Meet Your Trainer
Domagoj is a sports lover, a kinesiologist by profession, and at the same time, a long-term professional athlete. He played football and did mixed martial arts (MMA) professionally, in which he recorded 4 professional victories and zero losses.

Individuals who want to increase their physical fitness can after a joint Morning Routine continue to exercise through functional semi-individual workouts based on more intense and complex exercises. Training is tailored to the goals (of physical fitness) that you want to achieve while staying with us. Pair it with our DETOX plan for a full-body reset.
Morning Routine
Morning Routine takes place on Placet, the heart of a wooded elevated part of the island with a magnificent view of the open sea.
The program is based on breathing exercises and mobility in a moment that is yours and yours only and allows you to focus on yourself.
- A morning walk to Placet
- Exercises of mobility, maximum mobility of joints, and movements of the full range of motion in a particular joint or group of joints.
Functional Training
The training consists of three parts:
- the introductory part of the specific warm-up training is adapted to the main part of the training;
- the main part in which various functional exercises are done with your body and with various props such as weights, tires, and weight plates;
- the final part of the training is cooling down and calming the pulse.
The goal of our training is to become healthier and more capable, improve our body's functionalities, and thus increase the quality of the vacation for the guest.
Through training, we master the basic patterns of movement that we need in everyday life by doing exercises that simulate them. We develop as many motor abilities as possible (endurance, strength, coordination, etc.) and increase the organism's energy capacity (aerobic, anaerobic).
Trekking
A walking tour of the island’s most beautiful spots.
- Church of St. Nicholas: dates from the 9th century. It is distinctive of its very narrow front door. It was renovated in 1998, and it represents the border between Donje and Gornje Čelo.
- Donje Čelo: the main inhabited part of the island. There is a supermarket, a post office, and a clinic. It is special because of a large sandy beach that stretches throughout the whole place.
- Cape Čavalika: the westernmost cape of the island with a view of two other inhabited Elaphite islands - Lopud and Šipan.
- Bige: the uninhabited southern side of the island characterized by beautiful promenades that lead through a dense pine forest and high cliffs overlooking the beautiful Adriatic Sea.
- Cape Bezdan: the easternmost point of the island with a beautiful view of Dubrovnik and the islet of Daksa, which is only a few kilometers away. There is also a small lake connected to the sea by an underground cave. The depth of the location is 40m.
- Return to the hotel through the north side of the island.
Kayaking & Snorkelling
Exploring the caves and underwater world of Kalamota.
- Don Gjivan: beautiful small beach with crystal clear sea.
- Jekavac Bay: there is only one private house in the bay.
- Galija Reef: Diving on the east side of the ridge
- Cape Bezdan: the depth of the sea is about 40m. At a depth of 10m, a cave is connected to the lake. At the bottom, there is a wreck of the ship Aurora.
- Blue Cave: This cave is so special thanks to the sunlight's reflection off of the white seabed, which creeps through the cave's opening, giving it a mesmerizing silvery-blue hue.
- Return to the hotel
Note for guests: Kayaking tours are limited to eight people at a time, and we definitely recommend bringing a hat, sunscreen, and WATER.

Picigin
Along with Kayaking and Trekking, the inevitable Picigin is a traditional Croatian amateur sport played on sandy beaches along the Croatian coast, including the island of Kalamota.
It is a game with no winners and no strict rules, so the only goal is relaxation and having a good time.
The game's basic rules are that there must be a minimum of four players, evenly spaced in the sea about 20cm deep. A tennis-sized ball is passed by hitting it with your palms, and the goal is to keep it in the air as long as possible.
The activity is organized upon request.
Individual Training
A set of special programs with Domagoj upon request.
- BASICS OF BOXING and KICKBOXING (basic techniques and movements and pad work )
- BASICS OF WRESTLING (basic positions and moves in wrestling)
- HIIT TRAINING (high-intensity interval training, bodyweight exercises, and exercises with props)
