Get ready for a sun-kissed escape through one of Europe’s most enchanting coastlines. Croatia Magic is a women’s-only journey designed for those ready to unwind, connect, and explore the beauty of Dalmatia – all without the daily demands of work, routines, or responsibilities. Hosted by Lauren Urasek, this adventure celebrates freedom, friendship, and fun in one of the Mediterranean’s most captivating destinations.

From the stone streets of Šibenik to the cascading waterfalls of Krka National Park, you’ll discover the soul of Croatia – where ancient charm meets seaside bliss. Then it’s off to Hvar, a glamorous island known for its hidden beaches, sparkling waters, and sunset cocktails, before ending in Dubrovnik, the jewel of the Adriatic. Along the way, you’ll savour fresh oysters, sip local wines, and soak up every golden moment of coastal living.

This is more than a trip – it’s a celebration of self. With a like-minded group of adventurous women, you’ll experience a perfect blend of exploration and relaxation, laughter and connection, luxury and spontaneity. Come solo or bring a friend – you’ll leave with a new sisterhood, a sun-drenched glow, and stories you’ll be telling for years to come.

Your Host

Lauren Urasek

Hey, I’m Lauren! I’m happiest when I’m exploring somewhere new. Preferably with camera in hand, surrounded by insanely delicious food, beautiful views, and even better company. 

As a childfree woman, I love showing the world you can live your best life without following a traditional path. I’m all about travel that feels meaningful, whether it’s finding landscapes that make you feel gratitude in real time, laughing over dinner with new friends, or stepping a little outside your comfort zone.

For me, these trips are about community and connection. I work remotely and travel often and am looking to build a community of women all over the world that look for similar experiences!
