The whole retreat was fantastic - from the warm welcome at the airport, the comfortable accommodation, the fantastic group to giggle with and care and attention throughout from Alex and Estrella. Alex is an excellent instructor and so knowledgeable about the island. Estrella is a marvellous chef - please writ e book with your recipes! The excursions were all great. Cannot wait to go back! Highly recommend, excellent value.

The retreat had the perfect balance between yoga & pilates classes, hiking and relaxing. Alex is a great instructor; he is very professional but also engaged and people oriented. I was new to pilates but that wasn't a problem at all. He explained all exercises very clear and he used sport psychology methods during his classes - which I found really helpful. On top of this, the food was fantastic!

All in all, I would definitely recommend this retreat to others and I will definitely come back again :-) Alex, Leo and Estrella, thanks so much for everything! It's been a real (re)TREAT ;-)

Fabulous classes, an excellent program with fun hikes as well as trips to the beach. Alejandro could not be any better at making your holiday truly awesome.

If you are looking for a relaxing week of healthy living, daily Pilates, lots of laughter and great outdoor excursions, all set in a gorgeous and most hospital environment, you just found your retreat!

I recently spent a week at Sky Retreats in Gran Canaria and just had the best time! Alex is not only a very talented, clear and entertaining Pilates instructor, he and his team create for an atmosphere that totally makes you feel home away from home. Rooms are comfy and attractively decorated, and daily breakfast and dinner are prepared and served with so much care and love, and all come with lots of home-made, healthy and very yummy dishes. Both are served in a cozy covered outdoor area, that provides for a great environment for eating, conversing and laughter. If you want, you can even bring your own wine (or stronger) to the table, while all the rest (coffee, tea, water, fruit) is perfectly taking care of. The villa itself is set in a beautiful two-floor lush garden with plenty of little corners to relax in or take a moment for yourself. The heated pool invites for a nice cool down or swim, and is surrounded by sun loungers perfect for some tanning or reading (beach towels are provided as well!). Throughout the week, Alex will take you on three beautiful and fun excursions to explore other parts of the island: a cute beach and fisherman village in the south (bring your swim suits!), and two hikes with stunning mountains views in the north/center of the island. I'll be back!!

Thank you for the most amazingly relaxing and rejuvenating 8 days in Gran Canaria!! As this was my first retreat, I was dubious to how beneficial a retreat could be. After arriving at the beautiful villa, I felt instantly at ease and began to relax. I left the retreat as a different (and much relaxed) person.

I was lucky to be with an amazing group of people who really made my week. What an inspiring group of women I got to share this experience with!

Also Alex; thank you for being a wonderful host and showing us areas of the island I never would have ventured to myself. As a pilates novice, you were encouraging and really helped us all improve during our stay. Also thank you to Nayra for providing us with the most amazing yoga classes. You are a wonderful, inspirational person and I loved being in your presence. Your Yin classes and guided meditations were beautiful.

I'm going to miss my writing chair at the bottom of the garden! I hope to see you all again shortly!

Everything was even better than I had expected it to be!

Lovely people, peaceful place to stay and I enjoyed every single minute!
