Wellness and indulgence at our holiday retreat
For us, this encompasses mind, body and spirit.
We offer wonderful healing therapies which are optional extras at our holiday retreat:-
Aromatherapy massage and facials , which help to release aches, pains and tension - in the most gloriously indulgent way possible, such a treat whilst on holiday in Croatia. Essential oils of flowers, herbs, trees, shrubs, grasses and roots are chosen to suit your health and emotional needs, and combined with expert massage to take you to a state of complete peace and relaxation.
Reflexology - using gentle pressure on the reflexes of the feet helps to release "deposits" which build up over time in those areas. These deposits cause energy blocks or imbalances in the body leading to pain and illness. Reflexology restores the free flow of energy into the body, leaving you feeling relaxed and de-stressed, and allowing the body to begin to heal itself. What a wonderful way to rejuvenate whilst on holiday in Istria.
Reiki (healing) Life force energy flowing through the practioner's hands helps to rebalance energy blocks which cause stress and pain. Many guests experience a trance-like state of peace and tranquillity. This allows them to come to terms with emotional disturbances, which in turn, allows them to let go of pain, and to heal mind, body and spirit. Reiki could help to make your retreat holiday in Croatia the most relaxing time.
EFT is a method of using acupressure points to clear emotional trauma which often is the cause of addictions, phobias, physical pain, limiting beliefs, weight gain and relationship difficulties. Gentle tapping methods are used to release blockages in the meridians. A relaxing and rejuvenating therapy to experience on your holiday retreat in Istria.
Indian Head massage - this wonderful upper back, neck, shoulder and head massage, re-energises the mind and body, releases neck and shoulder tension and helps you let go of confusion, creating clear thinking. It can help headaches and improves hair condition and growth. Let go of all that over thinking while on holiday in Croatia.
Outdoors Activities
There is plenty on offer on your holiday in Istria a choice of excursions and activities....
In Porec there is a colourful marina with boats of all shapes and sizes offering trips around the stunning coastline, or along the Limski Canal, a large fjord with thick woodland rising up either side, and, according to local legend, a favourite haunt of pirate and adventurer in Istria, Captain Morgan.
