Kayak to hidden cavesPaddle the Adriatic into sea caves and beaches you can only reach by water. Pull up for a seaside lunch, spritz in hand, then paddle back to base. You will not find this on Google, because we built it.

Top 3 iconic moments
Three things you will do on this trip that you will still be talking about years later.
02
Epic morning workouts
Epic morning workoutsTrail runs, beach bootcamps, yoga on the water, big group sessions with the Adriatic right there. Every morning is some kind of movement, and it is done before the rest of the day even starts.
03
Pirate ship day
Pirate ship dayMF Boat Day is the highlight of most trips. This one is a 200ft pirate ship cruising the walls of Dubrovnik with a remixed Game of Thrones soundtrack. Good luck ever topping it.
📅 The Day By Day
Seven days, planned so you never have to think about it.
Day 1Our new home
Land in Dubrovnik, drop your bags, champagne already poured.
The full day
Meet the crew at Gruz Port in Dubrovnik and boat across to Lopud, where our resort on the water is waiting with snacks and champagne and the Adriatic right outside the door. We shake off the flight with an easy workout, then happy hour, a proper dinner, and a private bartender who does not stop pouring. The dancing starts earlier than anyone expects, and the first night sets the tone for the rest of the week.
Day 2Kayak to the caves
A full morning of movement before 10am, then an hour of paddling to the underwater caves.
The full day
Coffee, a real workout, a yoga cool down, a dip in the ocean and a full breakfast, all before 10am. Then we paddle about an hour out to the underwater caves on the next island and swim in water nobody else can reach. Lunch, then the paddle home. Tonight we head into town for dinner, so bring the shoes you can dance in.
Day 3Dubrovnik old town
A local guide takes you through the Old Town, then the night is yours.
The full day
After the morning routine we head into the Old Town with a local guide who covers the medieval walls, the history and every Game of Thrones corner you came for. Then you break off for free time to shop and wander. We regroup for a long dinner at a place we love, and finish with drinks over the view, or cliff jumping if you are feeling brave.
Day 4Summit and 1,000 abs
Climb the island to the old fortress, then take the whole thing back down to the beach.
The full day
We lace up and climb through the pines to the old fortress at the top of the island. If the hike does not take your breath away the view will, with the Elaphiti islands and the Adriatic stretching out in every direction. Back down at the beach it turns into games, workouts and the 1,000 abs challenge. Then lunch in the sun, a nap, the spa, a sunset yoga flow, and a restaurant we take over with the whole crew.
Day 5Pirate ship day
The 200ft pirate ship. Not a boat, a ship.
The full day
One of those days you describe to people for years. We take a 200ft pirate ship out through the islands and see the Dalmatian Coast the only way it should be seen, from the water, with the Dubrovnik walls sliding past and the music all the way up. We come back in for dinner at the hotel, and nobody goes to bed early.
Day 6Beach day and black tie
Our home shore all day, then we change into black tie.
The full day
Gentle yoga to ease into it after last night, then down to the beach right outside the hotel. Turquoise water, pine shade, snorkelling, kayaking and a lot of lounging. The afternoon brings bootcamps, optional runs and a yoga workshop, then a sunset flow to stretch out the week. Then we change into black tie and close the trip out by the sea.
Day 7Back to reality
One last breakfast, the boat back, and goodbyes that take too long.
The full day
We say goodbye over one last breakfast together, then the boat runs at a civilised hour. Our boat runs you back to Dubrovnik and it is a quick cab to the airport from the port. Book your flight after midday and none of it feels rushed. Then the group chat starts, and in our experience it never really goes quiet again.
Every day is planned for you. Nothing to book, nothing to organise.
🛌Where you sleep
We are going back to Lopud, and it is not the same place.
The whole week is based at the Hilton Lopud Beach Resort and Spa, on the waterfront of car free Lopud. It has just been rebuilt from the inside out and reopens for 2027.
Every room newly finished with its own balcony or terrace, a heated infinity pool over the Adriatic, a spa and wellness centre, a private beach house, and a pier our boats pull straight into.
Both 2027 trips are based there. Same island, same sunsets, everything else brand new.
