Daily itinerary

Day 1 – Arrival & Welcome
Arrive in Croatia and transfer to our five-star oceanfront resort. Unpack, exhale, and let the week unfold. Spend the afternoon by the pools or sea, enjoy the spa, or do absolutely nothing at all. In the evening, we’ll gather for a welcome dinner with champagne by the pool, celebrating the beginning of our time together as the sun melts into the Adriatic.

Day 2 – Ease In & Zadar Discovery
This morning is intentionally slow. Enjoy the facilities at one of Europe's largest spas, take a dip in the Adriatic sea or a relax with a quiet coffee with a view. In the afternoon, we’ll explore the historic city of Zadar, getting comfortably oriented for those who wish to return later in the week. You’ll experience the mesmerizing Sea Organ, where the movement of the waves creates hauntingly beautiful music, followed by a relaxed local dinner in the city.

Day 3 – A Taste of the Land
Another gentle morning to enjoy the resort and coastline. After a light lunch, we’ll begin a curated tasting journey celebrating the traditions of this region. Visit the Nin Salt Works to discover the secrets of traditional organic salt production, a craft rooted in over 1,500 years of tradition, with a guided tour and tastings. Continue to a local cherry farm where you’ll sample cherry-based delicacies including jams, liqueurs, balsamic vinegar, and more, alongside local cheeses. We’ll end the day at the King’s Vineyard with a wine tasting and thoughtfully prepared local platter, lingering as the sun sets over the vineyard.

Day 4 – Adriatic by Private Yacht
Today is pure magic. Spend the day aboard a luxurious private boat cruising the Croatian Adriatic. We’ll explore the stunning Kornati National Park and Telašćica Nature Park, cruising through a magical world of 89 islands, islets, and reefs. Enjoy lunch on a private beach, then spend the afternoon swimming and snorkeling in crystal-clear Adriatic waters — far from the crowds, fully immersed in the moment.

Day 5 – Free Day or Optional Kayaking
Today is yours to shape. Relax by the pool, indulge in the resort’s striking black and white spa complex spanning over 6,000 square meters, walk along the shoreline, or return to Zadar to explore at your own pace. For those craving movement and adventure, an optional kayaking experience is available for an additional fee.

Day 6 – Plitvice National Park
A soul-stirring day in nature. We’ll journey to Plitvice National Park, a breathtaking landscape of waterfalls, rivers, and lush greenery. Walk along wooden pathways that glide over the water and take in one of Croatia’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders.

Day 7 – Free Exploration & Farewell Gathering
Enjoy one final free day to relax, revisit your favorite spots, or indulge once more in the resort’s spa. In the evening, we’ll come together for a farewell dinner at the hotel — a chance to reflect, connect, and celebrate an unforgettable week.

Day 8 – Departure
After breakfast, we’ll transfer to the airport and say our goodbyes, carrying the calm, connection, and memories of Croatia with us.

Why join us?
We've done the research for you and we'll be there to take care of every detail.

This journey is special because we experienced it first.

Demecia and Kristi spent time on the ground in Croatia — staying at the resort, meeting local partners, tasting the food and wine, and thoughtfully shaping each day — to ensure this itinerary flows beautifully and feels as good as it looks.

By staying in one location for the entire week, you won’t be packing and unpacking or spending your days in transit. Instead, you’ll settle in, immerse yourself in the destination, and experience Croatia at a natural, unhurried pace.

You’ll travel with a small group of no more than 15 guests, enjoy private tours, and be guided by trusted local expert Krešco, whose deep connection to the region brings Croatia to life in a way larger tours simply can’t.

This is travel with intention — supporting local businesses, honoring the place you’re visiting, and creating space for connection, ease, and unforgettable moments.

We’ve done the exploring, the tasting, and the refining — so all you have to do is arrive and enjoy.
