Ashuma Retreat

Forest stays, space to reconnect

Montenegro paid

Ten hectares of forest inside Lovćen National Park give Ashuma Retreat a distinctly outdoors-first character. Established in 2020, this Montenegro wellness retreat pairs glamping stays with space to step back from ordinary routines and focus on self-discovery. Mountain views and the surrounding woodland shape the experience as much as any indoor practice, making it a good fit for travelers who want retreat time without giving up a close connection to nature. Meals are served in a spacious dining hall, with organic vegetarian and vegan options. The priorities feel refreshingly elemental: forest, fresh air, shared meals, and room to slow down. Ashuma is a paid wellness retreat, and the program depends on the stay you choose. Check with the host about session details, dates, and what each retreat includes before booking.
