The Setting
The quality of the experience begins with the setting
At Indigo Sails, setting is treated as part of the experience itself. It is defined by privacy, spatial quality, visual calm, and the standard of the places we use. This is what allows the experience to feel different from the outset. More room, less noise, stronger atmosphere, and surroundings that support rest, clarity, and a higher quality of time.
The Indigo Sails World
Three distinct expressions of life at sea, shaped around different ways to travel and restore.
A Higher Standard of Living
Indigo Sails is shaped around a rarer way of living and travelling — where setting, pace, hospitality, and wellbeing are brought into close alignment. What guests step into is not simply time away, but a more elevated standard of experience, designed to restore, inspire, and hold its quality throughout.
Novalume
Novalume is a private, restoration-focused retreat created for those seeking genuine recalibration in an exceptional setting.
Secret Retreats
Curated retreats at sea, released in limited editions, offering selective access through registration and advance notice.
Yacht Charter
Private yacht journeys worldwide, shaped by trusted expertise, thoughtful planning, and seamless life on the water.
Inside Novalume
What gives Novalume its particular character is the level at which the experience is composed.
A RETREAT STRUCTURE THAT ALLOWS REJUVENATION TO BUILD THROUGH PLACE, PRACTICE, AND PERSONAL CHOICE.
Rejuvenate by Design
In Novalume, rejuvenation is not tied to one setting or one practice. It is built through the structure of the journey itself, with each part of the experience contributing in a different way. Time at sea brings space, release, and distance from daily demands, while each island introduces its own atmosphere, pace, and energy.
Wellbeing is present throughout through yoga, breath-work, treatments, time in nature, and optional ateliers, allowing guests to engage according to what they want, need, and feel ready for. The result is a form of rejuvenation that feels more personal, more adaptive, and more complete.
REGIONAL KNOWLEDGE, EXCEPTIONAL FACILITATORS, AND HIGH-LEVEL DELIVERY THROUGHOUT.
Depth of Expertise
Our retreats are shaped by people who know the Adriatic intimately and understand how to deliver complex journeys at a high level. Native regional knowledge, long-standing partner relationships, and multilingual coordination ensure that details are communicated clearly and carried through with precision from start to finish.
Alongside that operational depth sits an exceptional facilitator team, bringing together more than 200 years of collective experience across wellness, movement, bodywork, performance, and personal and professional development. For guests, that means a retreat led by credible experts and delivered with a level of quality that is felt throughout.
PRIVILEGED ACCESS TO STANDOUT SETTINGS ASHORE, CHOSEN FOR PRIVACY, SERVICE, AND ATMOSPHERE.
Luxury Clubs, Private Spas & Iconic Beach Destinations
Novalume includes privileged access to a network of standout coastal venues across the Adriatic — from private spa and wellness facilities and reserved beach club settings to island destinations chosen for the atmosphere, service, and setting they offer ashore.
These settings widen the experience beyond the retreat itself, giving guests access to a more private and elevated side of the Adriatic.
The Novalume Pillars
What gives Novalume its particular texture? Novalume units transformative wellbeing and elevated living within one coherent experience.
Life at Sea
Novalume unfolds aboard a select collection of spacious catamarans and motor yachts, chosen for comfort, design, and the quality of life they allow at sea. Movement between islands, anchorages, and open water gives each day a natural rhythm while keeping the experience private, spacious, and fully immersed in the Adriatic.
Elevated Wellbeing
Wellbeing is built into the structure of the retreat through a series of ateliers, body-based practices, and restorative experiences led by experienced facilitators. Yoga, breath-work, treatments, and time in nature work together to support physical renewal, mental clarity, and a deeper reset.
Refined Hospitality
Partner venues ashore are selected for their setting, service, and ability to extend the retreat beyond the vessel itself. Spa access, refined dining, and beautiful coastal environments add depth to the journey while maintaining the same standard of experience throughout.

The Allure of Croatia
A coastline chosen for contrast, character, and flow
Novalume follows a deliberately compact stretch of the Adriatic, allowing guests to experience Croatia’s most compelling islands without long passages or rushed transitions. The route is engineered for proximity, variety, and ease—maximising time on the water while keeping daily movement effortless.
Beginning in Split, the journey moves south through Brač and Hvar before settling into the sheltered Paklinski Islands. Each part of the route plays a defined role within the retreat, shaping how the days unfold—from cultural grounding and open-water sailing to social energy and protected calm. Short distances between islands allow for flexible days, spontaneous anchorages, and an itinerary that adapts naturally to conditions and group dynamics.

The Art of Living Beautifully
Three further expressions of the Indigo Sails world, shaped around flexibility, elevated wellbeing, and selective access.
Indigo Sails extends beyond one retreat format. Alongside Novalume, it offers private yacht charter for those who want greater freedom over how they travel, a wellbeing suite designed to bring more depth and continuity to daily life, and limited-release retreats announced selectively and accessed by registration.
Each opens onto a different way of living with Indigo Sails — through choice, intention, and a more elevated relationship to travel and wellbeing.
WELLBEING SUITE
The Wellbeing Suite brings elevated wellbeing and transformative wellness into everyday life in a way that is intelligent, flexible, and grounded in real living. It is designed to support clarity, energy, and ease through how the days are actually lived. At its centre are the Wellbeing Ateliers — small, considered sessions led by experienced facilitators and complemented by yoga, breathwork, restorative spa access, sport and water activities, and time in natural surroundings. Engagement remains personal and self-directed.
Rather than following a fixed programme, the Wellbeing Suite creates an environment for renewal through balance.
YACHT CHARTER
With deep industry knowledge and a handpicked network of trusted, vetted partners, we turn wish lists into wake trails. Our approach is exacting and highly personal — listening closely, refining every element, and advocating for you at every stage. From pristine fleets to standout crews and seamless logistics, we do not stop until the right match is found and the journey is shaped accordingly.
Browse 9,000 yachts across 40 countries with live availability you can trust. From agile bareboat sailboats to luxury crewed superyachts, inventory updates in real time so what you see is genuinely bookable. Filter by destination, dates, yacht type, and onboard features, then enquire with confidence.
SECRET RETREATS
Secret Retreats are limited releases at sea, announced selectively and accessed through registration. Each edition is designed as a contained experience, shaped by place, timing, and the people who gather.
Rather than a defined itinerary, the emphasis is on atmosphere and alignment. Guests share a sense of curiosity, ease, and appreciation for well-considered environments, creating natural moments of connection throughout the journey.
Details remain intentionally minimal prior to release. Registration secures priority access and allows us to curate each retreat with care, ensuring coherence, discretion, and a shared sensibility on board.
