Velika Plana Resort envisions a new model for continental Croatia — where tourism acts not as extraction, but as regeneration.
Built around year-round nature-based experiences, the project responds to seasonality while creating lasting economic vitality, demographic renewal, and a deeper relationship between people and place.
a space born from silence
A true sanctuary does not simply occupy a landscape; it grows in relationship with it. By aligning the guest experience with the rhythms of the local community, Srce Like transforms tourism from a transient act of consumption into a lasting force of renewal.
Within the ancient landscapes of Lika, a different way of living begins to emerge — one shaped by nature, belonging, slowness, and meaningful human connection. Here, resilience is not found in isolation, but in the quiet harmony between people, place, and time.
Velika Plana Resort stands as a living expression of this vision: a destination rooted not in spectacle, but in depth.

The architectural vision of Velika Plana Resort Village is shaped by restraint, landscape, and belonging — creating spaces that feel quietly embedded within the rhythms of nature, local heritage, and long-term human wellbeing.
Connection to Nature
Architecture opens toward light, landscape, water, forest, and the changing seasons — dissolving boundaries between interior space and the natural world.
Privacy
Residences and guest spaces are carefully positioned to create calm, seclusion, and a deep sense of retreat within the landscape.
Human Scale
Nestled buildings evoke the intimacy, warmth, and quiet shelter of traditional Lika hamlet settlements and mountain dwellings.
Minimal Impact
Development follows the contours of the terrain and the natural logic of the land, allowing architecture to adapt to the landscape rather than imposing itself upon it.
“Velika Plana Resort Village is not conceived as a resort. It is conceived as a relationship between people, nature, and the way we choose to live.”
– Bruce Yerkovich, founder of Srce Like
Velika Plana Resort Village is conceived as a place of restoration and longevity, where air, water, forest, movement, and seasonal rhytm form the foundation of human wellbeing.
Across the landscape, stillness and movement coexist — creating a quiet architecture of renewal shaped by nature, time, and sensory balance.
Water & Thermal Rituals
Outdoor thermal pools, saunas, and water-based wellness rituals. Water as a therapy, reflection, and sensory restoration.
Healing & Movement
Guided movement through forests, trails, rivers, and mountain terrain. Wellness experienced through walking, breathing, rhythm, and nature connection.
Wellness Architecture
Architecture designed around light, silence, proportion, and retreat. Spaces that encourage calm, reflection, privacy, and deep rest.
Stilness, Privacy & Sensory Reset
Quiet landscapes designed for mental clarity and nervous system recovery. Forest bathing, ionized mountain air, and spaces that support deep rest, focus, and reconnection.
