village in the Bay of Kotor, easily accessible from several airports in the region. Here are your options:
- Tivat Airport (TIV): The closest airport, just 20 minutes from Perast. From Tivat, you can take a taxi or pre-arranged transfer for a quick and scenic drive.
- Podgorica Airport (TGD): Montenegro’s capital airport, about 1.5 hours from Perast. Taxis or private transfers are available, or you can rent a car to enjoy the drive through Montenegro’s beautiful landscapes.
- Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) in Croatia: Approximately 1.5–2 hours away. Crossing the border into Montenegro is straightforward but can take extra time during peak travel seasons. Arrange a transfer or rent a car for this option.
Currency in Montenegro
The currency used in Montenegro is the Euro (EUR). Credit cards are widely accepted in most places, but it’s a good idea to carry some cash for small shops, cafes, or transportation in smaller towns like Perast.
What to Bring for a Retreat in May
May in Montenegro offers pleasant spring weather with mild temperatures. Here’s what to pack:
- Comfortable clothing for yoga and wellness sessions (breathable and stretchable fabrics).
- Layers: A light jacket, sweater, or scarf for cooler mornings and evenings.
- Casual attire for exploring Perast and nearby attractions.
- Hiking shoes or sturdy sneakers for trails and viewpoints.
- Swimwear for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, or boat trips.
- Sun protection: Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat.
- A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
- Daypack or backpack for excursions and hikes.
- Travel adapters (if needed) for European-style outlets (Type C or F).
Pro Tip
If flying into Dubrovnik or Podgorica, check visa requirements for crossing borders. It’s always a good idea to pre-arrange transfers for seamless travel to Perast, especially if you’re arriving late or with heavy luggage. If you would like help with airport transfers please let us know and we will try to pair travelers arriving at similar times together.
