Welcome to your Maverick Adventures retreat at Papalina Resort
Your adventure begins! Arrive at Papalina Resort by 6pm and step into your Mediterranean paradise. We'll greet you with welcome drinks by the pool as the golden hour paints the Adriatic.
Meet your fellow adventurers during team bonding by the pool. We'll gather for an opening ceremony ritual to set intentions for the week ahead.

Day 2: Hike Day
Coastal Beauty Awaits
Morning workout and stretching led by Alex
After breakfast, lace up for a stunning coastal hike. We'll be hiking along the sea and through a beautiful pinewood forest, walking to Rab Old Town and exploring the medieval streets along the way.
Pine-scented trails, dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and panoramic views that take your breath away.
We'll return just in time for a sunset to remember, a special dinner, and a seriously good night's sleep.
Day 3: Boat Day
Everyone's Favourite Day
Morning workout led by Alex, stretching, and a refreshing sea dip
A big breakfast spread fuels everyone's favourite day of the week. We're taking to the water!
Explore local nature and history. Visit underwater caves, a mysterious prison island, and pristine beaches. We'll also stop by the beautiful Pudarica Beach — a stunning turquoise bay perfect for swimming and relaxation.
Swim, relax, connect with each other, and have a ton of fun!
Back at the villa in the evening, we'll unwind, relax, chat, and enjoy a healthy dinner to rejuvenate.

Play Hard, Explore Deep
Morning workout, stretching, and sea dip
After group breakfast, it's game time! Pool volleyball, basketball, beach games, and friendly competition at the resort.

Explore knight chambers, climb the famous bell tower, and discover hidden gems.
Day 5: Big Hike Day
Incredible Viewpoints
Morning fitness workout and stretching
Today we conquer. Hike to an incredible viewpoint on Rab with panoramic vistas that'll stay with you forever.

Day 6: Last Full Day
Soak Up the Magic

About Alex P
After 15 years in fitness, learning about the body, helping others achieve their goals, and walking 11,000+ km over the past 2 years, I discovered that the best training happens outside the gym. On this retreat, I'll push you when you need it; slowly and controlled. You will work your body in a way you haven't before, and discover places along this coast you didn't know existed.
