Training facility is sea front and located on the island of Lastovo in Zaklopatica Bay. Our current equipment inventory is primarily Rogue fitness plus some unusual equipment like kayaks, paddle boards… Clients are offered the training facility, accommodations directly behind the training facility (usually two to a room, option for single room available), and three meals at our restaurant as part of the package.
The menu for meals is almost entirely sustainable, as we use locally grown products. Additionally, there is a smoothie bar with supplements, super foods, and a mix of fresh and frozen fruits for clients to use whenever they feel during the day. We can customize the menu to accommodate clients with special diets or allergies.
We also schedule excursions to give clients the chance to see the island and scenic spaces of the island to create some mindfulness in their training as well as their overall stay. These activities and their associated travel are planned and accounted for in the package.
Excursions:
Lastovo
Travel Time: 5-minute drive.
Activities: History tour, walking, and hiking.
The first excursion takes you to the main village of Lastovo, built around the 14th century and named after the largest island in the archipelago. Lastovo is the heart of the island, a hub for daily necessities and major events like the annual ‘Poklad’ Carnival. Key landmarks, such as the city council, post office, Rector’s Palace, and the parish church of Saint Cosmas and Damian, are all within walking distance.
The walk begins on Pjevor Street, right outside the shops closest to your accommodation, where you can buy any essentials. From here, you will walk through the town for about 30 minutes, then continue with a hike up to Glavica Hill, home to an old fort dating from the French occupation. The hill offers stunning views of Lastovo, Zaklopatica Bay, and the neighboring island of Korčula. You’ll also have a chance to see the northeastern islands of Lastovo’s archipelago, including Saplun, which you will visit later in your stay. The excursion will conclude at a local café for a well-deserved break.
Things to remember: Bring a bottle of water, wear hiking footwear, and carry money or bank cards for the local store, ATM, or post office in case you need to exchange money.
Mihajla Beach
Travel Time: 5 minutes via speedboat.
Activities: Swimming, volleyball, and SUP riding.
Mihajla Beach, located at the bottom of Lastovo, is a popular swimming spot for both locals and tourists. Adjacent to the water, you'll find a cemented promenade with a sand volleyball court and the Mihajla café-bar, offering drinks, coffee, and ice cream. For those interested, you can also try riding the SUP attached to the speedboat.
Things to remember: Bring beachwear, sunscreen, and money if you wish to visit the café-bar.
Skrivena Luka
Travel Time: 15-minute drive.
Activities: Lighthouse visit, swimming, and dinner.
Skrivena Luka, also known as Portorus by the locals, is located on the south side of the island and is one of the largest and most beautiful bays on Lastovo. As its name suggests, the bay is hidden from view from the open sea, offering boats ideal protection from strong winds and rough seas. At the entrance to Skrivena Luka, you'll find the Struga Lighthouse, built in 1839 and named after the cliff it stands on. The lighthouse sits approximately 90 meters above sea level, offering breathtaking cliffside views of the open sea.
This excursion is planned for a free day, where you will spend the afternoon in Skrivena Luka, culminating in an organized dinner at the Porto Rosso restaurant.
Reminders: This excursion lasts the entire afternoon, so you will return to your accommodation only after dinner.
Pasadur
Travel Time: 15-minute drive.
Pasadur is a bay located on the west side of the island, extending to the island of Prežba, which is connected by a bridge just past the hotel. This bay is a favorite spot for boaters, as it is protected from high winds. It also features a scenic promenade by the sea, which is enjoyed by both tourists and locals.
Saplun
Travel Time: 20 minutes via speedboat.
Saplun is located on the island of Mladine, part of the Lastovnjaci group in the southern part of Lastovo's archipelago. It is the only sandy beach on Lastovo, and its beauty is admired by visitors who arrive by private boat or on organized excursions. The shore is covered with smooth stones, leading into a stunning sandy ocean floor—ideal for water sports or underwater photography. It’s important to note that there are no facilities on the island, as it remains in its natural, untouched state.

FAQ
What to expect?
Unique experience, soar muscles, boxing knowledge, lots of fun, and coming back home a few pounds lighter and more tanned.
Do I need to be in shape if I want to go to the fitness camp?
It is not necessary to be active or have a certain level of fitness. The program of the fitness camp is adjusted to individual needs and abilities of each participant. The goal is to make you feel better about your body and your health, regardless of your level. Experience and knowledge of strength and conditioning programs, such as CrossFit, is needed though.
How much workout goes on during the fitness camp?
There are 2 workout sessions a day (cardio and skills), in combination with the workout of the day. You can participate in working out as much as you want (or quit all together, if you feel like it). The gym and the equipment is at your disposal 0-24h and you can exercise in the nature (running, swimming, hiking, etc.) as much as you want outside of training sessions.
What if I have food restrictions?
We usually accommodate any special dietary needs you might have. Please, let us know what your regimen is beforehand, when booking, so that we can prepare everything when you arrive.
Can I participate in the fitness camp if I can't swim?
Sure! The training doesn’t consist of swimming and you can safely enjoy the view of the sea.
Would it be OK if I participate even though I was recently injured/have been ill?
This depends on your doctor’s orders. Of course, we will check with you during the booking process. Depending on your condition, we can organize your travel so the illness/injury doesn’t worsen and we’ll make the trip as enjoyable and safe for you as possible.
How much in advance should I book my flights?
You should be safe if you book your flights just as you receive the confirmation of your trip (you will be informed once the minimum quota of participants is confirmed and the trip is guaranteed). If your arrival flight is the same day as the beginning of the program, it should arrive to Split in the morning so that you can catch the catamaran ride to Lastovo.
Do I need a VISA or any other documents?
The nationals of the EU need only an ID document. For the citizens of the EU, USA, Canada and Australia a valid passport should suffice. But, even then, it is advisable to check the current requirements for your nationality. All other nationals should do so and apply for a visa if necessary through your local Croatian Embassy. Ideally, your passport/visa should be valid a bit longer than your stay in Croatia.
*Note to citizens of the UK: As of 01 January 2023 Croatia is part of the Schengen area. So you can travel up to 90 days in any 180-day period in Croatia without a visa.
