Responsible tourism
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your vacation will help support conservation and local people.
Our accommodation is a purpose built luxury private gated complex, it was constructed using the principles of Feng Shui, it has its own modern sewage treatment plant which supplies all the water to the gardens. The units are very well insulated so that energy consumption can be kept to a minimum, heat in winter and cool in summer. The complex employs an "intelligent" building system, iHAS, this turns lights off automatically and regulates interior and exterior lights according to the level of darkness again reducing power consumption.The food served to our clients is, in-season, locally sourced and produced, unrefined, unprocessed and wherever possible organic, this means we can minimise packaging and support local growers and producers whilst ensuring our clients enjoy the very freshest produce possible.
In this region of Spain everyone recycles their waste, both individual households and business, glass, metal, plastic, paper and organic and garden waste.
All guests are informed and encouraged to be environmentally aware both inside and outside the complex, inside by conserving power and water and outside by understanding why it is so important to stay on the designated tracks when hiking or mountain biking, we limit our groups to a maximum of 12 people, not only does this ensure our clients receive individual attention but also less impact is made to the environment.
The Impacts of this Trip
The accommodation we use employs both power & water saving technology, they also have a recycling policy to limit consumption & impact upon services, the venue employs only local people. All of our drivers, housekeepers, health fitness & wellness team members and the spa and holistic therapists live locally , and we use local guides and instructors for both hiking and all of our outdoor activities, this not only offers employment to local people but also means that our clients benefit from genuine local knowledge that cannot be found in a guide book.
The owners of the retreat venue use local suppliers and purchase / use goods and services from the local areas, this is particularly important during the autumn and winter months in the coastal areas as when the summer tourists have left the unemployment rates soar.
All of the unused natural products supplied in our guest welcome bags are gifted to a local children's home & charity.

1 Reviews of Luxury alkaline detox & wellness retreat in Spain
Reviewed on 08 Sep 2018 by Emily Prince
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Yoga after a glorious sunrise, with the lovely smell of a Jasmine plant by the window, before a delicious and nutritious breakfast.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Remember you can dip in and out of any activity; we did yoga pre-breakfast, pilates pre-dinner and a range of "work out" sessions and walks in between. You can fill your time with treatments, I didn't book any and enjoyed reading by the pool and swimming in the sea. You can also have quiet time on your own or chat with the others in your group - we were 9 women, all independent travelers.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes - lots of local therapists and practitioners, all of whom were excellent. I was sad we had straws twice with breakfast smoothies - I well meant nice touch, but as I booked with R.T. I was sad about single use plastic. Ditto for the salads you could order on arrival and departure days.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Sheer bliss. An indulgence for me, but one that absolutely boosted by overall health and wellbeing. Julie the director has great attention to detail, and all staff have a personal touch to ensure you are benefiting and enjoying the most from your vacation.
Read the operator's response here:
Straws: We only offer straws on 2 occasions when smoothies are served, guests can decline their use, we have also been trialling a variety of alternatives & we already have paper straws available.
We do operate a very strict re-cycling policy which we adhere to & we also ask all of our guests to please also follow this policy, this is not only for the very limited use
