Linden Tree Retreat & Ranch

Velika Plana, Croatia

Although Croatia is primarily famous for luxurious island cruises or seaside relaxation, the country has much more to offer. In the center of the coastal part of Croatia lies the huge Velebit mountain range, rich in various species of fauna and flora. Two national parks have been established here, and the whole area is protected as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.

Linden Tree Retreat & Ranch is located in the heart of Velebit National Park, in the picturesque village of Velika Plana. This small, private resort guarantees its guests an unforgettable adventure in the style of a tailor-made eco-safari. Thanks to cooperation with the park authorities and numerous organizations dealing with environmental protection, the ranch operates in harmony with the natural environment.

Each form of accommodation provides complete privacy in a beautiful and peaceful wilderness environment. For people who want as close contact with nature as possible and are looking for adventure, atmospheric American-Indian Lakota Tipi or riverside tents are recommended. The resort also offers cozy en-suite rooms, original Casitas with private gardens, and a luxurious Buffalo Lodge, decorated in a rustic style and able to accommodate up to 8 people.

Linden Tree Retreat & Ranch provides guests with an extensive menu of services and plenty of ways to stay active. During your stay, you can take advantage of organized guided tours, jeep safaris, bear watching, horse riding classes, kayaking, bicycle trips and many other unique attractions. For those looking for a quiet holiday, it is recommended to relax at a nearby lake or river. In the evenings, special events are organized, including: pipe ceremony, live music, dance evenings and karaoke. There is also a club for the youngest, Little Bears, where numerous workshops are held, providing a fantastic opportunity to interact with other children.

Just being in contact with nature provides exceptional mental comfort, and the resort also offers a wide range of Wellness services. Linden Tree Retreat & Ranch provides its guests with numerous regenerative treatments, including massages and aromatherapy. An evening stay in a Japanese ofuro heated by a stove with a view of the starry sky will also be a fantastic form of complete relaxation. Additionally, calming yoga classes and daily meditation are recommended.

The resort itself describes the meals served on site as 'Croatian mosaic of world flavors' - a Croatian mosaic of world flavors.

It has already been appreciated twice, in 2016 and 2018, by distinguishing the ranch in the Michelin guide.
