Suncokret Dream

Der Aufenthalt bei Evening und Stipe war ein wunderbarer Abschluss meiner Dalmatienreise.

Man ist dort in der Stille des Dorfes der Natur ganz nah und hört fast ausschließlich deren Geräusche, was ich sehr genießen konnte. Auch die Ausstattung des Zimmer, die von Stipe zubereiteten Mahlzeiten, die Yoga- und Meditationseinheiten mit Eve und die angebotenen Ausflüge konnten überzeugen. Beide sind sehr freundlich und wirklich gute Gastgeber. Danke für die schöne Erfahrung!

I've felt the calling to do something amazing for my spring break. And there we go: I've just got back from the most blissful, inspiring, nourishing few retreat days on lovely Hvar island. Suncokret has been a catalyst for a hopefully long-lasting love affair - with myself.

Honestly, where can I rate all of the above with six out of five stars?

The relaxed manner of the whole site, set the scene for a wonderfully rejuvenation stay. Evenings delivery was so calm and her voice guided the meditations beautifully. The yoga was strong but slow and purposeful, a delight!

A lot was perfect about this retreat: The retreat itself is small, maximum of 10 to 8 persons, this we were with 5. It is located on a beautiful spot in Hvar island, the little village Dol. Very quiet with beautiful views over the valley, the sea and Brac Island. Our yogainstructor, Evening (co-owner of the retreat) is an energetic yoga instructor, who gives great lessons, both energetic with lovely flows, or more relaxed with more time for introspection. Both guided by music, liked it a lot!

The yoga was offered twice a day: active yogalessons in the morning between 8 and 10 and then a relaxing yoga in the evening between 8 and 9.30. This part was great as Evening also explained the origins of yoga, loves to use tarotcards and also writing as a way for introspection.

Cook (and co-owner) Stipe cooked healthy, vegeterian and very tastefull breakfasts and diners, with local products. Meals were eaten outside in the garden, surrounded by green, the chickens and their cat. The room was small but perfect and offered everything I needed: a great bed, private shower and toilet and sunlight on my bed in the morning (not kidding!).

Evening & Stipe were so incredibly welcoming and I really truly felt like I was at home. A safe place to just allow yourself and any emotions to come, go and just be.

Es hat einfach alles gestimmt: die zauberhafte Unterkunft mit gemütlichem Bett, der Yoga-Unterricht von Bethany mit Meditationseinheiten, das sehr gute und leckere Essen von Stipe, die reibungslose Organisation und Begleitung durch Evening, die wunderbaren Ausflüge in die Umgebung bzw. an die Strände! Es ist wirklich sehr idyllisch in Dol und man kann sich in einer Woche sehr gut erholen und einen kleinen Eindruck von Kroatien/Hvar gewinnen... absolut empfehlenswert!!! :) Vielen Dank nochmal für die ereignisreiche und erholsame Woche Evening und Stipe!

Everything I hoped for.. and more to it !

Mona our yoga teacher was fabulous ! Very professionel and experienced. The balance between “body and soul” was perfect… and still there was room for laughter and joy.

The whole Suncoket retreat was very well organized and situated in very calm, relaxing and beautiful environments.

Everybody was so warm and friendly !

All together a very positive experience.

De combinatie van goede yoga en het genieten van de mooie natuur op Hvar.

Restful and restorative 5 days on Hvar with Evening and Stipe. They have set up a wonderful retreat at their home in Dol. The accommodation was well equipped and clean, food delicious and diverse and the yoga was spiritual. The transfers to different parts of the island were a perfect way to pass the day. The retreat felt like an extension of Evening and Stipe’s home rather than a commercial retreat; this was really something I appreciated.

Tanja was such a pleasure to have as a yoga teacher, sharing her amazing practice, philosophy, and knowledge of yoga with us. It was a wonderful week with Tanja, as she makes her yoga class challenging but yet attainable for all!

Beautiful scenery and good vibes. Loved all the animals and the kind and welcoming atmosphere.

This is such a beautiful and homely place to be! 🤗I'm so grateful for the experience. The morning yoga was revitalising and the meditation and journaling before bed was a nourishing and meaningful chance to connect with ourselves and our group.

The accommodation is homely and I loved the little walking tours of the area to learn about the plants nearby. Also loved seeing the animals so happy.

Our hosts Evening and Stipe were wonderful and we had everything we needed. Evening was responsive and understanding of something I had been upset about and she kindly helped me through a reiki treatment! Which I loved. This is an additional optional extra which I thoroughly recommend!

Yoga sessions of morning were nice

I was in need of doing something for myself to regain balance, and was drawn to Suncokrets energy while doing research. I am so happy that I went there. The location of the retreat is very cosy and authentic, and holds a special energy. The island of Hvar is beautiful, with amazing beaches with crystal clear water, and its the perfect place if you need a break. The food prepped by Stipe is healthy and full of fresh produce. Evening Marie is a very powerful yoga teacher, and I am full of honor to have recieved her guidance. The yoga sessions and meditations were really special and is designed to help you reconnect to your heart and soul. It was hard to leave this place, but I left feeling more rooted than in a long time - and I am so grateful for this experience. I aim to be back in the future.

I would highly recommend coming here if you feel lost, tired, disconnected, or just want to treat yourself to a wonderful break. Bring an open heart and soul, and you will not be disappointed.

Thank you, namaste!

The location is a charming house in a small village on the island Hvar. We had a wonderful retreat with very insightful Yoga classes with Marija. For me the personal guidance from Evening were the highlights of the week. It helped me to find a new perspective and ideas for my way forward. I am ever so grateful to have had such a experienced coach through this process. I also would like to thank the other ladies of the retreat. It was truly a delight to meet them all and I hope we will stay in touch.

Evening and her husband Stipe where very welcoming. We learned what Yoga really is, Yoga in the morning was great and Meditation in the evening. They made fresh meal every day for us and showed us the beautiful island called Hvar.

I fell very well and taken care of. Unfortunatelly i booked only the 3 days retreatment.

The room, lovely Details, quiteness of the place, natural and pure Environment, the Yoga from Mona with her writing, inspirations and a lovely, careful, charming and especially good Yoga lessons, looking for the needs of everyone in the group. Also the food, nearly all the places we got to see, driven and showed around, most of them outstanding, to be part of the family, small international very nice group, the air conditioning (after all) and the quality of Spiritual guideness of Evening.

This five day custom made retreat was just what I needed. After a couple of days of sightseeing I arrived in this warm bath that Evening and Stipe so carefully provide. The accomodation was as idyllic as peaceful and gave the perfect retreat factor after yoga, meditation and the excursions. Evening is a born yoga teacher and Stipe (who worked as a chef) makes the best healthy breakfasts and dinners. They make sure you have everything you need and want. When I'm considering a yoga retreat in the future, I will definitely think about returning to Suncokret.

This was my first yoga retreat and I am so thankful I chose this one.

The accommodation is situated in a beautiful peaceful village. The room is very clean and lovingly furnished. Every meal was freshly prepared using local ingredients and was delicious.

Evening and Stipe have put a lot of effort into making us all feel comfortable and allowing us to get to know the area. Various activities were organized such as SUP, kayaking, olive oil tasting…

Every yoga class with Tanja was varied and adapted to our level. I was able to learn a lot and, above all, find my inner peace and serenity.

I am so grateful for this wonderful experience and I highly recommend it I wish I could have stayed longer. Thank you again.

Thank you so much Evening and Stipe for this wonderful and magic week. Yoga with Evening was an unique experience and I am very grateful for the holistic and deep practice in a small group of two. Stipe provided us with incredibly delicious Croation food. An amazing retreat that I highly recommend.

Thank you Evening, Stipe and Tanja for a wonderful retreat under the sun☀️

The program was very versatile containing different yoga styles: vinyasa, hatha, kundalini, chakra, faceyoga. And we also had a chance to try this ”danceyoga” verve, which I liked a lot.

Daily outings to the beaches and villages nearby were really lovely and relaxing. It was great to see the surroundings and not to stay at the same place all the time.

The food was amazing, thank you Stipe! Thanks also to Coco, the ”yoga dog” providing us animal therapy. And of course to Gina, who lightened up our days with her cute bunnies. Namaste🙏

As a psychologist from the states, I was burnt out post COVID and desperately needing to recharge. We had yoga every morning at 8:30 (not too early!), brunch around 11, several hours each day to adventure at various locations on the island, wonderful dinners prepared by Stipe, and review of self-reflection exercises after dinner. Evening is so passionate about her work, and Stipe is an excellent chef! Evening helped me to develop my yoga practice, let go of past concerns that were no longer serving me, and develop a specific wellness plan for various aspects of my life going forward. I can’t say enough good things about this retreat! I wish all mental health professionals could take advantage of this fantastic opportunity :) As a result of the retreat, I feel like a better ME which translates into being a better wife, mother, friend, and psychologist.

2hrs yoga sessions every morning, organization, scenery, food, people

The instructor holds loads of theoretical yoga knowledge and teaches well. It is a family setting and cute animals all around

The Island is very pretty

From Dol place we rich easily various places and beach

Weather is perfect

Stipe, which is the owner with Evening, prepare food and bring the groupe in all places, been very carfully and smart with us

In liked everything! From the room to the yoga sessions to the company. This place was faultless as far as I was concerned.

I would highly recommend Suncrocket as a great balance between all the aspects that you would hope for in a retreat. From the mind and head space that the premises at Suncrocket allowed particularly, to Hvar Island and the day trips more generally. These combined allowed me to have a very focused, spiritual week that was absolutely in the moment and I am wholeheartedly greatful for this.

Thank you so much to our host Stipe & Evening and our instructor Anita. You were all great

This retreat is unique. I really liked the combination of yoga practice, meditation and theory units with the exploration of the island. A perfect mix to transfer the experience of relaxation and holistic connection into your everyday thoughts and experiences. I take home a impressive trip to my spiritual self and many nice experiences on the beautiful island of Hvar.

I enjoyed the variety of each day, the people, the location, the excellent veggie food, the daily adventures. The simplicity of the trip for me as everything was planned and organised to allow great relaxation for me.

Excellent accueil d'Evening et Stype.

Magnifiques prestations d'Anita Ilicic en yin yoga et chi gong.

Beaucoup de bonheur à découvrir cette île superbe.

The environment, the feeling of the place. The aim to share their place, love and know-how. I valued how they made sure we had the opportunity to see other parts of Hvar, how they took us places and brought us back.
