About the Retreat
Maslina Retreat, hosted by Chelsea Radovic of Olive and Spice Croatia, is more than just an escape. It’s a curated journey into slow luxury—inspired by the essence of cold-pressed olive oil, where the art of patience and depth take center stage. Here, you’ll enjoy a sanctuary that values introspection, authentic connection, and rejuvenation.
Our Logo: The Inverted Olive Tree
Our unique logo—a graceful, upside-down olive tree—represents our philosophy. The tree’s roots in the air symbolize a shift in perspective, inviting you to explore new angles, find balance, and create lasting connections. As we honor the tradition of the olive, our retreat encourages you to embrace slow, intentional growth and to plant deep roots in both business and life.
What to Expect
• Wellness and Relaxation, from restorative yoga to locally inspired spa treatments, designed to help you unwind and reconnect with yourself.
• Cultural Immersion through gourmet meals, olive oil tastings, and explorations of Istria’s landscapes and traditions.

Location
Istria is undiscovered, unexplored, like a sumptuous meal, each bite you take, you want more. Each new adventure fills you with a sense of wonder and gratitude to be here, like when you are sipping wine in the Istrian countryside, nestled in green, sun-drenched hills. Even rain feels different while you are truffle hunting in the forest. You love being you while you are discovering the islands by boat and are taken for dinner of scampi caught that morning. Perhaps you feel this wonder as you are wandering through the stony streets of Poreč or Rovinj. You feel amazed in the maze-like wonderful world of old Istrian towns. You don’t want to find the way out of this maze; it feels cozy, mesmerizing, wonderful and amazing. Come and see the bluest sea in the world, the Adriatic, with its scents, sounds, winds and colors.
