INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY AS THE PERFECT REASON FOR A SHORT ESCAPE: PEACE, NATURE AND TIME FOR YOURSELF (MARCH 6–8)

International Women’s Day often passes in the spirit of greetings, flowers and quick dinners. Lovely, but brief.
What if this year you chose to celebrate it differently? Not as another date in your calendar, but as a real reason to pause.

From March 6 to 8, Plitvice Holiday Resort opens its doors for a special weekend – just enough to turn International Women’s Day into a small but meaningful escape. No rush. No pressure. Just nature, relaxation and time for yourself.

A Gift That Isn’t a Thing, But an Experience

In a world where everything is available with one click, true luxury becomes something else entirely – space to breathe.

A short Women’s Day getaway can be a gift to yourself, your mother, sister, friend or partner. Or simply a decision to slow down for two days and shift perspective.

The Plitvice region in March has a unique atmosphere. The air is fresh, nature is slowly awakening, and the overall pace remains calm. It’s not yet the height of the season, which makes it the perfect time for a short stay surrounded by nature.

Plitvice Holiday Resort provides the ideal base for such an escape – close to Plitvice Lakes National Park, yet set in an environment that naturally supports a slower rhythm.

A Weekend Without Rush – With Thoughtful Details

For International Women’s Day, the weekend from March 6 to 8 is designed as a compact yet complete getaway. It’s not just about changing location; it’s about staying somewhere where nature, ambiance and curated experiences come together to create genuine rest.

During the weekend, the restaurant at Plitvice Holiday Resort offers a special atmosphere with live music and a buffet dinner. The setting is festive enough to mark the occasion, yet relaxed enough to feel completely comfortable. Each guest can choose according to her taste – from traditional dishes to more contemporary flavors – in a way that feels easy and unforced. The focus is on good food, shared moments and enjoying the evening naturally.

Nature is always just steps away, while the resort’s wellness area (subject to availability) adds another dimension of relaxation. A Finnish sauna, infrared sauna, hydromassage pool and relaxation zone offer the perfect complement to time spent outdoors. The combination of fresh air and soothing warmth restores a sense of balance that everyday life often disrupts.

To make the experience even more special, a small surprise gift awaits each guest – a thoughtful gesture that underlines the meaning of the weekend and celebrates women and their time.

Staying at Plitvice Holiday Resort means everything is in one place: nature, restaurant, wellness and the comfort of your own room. This sense of completeness makes the weekend feel different from a typical dinner or short outing – it allows for real distance from daily routine.

Nature as the Best Reset

One of the strongest reasons why a short Women’s Day escape to Plitvice makes sense lies in the setting itself. Nature remains the simplest – and most effective – reset.

A morning walk without checking your phone. Coffee in the fresh air. Silence that feels calming rather than empty. These small moments quietly restore energy.

Spending time in nature has been proven to reduce stress levels, improve mood and help the body shift from constant tension into a more relaxed state. And that is often what we truly need – a pause that lasts longer than a bouquet of flowers.

Time for Yourself – With Others or On Your Own

International Women’s Day is a reminder of how much women give to others. It can also be a reminder that it is perfectly valid to take something back – time, space and attention for yourself.

The weekend at Plitvice Holiday Resort is envisioned as exactly that kind of pause: short, yet meaningful enough to change the tempo.

Nature provides the setting, while the resort’s amenities naturally complete the experience. A walk, breakfast, wellness time and dinner with music form a whole that doesn’t require meticulous planning. The weekend isn’t structured as a schedule of activities, but as an open space where you can slow down and choose what feels right in the moment.

It can be a getaway with friends – a chance for conversations that have been postponed for months. It can be a romantic escape in nature. It can be a gift for your mother or sister. Or it can be a solo reset – two days free from expectations, focused entirely on your own energy.

With a variety of accommodation options, Plitvice Holiday Resort offers flexibility whether you’re coming as a couple, with friends or on your own. Everything is in one place: nature, restaurant, wellness and a calmer rhythm. Enough to make this Women’s Day weekend a true pause – not just another date on the calendar.

Why Now?

Because it’s short.
Because it’s different.
Because it’s dedicated to the occasion.

International Women’s Day often reminds us how much we do for others. This year, let it also be a reminder that it’s okay to do something for yourself.

If you’re considering a short nature getaway for International Women’s Day, now is the right time to check availability for March 6–8 at Plitvice Holiday Resort.

No grand philosophy. Just fresh air, music, good food, a thoughtful gesture – and two days without the need to rush anywhere.

Perhaps that is the most meaningful gift of all.
