OUR PHYLOSOPHY
We believe that travel is not simply a change of scenery, but an opportunity to engage more deeply with place, culture, and ourselves.
At Viveres Selections, we view travel as an investment in emotional wealth – shaped not by acquisition, but by experiences that remain long after the journey ends. From architectural settings to culinary traditions, the most meaningful stays are those that reflect the rhythm of their surroundings while offering space for personal connection and rest.
Rooted in Croatia, our work centers on curating environments and journeys that allow guests to experience the Adriatic with both clarity and depth.
OUR APPROACH
Viveres was founded with the intention of bringing thoughtful structure to meaningful luxury travel. Through carefully selected residences, regional insight, and integrated concierge support, we design journeys that respect both the character of each destination and the individuality of each guest.
Rather than expansive inventories or predefined itineraries, our approach prioritizes curation, sequencing, and discretion – ensuring that each stay unfolds with coherence and ease.

Viviane Cruz
Founder & Travel Designer
Movement, cultural curiosity, and a deep respect for place have long shaped Viviane’s path.
Born and raised in Sao Paulo, she spent over a decade working in marketing projects before pursuing studies in Ayurveda in both Brazil and India – later founding her own wellness studio.
A subsequent move to the island of Korcula in Croatia marked a new chapter, leading to twelve years within a Relais & Chateaux property. This experience deepened her understanding of how environments, pacing, and thoughtful service shape meaningful travel.
This period reinforced a growing belief that meaningful environments, thoughtful pacing, and sensory comfort are essential to how travel is experienced.
Through Viveres Selections, Viviane brings together her cross-cultural perspective, hospitality experience, and personal connection to the Adriatic to curate journeys designed with intention and care.
