The most direct way to reach Lake Bohinj and our retreat home at Sunrose 7 is by flying into Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (LJU), which is about a 1–1.5 hour drive away.

If you’re flying internationally, Venice Marco Polo Airport and Zagreb Airport are also great options, each roughly 3–3.5 hours by car.

There are public transportation options available from these airports using a combination of trains and buses to Bohinjska Bistrica or Lake Bohinj, followed by a short local taxi ride to the hotel.

No car? No problem. Once you’ve booked your spot, send me a message and I’ll help connect you with other retreat participants in your area to coordinate carpools or shared transfers.

From Ljubljana, take the A2/E61 motorway toward Kranj / Villach. After Kranj, follow signs for Bled / Jesenice.

Continue through Bled and follow the signs toward Bohinj via the scenic road along the Sava Dolinka River. You’ll pass through Bohinjska Bela and then head into the mountains toward Bohinjska Bistrica.

Once in Bohinjska Bistrica, follow signs for Lake Bohinj and Ribčev Laz. Continue along the main road toward the lake and you’ll find Sunrose 7 Heritage Boutique Hotel located in the village of Bohinjska Bistrica.

If you enter “Sunrose 7” into Google Maps, it will guide you directly to the hotel entrance.

Please only use designated parking areas and do not enter or block neighboring properties.

Can I come alone?
Absolutely, many retreat guests join solo. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into a supportive and inclusive community. You’ll never feel “on your own” unless you want that space for yourself.

What if I’m nervous about doing this alone?
Totally normal, and also a sign you’re doing something brave. You’ll be supported every step of the way, from pre-trip travel coordination to on-the-ground connection once you arrive. We also create intentional moments for group bonding, without forcing anything.

How do I get from the airport alone?
You won’t be left to figure it out solo. Once you’re booked, you’ll receive a travel guide and have access to our group chat or email thread to coordinate shared rides, carpools, or shuttle options with fellow retreaters.

Will there be time alone, or is everything group-based?
It’s a balance. The retreat is structured to provide both community connection and personal downtime. You’ll have plenty of optional excursions and free time to explore solo, journal, rest, or simply be.

Is this safe for solo travelers?
Slovenia is considered one of the safest countries in Europe, especially in the Bohinj region. Sunrose 7 is located in a peaceful village with a welcoming local community and a strong sense of security.

Will I actually connect with people if I come alone?
Yes, and in a way that feels natural, not forced. The retreat environment creates opportunities for meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and quiet moments of togetherness.

Who typically comes solo?
People at all stages of life and travel. Some are new to retreats, some are experienced solo travelers, and many are simply honoring their own journey. You’ll be in good company.

Can I come with my partner or a friend?
Of course! This retreat is a beautiful experience to share with someone you care about, whether that’s a romantic partner, close friend, sibling, or travel buddy.

Will we be able to stay together?
Yes. Partners and friends booking together will share a king-size bed. If you prefer separate bedding, we can provide two comforters upon request so you still have individual sleeping space and comfort.

What if one of us does yoga and the other doesn’t?
That’s totally welcome here. All yoga sessions are accessible and adaptable, whether you’re experienced or brand new. Participation is always optional.

Will we be together the whole time or is there space for independence?
Both. You’ll enjoy shared meals, group activities, and meaningful experiences together, while still having free time to explore separately, rest, or follow your own rhythms.

Is this a good retreat for couples looking to reconnect?
Yes. Many partners join to step away from daily life and reconnect in a new environment. The blend of nature, movement, and mindful space makes it both grounding and deeply connecting.

Will we connect with other retreat guests too?
Absolutely. You’ll be part of the larger retreat community, sharing meals, stories, and experiences with other guests throughout the week.

Is this a good experience even if we travel differently?
Yes. Whether one of you loves adventure and the other prefers relaxation, this retreat supports both styles with optional outings and built-in flexibility.
