THE EXPERIENCE

Rovinj sits on the west coast of the Istrian peninsula, overlooking a gorgeous archipelago, nestled into the Adriatic Sea.

At the heart of this retreat is the Grand Park Hotel, where every detail is designed for your comfort. “The Grand Park Hotel sees elegant contemporary architecture set against centuries-old woodland and a blissful coastal location. It offers fantastic views of Rovinj’s Old Town across the bay, a spa with spectacular rooftop pools, and seven bars and restaurants.” The Telegraph, UK

Indulge in a rooftop spa boasting six unique saunas, a heated swimming pool, and rejuvenating treatments featuring locally sourced herbs. Wander through the stunning garden adorned with 30,000 artfully selected Mediterranean plants. Culinary delights await at seven restaurants, including the Michelin Star phenomenon, Algi Amici.

Gourmet breakfast is available till noon, after which you can embark on your own journey through seven different restaurants.  And, if you want a change of scenery, stroll to Rovinj old town for a local food experience.

When not indulging in the hotel’s pampering amenities, you can reconnect with nature walking by the sea and to the city of Rovinj, known as “the Pearl of Istria.” Famous for its colorful pebble streets, art galleries, and bohemian vibes, Rovinj is also known as the most romantic city on the Adriatic coast.

(1) Wine & food tour in Istria with stops at Lim Bay and Motovun
(2) Discovery tour of Rovinj
(3) Sunset boat tour 

Other optional activities include:
Kayak Tour around Red Island (famous for cliff jumping!)
Massage Treatments

NOVA RETREATS

Nova Retreats proudly curates small group wellness retreats filled with connection, joy, and authentic experiences.  We welcome travellers who are able to go with the flow and who are interested in embracing and respecting different countries, cultures, and customs.  Each trip is thoughtfully planned and lovingly led by sole owner, operator, and founder, Melanie Caines, who proudly collaborates with beautiful venues and amazing yoga teachers for a truly unforgettable and rejuvenating week.  Since 2014, Melanie has curated and hosted over 50 retreats for hundreds of people from all over the world. 

At Nova Retreats we recognize that travel is a privilege: we welcome the opportunity to experience and embrace different cultures and customs, offering us an exciting departure from what we’re used to at home.  We will do everything we can to ensure your week with us is a comfortable and joyous journey and we ask you to please remember that some things are out of our control; some days may be hotter than you like, or cooler than you like, wetter or windier than you’d like. You may be walking on cobblestones, there could be hills or stairs to climb; you may be introduced to new tastes and types of food.  And this is why we travel: to shift our perspective, to understand, to learn, to grow, to expand our horizons, to see the world.  

Magic happens when we give ourselves time and space, outside our daily routines and lives, to think, breathe, experience, & enjoy.  We look forward to sharing that magic with you.
