We have been returning to this beautiful villa on Brac for the past seven years, and each time we come back, we feel the same sense of peace, connection, and belonging. We are grateful to share this special place with you — a family-owned villa where we have built a warm relationship with the owners and where every detail feels personal and authentic.

This retreat is created by the two of us, Manuela and Sasha, combining our shared love for yoga, nature, and the island of Brac. Our intention is to create a space where you can slow down, reconnect, and feel truly welcomed — not just as a guest, but as part of a small community for the week.

The villa’s garden provides fresh seasonal vegetables, homemade olive oil, and local wine that become part of our shared meals and the experience of island life. Throughout the retreat, we invite you to find your own balance — through yoga, exploring the island, swimming in the sea, connecting with nature, and enjoying moments of rest, stillness, and simply being.

Our wish is for everyone who joins us to leave with beautiful memories, new connections, and a renewed sense of energy — carrying a little piece of Brac with them.

Villa Gumonca is a beautiful beachfront villa in the peaceful village Mirca, near Supetar, the central town of Brac island.

Villa’s surroundings offer a breathtaking view of the sea and the mainland as well as of the fragrant eco gardens with direct access to a small pebble beach. The path leading to the beach passes between a small vineyard and a garden featuring organic fruits, vegetables, and various Mediterranean herbs.

The outdoor seaside area features a large veranda on stone pillars that shades a dining table, a wooden pool deck area with sunbeds, a jacuzzi and heated infinity swimming pool. 

The villa can accommodate up to 13 guests and consists of a 4 bedroom main house and 2 bedroom annex. On the main house’s ground floor are 3 bedrooms with suite bathrooms, each with its small terrace. On the first floor is a master bedroom which can accommodate up to 3 people. It has a big bathroom with a shower and jacuzzi bathtub for two. The guest annex and the main house are next to each other and connected with porches and terraces. The annex consists of 2 more bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an additional gourmet kitchen.

The shared space is a spacious living room with a TV set and fireplace, a dining area, and a long kitchen/bar island.

Villa Gumonca is an award-winning house and place of true well-being!

Our food is prepared with fresh and seasonal ingredients purchased from local farmers because we love to support the local economy.

You’ll enjoy two main meals and snacks, all thoughtfully crafted by our in-house chef. Our menu is primarily vegetarian and vegan, with gluten-free options available.

And, to keep you refreshed throughout the day, we offer coffee, tea, fruits, and snacks.

Brač is a Mediterranean island famous for its cultural heritage, deeply indented coves, smooth stone pebble beaches, crystal clear sea, and rustic Mediterranean villages. This unique Adriatic island is bestowed with Croatian symbols such as Vidova Gora — one of the most beautiful viewpoints and the highest peak on the Adriatic coast. Another treasure is the Golden Cape — a natural white pebbled beach formation that sticks out of the sea like a tongue.

Lonely Planet listed it in the first place of the most beautiful beaches in Croatia. These remarkable natural properties and the islands’ relaxed vibe make Brač a top-rated destination for windsurfers, sports lovers, and adventure seekers.

Our retreat base is located outside of the tourist rush in peaceful village Mirca — slow-paced and a perfect place for enjoying sublime scenery and scents of Mediterranean herbs and pine trees.
