FAQ
What do i need to bring?
- A good pair of trainers/hiking shoes would be great, especially if you would like to do some relatively intense hiking, swim suit, hat and sunglasses . We will supply yoga mats, blocks and bolsters. No need to bring towels.
What will the weather be like?
- It should be warm if not hot 25 - 35 celsius throughout the day. Bring some thicker clothes for evenings though - for eating al fresco - and in case things get a bit stormy.
How do I get there?
- Ryanair flies from Berlin Brandenburg, Brussels Charleroi, London Stansted, Krakow and a bunch of other European airports to Podgorica (the capital city), Many other airlines fly to Podgorica and Tivat, check AIRPORT web page. Both airports are about 60 min - 90min away depending on traffic. When you settle up on Montenegrin soil, we take care of your transport. Just give us details of your travel plan and we will do our best to get you to the Grove with no stress. If you are wanting to make a holiday of it, it’s easy to get down the coast from Croatia - a lot of our customers fly in to Dubrovnik, and then get the bus down to Bar, often stopping in Kotor or Budva to see the old walled towns there. If you really want the adventure, there is a beautiful train ride to/from Belgrade which takes 10-12 hours.

- Your accommodation and meals are all included as are the twice-daily yoga/meditation sessions. Tourist taxes also included. Daily adventures are all included and much more as a surprise...

What is there to do?
- The Grove lies beneath the stunning castle of Stari Bar, and next to the vibrant village with bars, shops, cafes and restaurants. The garden is large enough for lawn games, and a river flows by the house, perfect for a nippy dip. There is a naturally fed plunge pool and many beautiful walks in to the olive groves and beyond to the mountains. Nearby are outdoor swimming pools and secluded river swimming holes. The coast is 4km away, and we can advise on which beach may be best for you to visit. Further afield lie beautiful coastal towns, the bewitching Lake Skadar and other naturally stunning areas. We hope to show you some of the best that Montenegro has to offer, but if you wish to take a day to yourself and visit a particular place, we will happily advise and organise that for you.
