Our top tip:
A wonderful vacation for people traveling solo, as there is no single supplement. And don’t fear a competitive sporty vibe. It’s about finding your own way, not a forced way, to fitness.
Trip type:
Small group vacation
Activity level:
Fitness vacation with a capital F.
Accomm:
Luxury rooms in small resort.
Included:
Luxury accommodation, wellness consultation, 5 days fitness programme, meditation classes, spa and pool facilities, full board detox meals, airport transfers.
Solos:
Solo travelers welcome with NO single supplement.
Accessible tourism overview:
Many of our guests are recovering from illness, injury, surgery or have long standing health issues and a little time away at a retreat can be extremely beneficial as part of the healing and recovery process. It is super important to us that we can offer the very best support to our guests, we have 2 x Doctors ( one of whom is a naturopath ), plus specialists in rehabilitation, counsellors & life coaches on our team, who all work synergistically together to ensure the very best health & wellness experience.
Limited mobility:
The retreat accommodation does have a lift plus spacious ground floor accommodation & we also offer a private door to door return airport transfer service for our guests. due to our small groups we are able to offer plenty of one-to-one attention & adaptations as required in classes & activities, however due to the physical location of the retreat & the geography of the premises (we are located in a mountainous region & the beach is a 10 minute walk away with an incline ) we also must be honest & state that the retreat complex would not be suitable for a wheelchair user.
Deaf or limited hearing:
We often host guests who are deaf or have limited hearing, in this case because our groups are small we can offer plenty of one-to-one attention. All of our teachers & instructors have experience of working with guests with limited hearing.
cognitive conditions:
We are always very happy to help our guests in any way that we can, & so please do ask us if you have any concerns or need assistance with any aspect of a retreat / facilities that may be required. We are not a medical facility but we have catered for people with bipolar disorder/ ADHD/ depression and severe sleep issues.
'free from' food:
we cater for all of our guests special dietary needs, food allergies, food intolerance, vegan, vegetarian, we are as standard gluten free, dairy free, wheat free as they are the most common foods to which people are intolerant, all of our menus are "alkaline based" & take advantage of the fabulous fresh organic produce that we have available to us here in this part of Spain...we also have 3 specialist nutritionists on our team ( each has their own area of expertise ) to assist our guests if required.
LGBT:
We offer a safe & supportive environment, this is extremely important to us. In line with this we also offer each & every guest sole use of their own private guest suite with NO single supplements to ensure that every traveler has the time & space in which to truly relax.

Carbon reduction
Your vacation will help support local people and conservation. We must also reduce CO2. Learn about the CO2 emissions of this vacation and how to reduce them.
Environment
Our accommodation is a purpose built hotel 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.
Community
The accommodation / Hotel complex we use employs local staff. All of our drivers, housekeepers, cook’s and therapists are local, , and we use local guides for both hiking and mountain biking, 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 Hotel use local suppliers and use goods and services from the local areas, this is particularly important during the autumn and winter months on 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 is gifted to a local children's home & charity.

This vacation proved to be a game-changer for me. I have learned so much about the facts behind looking after yourself and working to become healthier.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Don’t feel that you will be a square peg, don’t fret that you aren’t fit enough, don’t worry that you feel too fat. I was very unfit and obese and I worked at my own pace with the full care and support of the team and other guests. Just do it, this is the best money I’ve spent!
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes because it benefits local people and services, it also works to reduce waste especially plastics
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
10 out of 10, A Star!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Commitment and enthusiasm from the whole retreat team - organisers, chef, exercise instructors, therapists. First class throughout. Good-humoured, can-do attitude, nothing too much trouble. Quite a treat to have our own chef (Jason) to prepare every meal, suitably healthy, of course! Super location, a 15 minute walk from attractive (mostly rocky) coastline.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
You only really need to pack exercise/kit/casual comfortable clothing, even for mealtimes. All very relaxed. Bring something to wear on your feet in apartment, e.g. flipflops or slippers, as floors are tiled and can be chilly in winter months. Don't forget swimsuit for indoor pool/jacuzzi in winter, or large outdoor pool in warmer months. Take care when booking flights so that you arrive/depart in the "window" of free transfers, if possible. Be prepared for fairly steep terrain, and some stairs at apartments.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Local people were certainly employed as, e.g. drivers, gardeners, cleaners. Water for flushing loos is recycled. Beautiful gardens.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Excellent. Just as advertised. An enjoyable retreat, plenty of variety in exercise classes, and meals, with plenty of time for rest and relaxation in the afternoons and evenings. Excellent communication from the team, pre- and post-retreat. Very good accommodation, in private apartments, some with two bedrooms, around large private pool and attractive gardens.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
I really enjoyed the activities - yoga, pilates, circuit training - and the structure of the programme. The hosts were very friendly and approachable. We were given an apartment per person which was great as you didn't have to share with a stranger - and the apartment was spacious, modern and spotless
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
You don't need to take evening wear - usually after Pilates in the evening we would go straight to dinner. The apartment has a washing machine/tumble dryer - you can buy tabs at reception. You don't need beach towels or gowns - you can hire these again at reception.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
It wasn't obvious. My only negative point would be the use of plastic containers and cutlery - I'm sure there must be a better solution - I know there are biodegradable food packaging which could be used instead of plastic
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
It was a great 5 days/6 nights - I would definitely consider returning again next year.

There was not one stand out moment or experience because overall every aspect of this retreat was first class. Everything from communication, pre departure advice, accommodation, classes, instructors and food was excellent.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
There is no need to pack lots of clothes, you will spend the whole retreat in gym kit and there is a washing machine and dryer in your accommodation.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Certainly, all the food and produce was local as were the staff. The whole retreat observed all the principles of clean living and green principles.

The food was really amazing - top marks to the chef for making healthy food very tasty. Talks were engaging and interesting. Location was lovely and a great escape. I would definitely come back to get re-motivated into healthier ways!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Relaxing by the pool outside my luxury apartment each afternoon knowing the food and exercise meant I was going to come home feeling and looking better.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Pack light (it's very casual and there are washing machines in each apartment), try the classes but spend your time as you want to - I loved the yoga and Pilates but chose to take a walk along the cliff path instead of doing circuits - there's no pressure to do everything. Embrace the detox - there was all sorts of contraband in our group but the food was so good you didn't need it. There are 2 bed (but only one bathroom) apartments but even if you're with a friend (or daughter) I'd opt for separate apartments, it's the same price and it's great to have the privacy and a bit of separation.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The complex had measures to conserve water and power. There were local people employed there.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Excellent - luxurious accommodation, delicious healthy food, excellent instructors, a great group of people, stunning scenery and sunshine - and we came back lighter, detoxed and relaxed.
