Nestled on the cusp of the forest, within the charming village of Mavrovo, lies the villa for this retreat - a true treasure trove of untamed accommodations. Enveloped by natural splendor, the villa's strategic position presents an array of outdoor pursuits, along with an inviting haven for communal gatherings and suites graced by sweeping vistas of the serene lake.
The villa offers an exceptional level of comfort, with two floors comprising a total of five rooms. The rooms, all exuding an inviting coziness, feature double beds and allow ample room for supplementary mattresses if required. With the inclusion of three bathrooms and two well-equipped kitchens and relaxing living areas, convenience meets practicality seamlessly.
The central hub for dining can be found on the second floor, affording a vantage point that overlooks the enchanting expanse of Mavrovo Lake. A spacious balcony on this floor, cocooned by verdant trees and boasting an awe-inspiring panorama, serves as the designated practice space.
Adjacent to this is a resplendent garden adorned with vibrant blooms, creating an atmosphere of tranquility. The property caters exceptionally well to groups seeking shared experiences.
The outdoor area encompasses a campfire enclave, offering a gathering point under the stars. A pool provides refreshment during the inviting phases of weather, while the surrounding verdure and ample space create an inviting canvas for connection and contemplation.
It will be a home away from home, a serene space for connection, reflection, and yoga.
The coming together of like-minded people can create the most beautiful of experiences. Certainly, this is the same in the practice of yoga. This connection will be nurtured and nourished through moments in the itinerary such as circle time around the campfire and morning intention setting sessions. Revel in the magical synergy of yoga, adventure, and nature in the beautiful Mavrovo National Park. Join on a journey where spirit and nature come into harmony. Be part of this uplifting experience and allow your mind and body to indulge in the natural beauty. Your hosts will make sure that all together, you and the rest of the group share in a magical experience.
Tour to one of the nearby peaks led by a guide explaining the local flora and fauna, releasing all tension through the practice of ‘forest bathing,’ while enjoying the untouched nature of the Mavrovo National Park.
Lake Mavrovsko is situated at 1,200 meters above sea level. On the tour, you will witness high deciduous and coniferous forests rising on all sides, which are reflected in the clear lake water. The track is 31 kilometers long and easily accessible by bike. One of the most impressive hidden gems of this region, the submerged church built in 1850, will take your breath away.
To add an extra touch of wilderness to this retreat, the hosts are proposing a challenging, yet invigorating experience: a wild mountain ATV excursion. After a one hour tour through Bistras’ Forest, the group will reconvene in the old Galicnik’s tavern to enjoy a hearty, regional dish to recount tales of your wild adventures.
Galicnik is undoubtedly the most famous village in Mavrovo National Park. It is built on the slope of a mountain, with wonderful examples of traditional architecture. Since 1963, on the 12th of July a traditional wedding is organized, the Galicnik Wedding. This is an event to commemorate the traditional wedding customs and show tribute to the Macedonian cultural heritage.
The ATV tour will start from the village and you will feel the rush of wind against your face as you explore remote trails inaccessible by traditional vehicles. The breathtaking beauty of nature and the landscape is overwhelming. The track will lead you through the magical ancient forest to a church dating back to the 15th century.
