ArchitectureThe facade of the old stone house was combined with traditional features, based on the houses of the neighbors: inside. The new building, on the other hand, stands for clear lines and was implemented in cooperation with a local construction company. The hosts learned from islanders friends how the traditional restoration of stone houses works. The interior of the main floor is deliberately different from traditional houses in the area: an open space to take advantage of natural light and to have it in the room for as long as possible. Some furniture and accessories were also specially made, such as lamps made from wood that comes from the beach or from a local vineyard. All of the windows were made on site and the bespoke dining table was commissioned from a local carpenter.

FoodTrusted organic suppliers from the locality deliver seasonal fruit and vegetables, the own garden donates fresh herbs. Only vegetarian and vegan meals are served on site. The organic house wine is from a winemaker on the island. Canned fruit and olive oil come from a supplier who supplies the island. The hosts try to offer the guests a vegan version of the local specialties of the island of Vis and combine them with a Mediterranean style of cuisine. A fresh cake is baked every afternoon, which is then served with afternoon tea.

SocialThe employees come from and live on the island. There is the possibility of doing internships at WearActive - these should also serve to give more attention to responsible, sustainable tourism and the outdoor activities offered on site. The hosts: in support several local charities (e.g. Geo Park Vis, an NGO that is committed to preserving the traditions, infrastructure and the environment of the island). They are also actively involved in marine research on the island, which conducts extensive dolphin research around the island of Vis.

EnvironmentThe water in the guest rooms is heated by solar energy, using a drainage system to collect rainwater from the entire roof area of the property. There is a well system that supports the water system. Disposable plastic is not used at all and we always try to recycle and compost. A friend's permaculture project helps here. Cleaning is done exclusively with natural products from a local Croatian company that also makes soaps, which guests can fi nd in the baths. The hosts actively help with beach cleaning initiatives and are involved in community projects that promote sustainability and responsible tourism on the island of Vis. They also promote local products that are made by their direct neighbors. They fund a local charity for stray cats and dogs on the island due to the lack of veterinary facilities on the island.

Well-BeingA morning begins (before breakfast) with a yoga session by the sea. It is important for the hosts to offer plenty of activities, which is why there are daily guided kayaking, paddleboarding and / or bike tours. In the afternoons there is the opportunity to learn to slackline. In addition, snorkeling equipment is available for guests, the kayaks and bicycles are available around the clock for their own tours and exploration of the island. The beautiful beaches of the island can be reached in just ten minutes on foot.
