What is Bella Spiaggia?

More than a yoga retreat.

Life is often full. Appointments, obligations and being constantly reachable leave little room to pause and take care of yourself.

Bella Spiaggia invites you to consciously counterbalance this – with yoga, stress management, mindful rituals and evidence-based impulses from Lifestyle Medicine and longevity. Bella Spiaggia brings together Western science with Eastern traditions, movement, conscious nutrition and the restorative power of nature.

Not through perfection or radical change, but through gentle, everyday biohacking: small habits that feel good and support you in the long run – at home and during a mindful break by the sea on Hvar.

Learn. Practice. Integrate.

Lasting health does not come from short-term changes. It begins with the small choices we make every day.

Live well. Age well.

  • More balance.Meet stress more consciously and find your calm again.
  • More energy.Healthy habits that fit into your real life.
  • More focus.Breath, meditation and mindfulness for a clearer mind.

What our guests take home

After five days on Hvar, you take home much more than beautiful memories. Our guests describe feeling:

  • more calm
  • renewed energy
  • more serenity

Small habits. Big impact.

  • Through you, I was able to discover the beauty of this place. I admire you for creating this sanctuary despite all the challenges, and for preserving it with so much calm and dedication. A place under the sun where you can arrive, breathe deeply and simply be.

  • From the moment I arrived, I felt welcome and at ease, thanks above all to your warmth and hospitality.

  • In the aerial yoga hammock, I experienced a sense of safety and calm that I hadn’t felt in a very long time.

  • The morning meditations were my highlight – I wished you could be there with me every morning. And of course, simply lying in the hammock was wonderful for me too.

  • I still carry this experience with me – the memories, the moments and the feeling that it brought me a little closer back to myself.

Hvar & the yoga house

Hvar – a place to arrive

A place where you can feel the power of nature, recharge, and find new energy.

The yoga house is set in a peaceful location, surrounded by pine trees, olive trees, and views of the crystal-clear sea – just a few kilometres from Hvar Town, yet far enough away from the bustle.

  • approx. 4 kmfrom Hvar Town, near Milna
  • Right by the seain a sheltered bay
  • Off-gridwith its own solar power system

The place

Bella Spiaggia lies in a sheltered bay directly by the sea. Pine forests, olive trees, and the rugged coastline create the unique atmosphere of this place and invite you to find calm, let go of stress, and regain your strength.

The name Bella Spiaggia comes from Italian and means “beautiful beach” – inspired by the untouched bay stretching out directly in front of the house.

Sustainability · Powered by the sun

As the bay is not connected to the public electricity grid, Bella Spiaggia is powered by its own photovoltaic system and operates independently using solar energy. Using energy and water mindfully and respecting the natural environment are an essential part of the way we live here.

About me

Theresa, founder of Bella Spiaggia, smiling in front of a natural stone wall

Hello, I’m Theresa.

My journey towards greater health, balance & wellbeing

Today, I bring West and East together – Western science with Eastern traditions. In my work, the insights of modern Lifestyle Medicine meet yoga, meditation and mindfulness. This is how I show that small habits can contribute to greater energy, focus and balance, less stress, and long-term wellbeing.

Science as the foundation.
Tradition as inspiration.
Experience as an invitation.

Five days can be a pause.
But perhaps they can also be the beginning of something that stays with you long after you leave.
