10 reasons why Vis is a yoga retreat island

It has so much to offer that you can get to see and feel for years to come. The south, secret secluded paradise beach, is one of the best in the World. Do you need more to tackle your senses?
Vogue France lists Vis among ten must-visit islands
When a very influential magazine ranks the Croatian island Vis among the ten must visit islands, people stand up and take notice.
And it’s not just important for visitors and tourism today.
Previously, Vis Island was crucial to the leader Tito. After 1945, Vis was closed to tourism by the Yugoslav army as it was used as a major naval base. It was only re-opened to foreigners in 1989, and was part of the Croatia that gained independence in 1991.
All the navy/military buildings on the island were abandoned at that time, although many of them can be visited today – including the cave in which Tito ‘hid’ in during World War II.
Then the British loved it too. Soldiers lived there with their military base being on the island. It even has a cricket playground.
So many tourists visit Vis during the holiday season most of them returning annually, each year coming back for more!

Thanks to its laidback location, visit Vis and you feel like you are stepping into a higher and yet slower reality frequency. In the middle of the Adriatic Sea, almost halfway to Italy Vis is the most remote and thought of by many locals and visitors alike as the most mysterious of Croatia’s islands.
Visiting the island of yoga, slowly your worries melt away as your perspective of every day life changes. Closed off to the rest of the world for decades, this island boasts a unique and rich history, offering a glimpse into life in authentic Dalmatia.

The Blue cave is a place not to be missed for its blue shining colour at the bottom of the sea cave. The cave is famous for the mesmerising blue light filling the space at a certain time of day, when the sunlight hits the sea surface through an opening on the vault.
The light reflects off the water and the white seabed, wrapping the whole interior in a layer of iridescent blue.
