Informations

White Swallow Lodge


The Perfect Spot for Community Meals and Views

The heart of any community space White Swallow Lodge houses the kitchen facilities. Immediately in front is a large terrace where we often gather for community meals overlooking the permaculture gardens.

Chill Out Area


Relax and Unwind in the Chill Out Area

The Chill Out Area is an outdoor space for relaxing and taking it easy. In warmer weather it is shaded by sailcloths. It is also close to the firepit also situated in the same gardens.

Eagles View


A Stunning Spot for Outdoor Workshops

Eagles View is the highest point on the property and has the best view. It is situated above our natural springwater supply. It is a great space for outdoor workshops and practice.

Hazel Lodge


Discover Hazel Lodge: A Peaceful Workshop Setting

Hazel Lodge is our main indoor area for hosting workshops and retreat activities. It is situated away from the main accommodation and has a stunning view back down the valley.

Attic


The Attic: A Quiet Space for Reflection and Creativity

Whilst we encourage people to spend as much time as possible outside in nature the Attic offers a quiet indoor space to reflect and assimilate. It is also the home of a 4K cinema which some workshop hosts might want to use for presentations and workshops or if the mood takes a movie night.

Firepit


Gather and Connect in the Heart of the Garden

The Firepit is another gathering space situated in the main garden. It offers a place to come together and tell stories around the fire.

Fruit and Nut Forest


Nurturing Sustainable Food Sources in the Village

The endemic plant life is so vibrant that it will swamp many things that you try to grow. Fruit and nut trees and shrubs are good long term food sources so we have planted more than 200 fruit and nut trees throughout the village.

Forest


Surrounded by Ancient Forest and Wildlife

All around us there is ancient forest land. A beautiful mixture of deciduous and coniferous trees. The forest frames the village and is home to some of Europes apex animals – wolves bears and lynx.

Meadowland


A Haven for Rare Orchids and Butterflies

The Meadowland around Biokovina is second to none mostly because there is no use of chemicals in the ancient farming techniques practised in the village. Rare orchids abound – it’s a botanists paradise. But not to be left out there is a cornucopia of butterflys – a lepidopterists dream.

Communal Gardens


Green Spaces for Reflection and Relaxation

Whilst formal gardens are not our style we do have green spaces to retreat to and reflect upon and assimilate your experiences at Biokovina Wild.
