You can treat yourself to TLC at the local spa.

​

• Day 4 - Fire: Hike from Fortica to Hvar (Optional Boat Trip to “Hell's Islands") 
  
  Experience the fire element in Hvar's most sun-drenched town. Hike from the town fortress “Fortica” down the botanical-lined pathway and 182 steps to reach the town's main square. Once in the square, you can create your own itinerary: catch a water taxi to the nearby Pakleni (Hell's) Islands, where you can literally spend a day in hell while enjoying all the pleasures of paradise. Another option is to remain in town, where you can enjoy all the sights, smells, and sounds of the island's most bustling marble city by the sea.
   

• Day 5 - Air: Sea Adventure in Soline & Visit to Vrboska (or) Cycling Adventure from Soline to Jelsa
  
  Today we’ll return to Soline, where you can decide whether to enjoy an adventure by land or sea that helps you connect to the breeze. 
  
  You can choose to go sea kayaking or windsurfing, starting off at the northern coast of the Soline peninsula in a gorgeous channel that stretches between Hvar Island and the Island of Brac. If you’re talented enough to navigate the winds, you might just manage to glide your way over to the nearby Zecevo (Rabbit) Island before heading back to Soline for another day in this stunning resort.
  
  Alternatively, you can go on a cycling adventure, heading along the shady, aromatic coastline from Soline to Vrboska, a fisherman's village known as “Little Venice” with its quaint footbridges. After taking in the sights of Vrboska, you can continue along the coastline into Hvar’s youngest and most wind-exposed town, Jelsa, where you can refresh yourself with a scoop of the island's famous gelato before continuing onwards to the town's famed sandy-bottomed beaches for some swimming and relaxation before heading back to Soline just in time for the transfer back to the retreat (18 km. round trip).
   

• Day 6 - Ether: Yoga in a Surprise Location, Free Day in “Little Heaven on Earth" & Scenic Drive through the Lavender Villages topped off by a Spectacular Sunset
