Travel Information:
Please note, the island of Molat is remote. it is not a tourist haven, therefore travel options are more limited. We feel this adds to the adventures and captures the spirit of our biz perfectly! We will create the retreat WhatsApp early so that you can chat with fellow travellers and make plans together.

If you would like to fly out ahead of the retreat start date our team would love to meet-up with you for a pre-retreat ‘get to know you’ supper the night before  in Zadar, before we depart for Molat.

There is one catamaran each day from Zadar to Molat. On the arrival day, Saturday 12th June 2027, the catamaran leaves Zadar Old Town at 14:05 – arrives in Molat at 14:50. On the departure day the catamaran leaves Molat at 06:50 – arrive in Zadar Old Town at 07:50. You will need to be at the ferry 30 minutes prior to departure.

1. Currently the BEST option for travel on the exact day for the start and end dates of this retreat are: EasyJet. London Gatwick – Split. Outbound: 05:55 – 09:25. Inbound: 15:35 – 17:20. Road transfer time aprox 3 hours by bus and taxi.
2. You could fly into Split several days before to explore, then transfer to Zadar.
