CERAMIC WORKSHOPS
Our ceramic sessions take place over several mornings and afternoons in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.
You will explore hand-building techniques including pinching, coiling and soft slab building. With Ayse’s guidance, you will learn how to combine these techniques to create your own sculptural ceramic vessel.
No prior experience is required, only curiosity and the joy of creating with your hands.
YOGA SESSIONS
Yoga sessions take place on the terrace by the pool overlooking the Adriatic Sea, a gentle way to awaken the body and mind while surrounded by nature.
ISLAND EXPLORATIONS
Sea Kayaking in Pag Bay
One of the most beautiful ways to experience the island. This guided kayaking excursion takes you across the crystal-clear waters of Pag Bay to secluded coves where we will stop for refreshing swims in the Adriatic.
Pag Town Heritage Visit
Stroll through the charming 13th-century town of Pag, discover its rich history, taste local delicacies and walk to Zaton Bay for a memorable swim.
