Location
Mahakala will be our home away from home. It's an oasis of calm on Montenegro's coast nestled in the lush greenery of the mountains overlooking the ocean. Surrounded by the four elements of earth, air, sun and water, the setting provides an optimal space for healing. Located on a steep hill between the local mountainside houses, only a 15-minute walk from the local beach. The facilities include; spacious shala with mountain & sea views, plant based restaurant, rooftop relaxation area with jacuzzi, zen garden, outdoor bathtubs, lounge area and a spa area.
Sustainability and taking care of the earth is one of Mahakala’s main values. The kitchen is fully plant based with a no waste policy, they grow their own food in our an organic garden and source the remaining from local organic farms, they source all of our water from the mountain springs, have a bioseptic sewage system, use solar to power our hot water system and have also created our own recycling and compost system. Additionally, they have decided to put their profits into building a conservation project in hopes to conserve the beautiful Buljarica Cove which serves as a sanctuary for the local wildlife. Mahakala is a place of healing, friendship, community & living in harmony with nature.

October is enjoyable autumn month, with an average temperature varying between 18.4°C (65.1°F) and 12.2°C (54°F). Its sunny skies and crisp temperature make hikes and outdoor movement sessions very enjoyable. If evenings are chilly it is a perfect opportunity to enjoy the hot tub or a flower essence bath. Rain is also a possibility at this time of the year. Make sure to pack a rain jacket just in case.
You can enhance your time in Montenegro by booking a massage, flower essence flower, or taking a trip to nearby towns such as Kotor or Perast.
