A SUPER SPECIAL RITUAL RETREATS x ANNIE MOVES COLLABORATION
Ritual Retreats invites you to join Anabella Landa of Annie Moves for an expansive, creative, explorative journey in Croatia. Disconnect to reconnect - we’re firm believers in the notion that you need to fill up your own cup before you pour into others. That’s why we’re here.
Ritual Retreats is a purpose-driven company with values centered around mental health awareness, communicating the importance of health & wellness through conscious movement and fostering connection with a higher state of consciousness. Dive deeper into your personal practice with us and be inspired by a curated approach to balanced wellness. We’ll focus on internal connection through conversation, immersion into nature, and creative workshops in parallel with guided yoga and meditation practices.
As we adventure outward and bask in the culture and beauty of Croatia, you’ll feel compelled to venture inward, making space to attune yourself to your own inner-dialogue. This retreat is unlike any other in that the lens at which you’ll experience your time with us will be informed by purpose-driven conversations, mindfully-developed workshops, and authentic relationships. We’ll laugh a lot, release what we might be holding on to that isn't serving us, and create a safe space for all to reconnect with oneself. Enjoy world-class yoga, unwind over relaxing massages, walk through picturesque villages, swim in the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea and savor beautiful locally sourced seasonal food.
This is much more than just a retreat. It is a thoughtfully-curated respite integrating wellness and the best of Croatian culture alongside an incredible group of humans. Join us for the trip of a lifetime; find yourself feeling whole with a better sense of what makes you the beautiful individual that you are.
ABOUT BRAC, CROATIA
If your Mediterranean fantasies feature tranquil days by sapphire waters in the shade of ancient walled towns, Croatia is the place to be. Out of Croatia's 1,244 islands, the island of Brac is especially unique. Brac, often referred to as the Pearl of the Adriatic, is the largest island in Central Dalmatia (the Croatian Coast) and one of the sunniest locations in Europe. The island is adorned with several serene villages with limestone architecture, hilltop vineyards, ancient olive groves and dramatic Adriatic landscapes of steep cliffs, crystal clear waters, and lush pine forests.
Although Brac is famous for its radiant white limestone, used to build Diocletian’s Palace in Split, the island is most well-known for Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn), named one the Top 10 Most Beautiful Beaches in the World by Conde Nast Traveler. The beach extends like a "Golden Horn" into the Adriatic and has water framing two sides. The shape of the beach takes different forms depending on the wind.
In addition to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Brac is home to over one-million olive trees. Olive oil production runs deep in our blood and is steeped in the history and culture of our island.
We will be staying on the northern side of the island, in the seaside village of Sutivan.

FAQ's
How far is the house from the airport? What is the best way to get there?
The property is only a ~45 minute boat ride away from the Split Airport. If you fly into Split, we recommend selecting an airport transfer via private boat as an add-on, as this is really the BEST way to arrive. You will have 360 degree views of the islands and far less transitions than dealing with a ferry and/or taxis.
Which airport should I fly to?
Split International Airport (SPU).
How far is the house from the beach?
The property is first position to the water and approximately 50m to the water.
How is the weather in Croatia?
It's mostly warm and nice from May to October, however, and especially in the beginning and the end of the summer, it can be a bit unpredictable, with rains and chilly nights, bring some cozy layers of clothing.
Do I need to bring my yoga mat?
We have mats so no need to have that extra weight during your trip.
Do I need to have experience to join this retreat?
It´s always good to be familiarized with yoga before coming however it´s absolutely not necessary to have previous experience to join a retreat. If you are starting your yoga journey, you will be amazed by how much you can learn in such a short amount of time.
Am I required to attend all of the yoga classes?
Absolutely not! This is YOUR time to do what feels right and honest for YOU. We encourage you to engage and attend as much as you desire.
Can I arrive earlier than the check in time?
Our team is working very hard the hours prior to your arrival to prepare everything for your stay, so check-in time is from 4pm and not before.
Do people ever attend alone?
100%, yes! It is very common for people to attend the retreats independently. The retreat is a great opportunity to connect deeper with yourself and make new connections with incredible humans! If you're attending solo, we recommend booking a private room as the beds in our double rooms are shared.
What is the cancellation policy?
Deposits secure your spot on the trip and are not refundable or transferable. Refunds for the balance payments vary depending on timing. For cancellation requests submitted with more than 90 days of retreat date: 100% of total amount (less deposit) will be refunded. For cancellation requests submitted within 90 days of retreat date, 50% of total amount (less deposit) will be refunded. Cancellation requests within 60 days of the retreat: sorry but no refunds given, no exceptions. Nobody books a retreat with the intention of cancelling it, but unexpected events do occur, so please consider purchasing travel insurance that would cover a cancelled retreat (note: as times become more turbulent, it's important to be prepared). Exceptions cannot be made for any reason, including an act of God or Mother Nature, injury/illness, or personal emergencies. No refunds or credits will be granted for failure to attend, complete or for arriving late or leaving early.
