Real training
Lost Villa is built for people who want to train properly. Functional fitness, strength, weightlifting, gymnastics, running and conditioning – always with the option to adapt the training to your level.
Training at Lost Villa
Training – everyone can join in!
Do you need to be super fit to book? Absolutely not. At Lost Villa everyone is welcome!
“Some of the world’s strongest athletes train at Lost Villa – but most of our guests are ordinary people who love to train and want a really good week.”
All levels
You don’t need to be an elite athlete. Our coaches help you scale the exercises so the sessions suit you, whether you’re a beginner or have trained for years.
Train with a sea view
A unique training environment right by the Adriatic Sea. The gym is open for your own training, and you can swim, relax and recover between sessions.
Small on purpose
2,000 participants – or 40?
After the summer, one of the big package holiday companies sent out a press release: 2,000 participants in their training sessions during August 2026. Impressive!
We had 40. And that’s exactly how we like it.
If you want a big package holiday, there are plenty of tour operators to choose from. But if you want a coach who knows your name by Sunday, who sees your technique all week and knows when you need to push – or rest – and a group that feels like friends before the week is over, Lost Villa is the place for you.

Gym on Hvar?
Want to train here?
The outdoor gym at Lost Villa is not a public gym and we don’t sell day passes. To train here, book a training week – or rent the whole of Lost Villa for you and your group in the weeks when we don’t run fitness holidays.

A normal day
What a day looks like
During the week there are several coached sessions, often both in the morning and the afternoon. The groups are fairly small and our coaches are always close at hand to help you through the whole session.
Morning
Cardio & functional fitness
We start the day with an energetic session focused on heart rate, conditioning and functional movements. The sessions can be scaled for all levels.
Afternoon
Strength & technique
The afternoon sessions often focus more on strength, technique and quality. This is where you get time to develop your training together with the coaches.
During the day
Open Gym
When there are no coached sessions, the gym is open for your own training. Run your own programme, add to the day’s session or try something new.
Recovery
Mobility & stretching
We give the body time to recover during the week. Mobility, stretching, swimming in the sea and hanging out by the pool are a natural part of life at Lost Villa.
