What you are signing up for

Exactly 7 days and 6 nights, Saturday to Friday. We pick you up in Split at 12:45 on Saturday, and bring you back to Split on Friday — which usually means cheaper flights home than a weekend departure.

No. Most guests had never boxed before. Experience and top fitness are not required — the week is built around where you are. And if you ever need a morning off, resting is part of the program too.

English. We've had guests from all over the world, so the whole week — training, meals, fire talks — runs in English. Don't worry about being perfect; nobody is.

After we talk, your place is held with a 25% deposit. The deposit is non-refundable — but it never expires: if life gets in the way, you can use it for any future retreat, forever.

It's up to you, but we recommend it. Travel insurance that covers outdoor activities is always a good idea for a week like this.

The week is all-inclusive — accommodation, all meals, transport from Split and back, training, tours and workshops. The price is on request: write to me and I'll send it with everything it covers.

Both work. Most people come solo and leave with a tribe — the group is never bigger than eight. If you'd rather share the week with a friend, bring them along.

The house has two showers, heated by a solar boiler, and three toilets — two inside, one in the summer kitchen. Water comes from our cistern, so showers stay short and army-style. Honestly: it's part of the reset. Drinking water comes from the well down the hill — the best water on Svilaja.

Yes. The house runs on solar power — there is electricity for lights, fridges and charging your phone. What we don't have is Wi-Fi: the signal is there, but we choose to stay offline.

There is homemade local wine at dinner. This is not a sober bootcamp — it's a mountain week. Water, food, fire and early mornings do most of the work anyway.

Tamara, our cook from the village, prepares organic homegrown food — peka, bread, vegetables from the gardens. Vegan and vegetarian options are no problem. When you join, a short form asks about food and habits so she can plan the menu around you.

Two weeks ran this summer and the 2027 dates are not fixed yet. Send an inquiry now and you go on the list — you'll hear from me first, before the dates go public.
