Ashuma Retreat
Forest stays, space to reconnect
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.

Setting
Ashuma’s ten hectares of woodland sit within Lovćen National Park, where forest surroundings and mountain views set an unhurried, nature-led mood. The setting gives retreat guests room to spend time outdoors as well as turn inward.
A typical day

Accommodation
Guests stay in glamping tents, with mountain views described as part of the experience. Ask Ashuma about tent arrangements and what is included for your dates.
What to bring
Bring comfortable clothes for outdoor time and layers for changing mountain conditions. The annual average temperature is 13.7°C, and a light waterproof layer is useful, especially in the wetter months.
