Our Story
Allow us to help you bring your soulful retreat vision or inspiring events to life.
Inspired by the Blue Health philosophy, this value reflects the mental and physical benefits of being close to the sea. It speaks to the sea natural ability to calm the mind, nourish the body, and restore balance, anchoring our retreats in the rhythm and energy of the SEA.
We were born in the vibrant city of Dubrovnik, but after spending more than two decades living in Norway, we carry with us a unique blend of Mediterranean warmth and Scandinavian serenity. Our deep love for our hometown and lifelong passion for creativity and the arts inspired us to create these authentic and soulful retreats.
We’ve poured our hearts into every detail, infusing the space with artistic energy and peaceful harmony, a place where you can reconnect with yourself, surrounded by beauty, inspiration, and calmness.

Villa Adriana Eco Village
Our garden, nestled at Villa Adriana in the beautiful Župa Dubrovačka near Dubrovnik, is a cherished space that my parents have lovingly cultivated with dedication.
Our food is not only organic and local but also rooted in a tradition of love and care.
Spanning 1,700 square meters, it bursts with Mediterranean fruits and vegetables: lemons, oranges, grapefruits, olives, grapes, pomegranates, figs, tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, zucchini, onions, squash, cabbage, chard, avocados, and more, all grown naturally, in harmony with the land.
Each meal includes ingredients freshly harvested from this vibrant garden, bringing the true essence of our village to every bite. From garden to table, you’ll savor dishes crafted with organic produce nurtured just steps from our kitchen. This garden is more than just nourishment; it’s a celebration of life, nature, and the rich traditions that connect us all.
Visiting this charming village will make your stay even more memorable, offering a glimpse into the authentic rhythm of Mediterranean life, where traditions, flavors, and the beauty of nature come together to create an experience that nourishes both body and soul.

Trust is our Top Core Value
At Wild Orange, we value trust and transparency in everything we do—with our team, partners, suppliers, and guests. We lead by example and expect the same from those we work with, creating relationships built on honesty, respect, and reliability.

Libertas
Freedom in Every Breath
At Wild Orange, Libertas is more than a symbol; it’s the essence we are born with and grow into. Deeply cherished in Dubrovnik, it represents freedom, independence, and the courage to live authentically. Just as the walls of our city have protected and celebrated liberty for centuries, we carry Libertas in our hearts, guiding how we move, create, and connect. It reminds us to honor our true selves, embrace openness, and inspire freedom in others.
