The feeling of being totally nurtured with friendly instructors, several varieties of yoga, meditation with candles and incense, food made with great care and catering for individual needs, vision boarding was really good fun and so was the bouncing!

Het is een hele fijne plek om naar toe te gaan wanneer je alleen reist. De mensen die aan het retreat deelnemen waren allemaal even aardig en het was heerlijk dat je kon doen waar je zin in had. Niets verplicht je kan gewoon meedoen aan de dingen die je wil. De dames die de yoga gaven of de wandeling waren allemaal erg vriendelijk.

"Perfect retreat experience"
La Crisalida is the perfect place to relax and take time for yourself. There is a weekly schedule, with planned walks, yoga lessons, workouts and workshops. You choose yourself in which activities you want to take part. The yoga teachers and instructors are great.
The food that is served is delicious! Very healthy and balanced, and always full of taste.
It is 15 minutes walk to the beach and to the local national park.

"One week stay"
Great location for me I did lots of walking in the area and had more of a holiday than retreat as I didn’t really do the classes , I loved the food and juices and really enjoyed the experience of meeting lots of woman traveling solo, woman chat so easily and make each other so welcome. The staff were great and I had an amazing massage, better than many I’ve had in the past, I was is shared accommodation which was nice as I meet lots of people this way. I think it would be better to have one style of yoga each day throughout the week as well as all the other classes, this way if you wanted to actually learn a style of yoga after a week it would give an understanding. But the classes are a bit of everthing… it was a very easy going space to unwind and do what you liked . Dinner time clashed with sunset but that was in late October.

"Perfecta elección para desconectar y recargar energías"
El trato del personal del centro, desde que llegas, hasta que te vas.
La amplia variedad y calidad de actividades que se proponen, con sus distintos niveles y opciones,... Los entrenadores son muy buenos.
El centro en sí, es ideal para relajarse, la posibilidad de iniciarse en la alimentación vegana, la cercanía a la playa, la posibilidad de llegar y salir a distintas horas/días,... el clima, en fin... tantas cosas... pero quizás por encima de todo, la sensación de respeto por el bienestar de los demás.

The location was beautiful, Albir is a lovely resort which is a ten minute walk from the retreat. There was a good range of activities, to do as much or as little as needed. There was a good range of plant-based meals/juices to choose each day. The accommodation was lovely with various areas to sit and relax. The sauna and pools were also a bonus.

This is not a hardcore yoga retreat. There are 1-2 classes offered / day - all different types. But it’s so much more rounded as a wellness retreat. Plant based foods, elimination of toxins (alcohol, coffee, sugar, salt), and choices to juice (they are delicious!) for any meal. I wasn’t expecting too much from workshops but actually found them really helpful and insightful. I love the location of the retreat too, only a short walk (or run!) to the beach or up into mountainous parks. I came into this really needing a grounding in many areas of my life and the options for a choose-your-adventure approach were exactly what I needed. The staff - from the reception to housekeeping, to the instructors and the chefs - are all so kind and it’s truly a pleasure to engage. I’m walking away after 8 days feeling cleansed and reset and so glad I invested in this. I’ll miss the morning rooftop yoga with the gorgeous views!

Really wonderful retreat experience. Crisalida has so much to offer in terms of activities, something for everyone of you can lie by the pool or beach and relax. The food and atmosphere were amazing and all of the staff were so friendly and always ready to advise or help. It was especially nice that the retreat allows you to use the facilities etc before and after check out - such a thoughtful touch.
Amanda is the true gem of Crisalida - she is a wonderful yoga teacher, reiki master, aqua teacher, coach etc. She instantly created a safe space for all of us and brought both incredible insight and perspective as well as lots of fun and laughter.

"Feels like home…"
I had a wonderful experience at La Crisalida. There are several aspects that stood out to me. The food provided was not only tasty but also nutritious and healthy ( all vegan). The juices also were delicious. The accommodation was comfortable and serene, creating a peaceful environment. The staff was kind and helpful at all times.
The yoga classes were good, led by motivated instructors who guided us through a diverse range of practices. The classes were both challenging and rejuvenating. Additionally, the activities offered were engaging and enjoyable, providing a well-rounded experience that integrated yoga with other wellness practices.
While the location might not have been my favorite aspect of the retreat, the overall experience surpassed my expectations and left me feeling rejuvenated and inspired. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to immerse themselves in a rejuvenating wellness experience.

Lovely relaxing few nights away. I was travelling alone and they made me feel so welcome from start to finish. The reception team very welcoming even saved me some lunch. The location was 10 minutes walk from town so easy to get to beach shops etc. Very nice old Spanish town. I mainly did the yoga and enjoyed all the classes, Charlotte classes pushed me out of my comfort zone which was good and Amanda classes were very good, I leanrt a lot. Had 1 class with Sam who was very uplifting. There was so much to do. Or you could just chill by the pool. I liked this freedom. Met lots of nice interesting people, all very friendly. The food was very tasty something new every day and im not a vegan. It's really worth going especially if first time solo like me. Will be returning.

I loved the location and the accommodation. The grounds are really beautiful and the photos do not do justice. It is 15 mins from a really lovely beach with sunbeds and a great promenade for walking. All the staff including kitchen, reception, teachers and cleaners were really friendly and welcoming. Amanda and Charlotte were really superb yoga instructors (I didn't meet the others) and they also did other activities. The programme of activities is absolutely fantastic and I loved the Reiki especially and the sauna and the Lighthouse Walk. All the other guests were great too - very friendly. I will go again when I have a chance!

"Tranquility, vitality and energising in beauty"
Everything about La Crisalida Retreats was amazing! I was lucky to spend my birthday and New Years at the retreat with my 71 year old mum and older sister. The staff were so communicative and helpful pre and during booking and all throughout our stay, despite health problems with my family; They were so accommodating and caring. The meals were delicious, healthy and always filling! The juices were so delicious and particularly enjoyed the juicing demonstration!
The whole programme of activities is just wonderful, you can pick and choose as much as you want to do. With my main focus being yoga and wellness I was spoilt for choice and really got so much from our week there, learning so much more than I had expected.
The walks are absolutely stunning, with beautiful views of either the coastline or mountains and surroundings from beaches to hills and lighthouse over the sea.
I had some really profound, magical moments at the retreat.. I realised I arrived burnt out, frazzled, bloated and exhausted after the festivities in December - and after 6 days I’ve left feeling energised, peaceful, rested, more in tune with myself and more focussed for the year ahead.
The biggest gratitude goes to all the mentors (teachers) and therapists who put their heart and soul in to every activity or workshop, every personality different and offering new experiences each time, they really are what makes La Crisalida Retreat so enjoyable and special. Gracias a todos! I will be back x

Loved the classes on the terrace out in the sunshine under blue skies. Everything was well organised and you were free to join in with as much or as little as you wanted. The lovely beach was just a 15 minute walk where I swam every day.

"Ein inspirierendes Erlebnis "
Mir gefiel besonders die sehr freundliche und wertschätzende Atmosphäre, die ich überall spüren durfte. Beim gemeinsamen Essen waren es die schönen Gespräche mit anderen Teilnehmerinnen. Diese haben mir das Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit von der ersten Minute an gegeben. Ich habe mich als Teil einer bereichernden Gemeinschaft erlebt, und das tat mir sehr gut.
Das Essen war für mich eine neue Erfahrung, da ich bisher noch keine Erfahrung mit veganen und salzlosen Mahlzeiten gemacht habe. Ich fand sie überraschend gut und genau das Richtige, vor allem wenn man an die vielen Aktivitäten denkt.
Die verschiedenen Angebote dazu waren so zahlreich und interessant, dass ich anfangs möglichst alles mitmachen wollte😉. Die Kursleiterinnen Diana, Susanna und vor allem Amanda haben ihre Yoga-Sessions mit viel Engagement aber auch Einfühlungsvermögen geleitet. Ich habe mich sehr gut mitgenommen gefühlt.
Die Unterkunft und die Umgebung haben ebenfalls zu einem gelungenen Yoga-Retreat Erlebnis beigetragen. Die Zimmer sind liebevoll eingerichtet und boten alles und sogar mehr, als ich brauchte. Die Küche habe ich nur zum Zubereiten von Tees genutzt. Fernseher, DVD-Player, sowie die kleine Mediathek im Empfangsbereich boten ebenfalls weitere Möglichkeiten, sich mit Yoga-relevanten Themen zu beschäftigen, wenn man wollte. Da ich nur einen 4-Tage Trip gebucht hatte, habe ich nur wenig dieses Angebot nutzen können.
Die beiden Pools, vor allem der Magnesium Pool sind toll🥰

I have enjoyed all the activities especially the yoga classes and meditations. Juices were really tasty too, I juiced most mornings which kept me full until lunch time.

I like the fact you have that freedom to join the activities or not. The team was lovely and made you feel like at home.

la qualité des repas (même si ce n'est pas facile de suivre la cure détox quand les autres mangent à côté de vous, le soir surtout, le matin ou le midi, on peut plus facilement s'isoler).
la qualité des cours et la souplesse (j'y vais ou pas), l'agenda bien rempli qui peut convenir à tous

"A lovely oasis of calm in a crazy world"
La Crisilada was a very unexpected surprise. It very much exceeded my expectations - which were not too high. I really didn’t know what to expect and just trusted it would be a positive experience. It was that and a whole lot more. Fantastic staff, lovely environment and a sense of harmony and calm that permeated the entire place. I could not recommend this place more highly.

I liked the area , the team at la crisalida was very friendly & helpful. The yoga classes , treatments available & the ambiance . I would definitely stay there again as it allows you to completely be at peace but would opt for single accommodation.. Next time perhaps I will try juicing ..

The weekly programs are fantastic, from morning walks to the beach, hatha yoga, core exercise and to several other workshops the variety and quality was incredible.
I have learned a lot and had a fantastic time. The food is incredible, the staff is very friendly and helpful and I thoroughly enjoyed my massages.
I have never that rested in my life while still moving my body, learning a lot on a daily basis and having wonderful plant based food every day.

"Yoga Retreat 8 Days - out of this world"
I loved the programme, I loved the kind, accommodating staff behind the reception and also the great mentors/instructors for the classes such as Amanda and Charlotte.
I learnt a lot about the yoga poses and the spiritual connection.
The clay & spirit animal class was great. The hikes and sessions on the rooftop terrace.
Kundalini yoga was amazing. The taster of QiGong was odd as I learnt about it for the first time, but lovely to experience and understand the theory behind it.
I loved the experience, it really was great for me based on my main purpose to book this.
I could go on and on.
I would go back for sure.
It was like a small home with lovely hosts.

The yoga / fitness instructors were really knowledgable and happy to help with any questions.
The faculties were excellent and the magnesium pool was an absolute favourite of mine. Room was clean
Lots of varying activities with no pressure to join any of them.
Food was tasty and varied - really liked all the herbal teas as well.
Loved the beauty parlour and my massage was great.

I loved the empowerment, the kind and gentle approach. Amanda one of the instructors was loving, kind and very very good at her job. I enjoyed every class with her. John is amazing at his job and I would highly recommend having a one to one with him. The food and support around it is outstanding. The money I spent was worth every penny. I will be going back again next year and I have recommended this to all my family and friends. It’s the kindest and most loving thing you could ever do for yourself going to this beautiful place.

The best feature for me was the kindness of the staff. They were very friendly, helpful and nice. The other guests at the retreat were nice and friendly too, we had pleasant chats during meal times.
The house is pretty and Albir beach looks nice with its promenade and white pebbles.
There are a lot of activities to choose from, they keep you occupied almost all day if you wish. That is the other strong point, this retreat is best for those who want to immerse themselves in different activities and spend the remaining time at the pool.

"Incredible, Relaxing and Rejuvenating!"
Crisalida was exactly what I wanted it to be and more. It was amazing to meet so many wonderful, interesting women and you were never stuck for conversation. Equally, if you wanted alone time there was plenty of space and opportunity for that too.
The yoga was personally a good level of challenging for me, I had practiced it for a couple of years but have lower back issues and was always given alternatives where needed, as were many others with different ailments. I’ve actually noticed a difference in my alignment and strength since the trip that has eased my back pain slightly which I am forever grateful for!
I also loved all the other fitness classes, aqua aerobics, core classes, rebounding with trampolines - were all great for keeping my blood flow up and keeping my lower back active!
I was surprised by how enjoyable the walks were, I had no idea we would be that close to so many different walks with such incredible views, absolutely worth partaking in.
I also took part in the occasional day of juicing which I really enjoyed. Lots of variety in flavour, I’m not sure I actually drank the same thing twice! And was full after every meal and still able to do all the activities I wanted to do.
The Crisalida team were fantastic. From reception who knew my name as soon as I walked in the door (and saved me food from the previous meal!), to every yogi providing different styles of class and teaching, everybody was brilliant. Thank you!

I was travelling alone but the retreat is full of like minded people and is a very welcoming and friendly place to be. The staff are all great and they make your stay extremely pleasant at all times.

There's a full program and you can chose what you wish to participate in. There was yoga, meditation, making a vision board, rebounding (trampoline), aqua yoga, walks.
The instructors were all lovely and each of them were great in their own unique way. I have to say: a huge compliment to especially Betty, her attitude, joy, humor, positivity and whole being put me in a good mood. I also enjoyed Rafaela's dancing quite a lot.
The receptionist (brown haired lady who'd just started working there) was lovely and incredibly helpful.

"Een fantastische energy-boost voor lichaam en geest"
Voor het eerst een 3 daagse detox (juicing) gedaan en drie maal daags kregen we grote glazen gevuld met heerlijke én verassend voedzame groente-en fruit sappen. De relaxte sfeer die de accommodatie uitstraalt is ideaal om volledig tot rust te komen. Iedereen kan zelf het moment van aankomst en vertrek bepalen. Samen met een vriendin verbleef ik vijf dagen op La Grisalida. Op basis van het overzichtelijke rooster van lessen/workshops bepaal je zelf waar je aansluit. Wij combineerden yoga-lessen met wandelen en fietsen (verderop in het dorp te huur) om zo de mooie omgeving te ontdekken. Ook de verschillende ontmoetingen met mensen van over de hele wereld op de retreat was een fijne bijkomstigheid.

I had the most amazing experience. The staff were fantastic. The instructors were absolutely brilliant. The beauty therapy was the best I've ever had. I had a back massage and a facial. I've never eaten any type of vegan food before it was delicious. I never felt hungry. My only comment would be to revamp the rooms they are a bit tired. It's very well organised. There is no pressure you can do whatever you want. I will definitely be back I can't wait to see you all again.

"Peaceful, beautiful experience"
As a novice to a yoga retreat this was a brilliant introduction. The retreat is lovely, set next to beautiful mountains in a lovely villa. The layout is both private and inclusive. I was travelling on my own but felt I had enough privacy as well as being able to mix with other people. I particularly loved my private room which had its' own south facing terrace (flat 5) and the other side was right by the heated magnesium pool. during my morning meditation on my terrace I could hear the birds and breathe in the fresh air whilst the sun came up - bliss. The activities are varied and there is something for everyone, the instructors are so friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. You can take it as slowly as you like. the location of the retreat is also brilliant, a relaxed 10/15 minute stroll from a beautiful beach with plenty of shops and cafes on the way. As for the food - wow - so delicious and nutritious! I felt so relaxed and fulfilled after my stay at La Crisalida - I can't wait to go back soon! I highly recommend having a treatment whilst you are there, I had a holistic relaxing massage on my first night, it was lovely and so nice to be able to just cross the garden to my flat for a very peaceful nights sleep :-)
Highly recommended beautiful place - Thank you!!

The excellent quality of services supplied by all team members : quick replies to emails, pick-up and return to airport perfectly planned, a very large choice of activities besides the two daily yoga classes : walks, mental health workshops, aquarobics, cooking demo etc.
the choice between a single room, a shared room and a shared
appartment.

"Like a warm hug!"
From the minute I walked through the door, I was welcomed with by a friendly woman who offered me tea and sat me down to settle in. I was shown straight to my room which was cosy and practical. Instantly, you feel a calm atmosphere as you walk through the retreat and get used to your surroundings. You are given a guided tour followed by a welcome tour to ensure you know exactly where everything is and how to find things.
There is a lovely little sauna which you can pop into free of charge (you may want to book this for a certain time to avoid disappointment), there is a cosy yoga room and roof terrace for those sunny days. There are 2 pools - one heated magnesium pool and one cool pool (which is great for a dip if you're into sea dipping like me!). Everywhere was always clean and tidy and everyone was very helpful if you ever needed anything.
The food was delicious and truly was a rainbow on your plate each day. You are offered a juice cleanse as an alternative to a meal but regardless you have the opportunity to try each juice in a smaller form alongside your food each mealtime.
There is constant access to teas of all different sorts; making tea gets a little addictive I must say! And they're always topped up! As well as this, there are always little slices of lemon or ginger for you to pop into your water or tea!
Overall, I honestly cannot fault the experience. I met some amazing people and have never felt so zen in my life!
Thank you!

I extended my stay, just so I could enjoy some more time at La crisalida. Everything was just absolutely perfect, there is nothing I would change or improve: welcoming staff, delicious food ( and I m not a vegan), fantastic daily program with many different activities and yoga styles. Absolutely every single teacher is fantastic and super prepared, but a special mention goes to Amanda’s yoga classes, simply delightful and to Juan Carlos massage, best of my life. Accommodations are lovely, super super clean and equipped with all necessary and I was lucky a enough to meet just a bunch of incredible woman during my stay. Truly recommended, I hope I will be back.

Op een rustige locatie ligt een knus en gezellig resort met een vriendelijke sfeer. Het personeel geeft je een warm welkom en een gevoel alsof je thuiskomt. De ruimtes zijn leuk en met zorg ingericht. De kamers zijn netjes en schoon.
De kok is buitengewoon briljant! Ik verheugde me iedere keer op de maaltijden.
De yoga instructrices zijn professioneel en vriendelijk en laten je geheel vrijblijvend deelnemen aan alle cursussen, zonder oordeel en met zorg en aandacht.

"Sehr inspirierend"
Ich konnte spontan & flexibel bei den Aktivitäten mitmachen, bei denen ich wollte. Es brauchte keine An-/ Abmeldung dazu.
Ich habe unterschiedliche Yogastile kennengelernt, so auch mich mit Meditation & plant-based Food beschäftigt.
Viele Inputs habe ich bekommen, die ich nun peu-a-peu in meinen Alltag einpflegen werde.
Kann gut sein, dass ich wieder dahin gehe, kann dieses Retreat wärmstens weiterempfehlen!

Everything is done here to make life easy: the welcome, the food buffet, the classes, coaching, rooms, all goes very smooth as if there are no problems at all. The ideal context for a good vacation. Yoga classes are easy-going, with no pressure at all to do difficult things. Ideal if you are a beginner or intermediate level.

The retreat center is a peaceful place and I really enjoyed its facilities (two swimming pools, terrace for sunbathing, yoga terrace...). You can create your own schedule by chosing to attend the classes offered or just relax at a pool, go for a walk, or to the beach (20-25min by foot). I especially enjoyed the inspiring workshops and classes with Betty, and also the yoga classes with Laura. The week I was there, I had like 4-5 different instructors and the quality their classes varied a bit. The administrative staff was always nice and helpful.

What a wonderful place to reconnect with yourself, to relax, and detox body and mind. I met so many wonderful people from all over the world. There was a very relaxed atmosphere.

From the different levels and types of yoga classes, the meditations, aqua aerobics, to the walks and the workshops, everything seemed to work together, and we enjoyed all the activities. All staff excellent and very friendly!

I had a great time. Everybody was really kind en personal in communication. It’s a good place to come alone, cause you will meet up easy people that also travel alone. The program has many choices to offer between 8.00 AM and 9.00 PM. You can choose what ever you feel like to.
Also the food was really great, plant based. And loved the 2 swimmingpools and sauna.

"Wonderful break "
La Crisalida is a lovely retreat with very friendly and knowledgeable owners and staff. Everyone was nice and helpful. The food was outstanding, especially as I have not eaten a plant based diet before and it was all very tasty and satisfying. There was a full programme of activities that you can decided which to attend and which not to attend, I enjoyed all of those that I attended as well as enjoying relaxation time by the pool. It is in a lovely area and a good base to walk to close by towns, a national park and the beach.
I would definitely recommend and will visit again!

"A calm Organised yet relaxed way of running a retreat "
This retreat is set in a semi residential area close to a national park and a beautiful beach. It is possible therefore to pick and choose how ‘retreated’ you wanted to be. A full timetable of yoga exercise workshops etc interspersed with juices and fabulous plant based food. No salt sugar tea coffee alcohol etc induced a healthy mandate. The freedom to choose how healthy is up to you. I juiced for 3 days and ate the amazingly varied food and still lost 2.5kg in 6 days.
The location near to Altea created an opportunity to see one of the prettiest Spanish villages on the last might with 2 other guests. That and the lighthouse walk were the visual highlights.
All in all the team create an atmosphere of calm
Super clean & organised for COVID
Thoroughly recommend

"Life Enhancing "
I really appreciated all aspects of the retreat programme - a busy but well paced schedule, with plenty of choice to suit the individual. I left relaxed, fitter, more knowledgeable about making balanced, healthy life choices, and lost weight without really trying.
The whole staff team were amazing, every person was friendly,helpful and knowledgeable, which ensured a totally worry-free experience for us all as their guests. This as well as 1:1 conversations with staff and other like-minded guests from all over the world gave me the space, opportunity and confidence to make important decisions about my health and my future which I am taking forward into my daily life.
Thank you La Crisalida!

The resort is quite charming with lots of character. The apartments are spacious & comfortable. Staff are friendly & helpful and experts in their field. The daily timetable is full of varied & interesting topics covering different types of yoga, health & wellbeing. Gusts can participate as much or as little as they like. Beautiful chef prepared vegan food is served around communal tables 3 times a day. Guests ranged from yoga novices like me to teachers, all very lovely & welcoming & from all over the world. 5 minutes walk away is Albir shopping centre with a mix of restaurants & shops - perfect if you just really fancy a cup of coffee!

If you want some 'me' time then this is the place to go. You can do as little or as much as you want and there is a varied array of activities to choose from. The setting is lovely and the walks give you a great opportunity to see your surroundings. The feeling of community means that you are welcomed and absorbed into the group very quickly so don't worry about going on your own, as most people have travelled that way.

I loved the full schedule and the fact that nothing overlapped, so it gave everyone the opportunity to partake and each and every class or workshop, should they wish to do so. There was a large variety of yoga styles and yoga teachers, which meant there was something for everyone. Tania was particularly marvellous and I enjoyed all of the classes I did with her because I felt she really took the time to explain everything and to allow each person to arrive at their version of yoga or meditation and was able to assist with wherever you were at. Juices were delicious, food was innovative and lip smackingly delicious. All staff were fabulous and super friendly loved it!

"A wonderful weekend break!"
I arrived in the afternoon after a super easy and efficiently organised transfer and was immediately greeted with a warm and friendly welcome from Nicola at Reception. Lunch was already on, and I was offered to get stuck in and introduced to my roommates as they were handily there for lunch!
Nicola showed me around my room and let me know which bed was mine for the next few nights. I was given a programme and told I could join absolutely anything without booking- fantastic!
My room was comfortable and clean, with a selection of herbal teas available and drinking water provided. In terms of facilities, the magnesium pool was fantastic and fairly quiet so great for a dip! I didn't brave the unheated pool- but the new infrared sauna is INCREDIBLE.
I was mainly here for the yoga classes and I really enjoyed the range, from Yin to Hatha Flow, to more Iyengar style yoga- thankfully I was familiar with all types, so I knew what to expect and instructors did a great job of modifying poses for others with injuries or less experience.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed other activities such as visionboarding, meditation, guided meditation and walking meditation- there's something for everyone and the team are all excellent at their jobs!
The views of the guided walks were fantastic, and those who were unsure footed were helped every step of the way! A perfect long weekend!

Le fait de pouvoir arriver le jour qui nous arrange est vraiment un plus pour ce lieu de retraite. Météo excellente durant la période hivernale. La variété des cours a été très appréciée (ballades diverses, workshops, choix divers de cours de yoga) Les repas sont excellents mais il faut savoir que la cuisine est SANS sel et vegan. Le personnel est accueillant et toujours à l’écoute des éventuels maux que les participants peuvent avoir (la question est posée à chaque début de cours de yoga). Excellent séjour. Le lieu se trouve à 10 min à pied de la mer ce qui est très dépaysant ! Merci

"A great few days to relax and rejuvenate."
Enjoyed sharing meals with the other guests and staff, it made for a very welcoming and social atmosphere. English was the main language spoken although guests came from all over Europe. Accommodation was very comfortable and clean although only used it to sleep as the program was full. Having said that there was no pressure to do any activities. The food was very healthy and plenty of it: it was the first time I had tried a vegan diet and no dairy salt bread or caffeine for 4 days so that was a bit of a challenge but was good to do.
I enjoyed the different styles of yoga and the walks gave an opportunity to explore this lovely area; don’t be put off by the close proximity of Benidorm this area is so much more!
The staff arranged transfers from the airport which worked well and as a bonus on my departure day I was able to stay and join in the activities then shower and picked up a packed meal before leaving for the airport at 5pm.
The flexibility of booking when it suites you rather than the hotel is another bonus so you can get away for a 3 night stay. Weather was great in February, cool in the evening but sunny and warm during the day.

I went with my mum who is a yoga beginner whilst I have done a lot more. The classes were all very varied and adaptable so as to work really well for both of us. The age group was wonderfully well mixed so both of us were easily able to connect with others on the retreat. The variety, quality and healthiness of the food is great. Each teacher has a unique and professional style which gave a really inclusive feel for the different types of people attending. Good location in a peaceful suburban setting allowing for easy access to town, beach and national park walks. Ample space for times when either privacy or social interaction is desired. Plenty of friendly, helpful staff, all very willing to hold space and give extra personalized time beyond their remit. Overall a really wonderful and all-encompassing experience.

"Avoiding Christmas"
La Crisalida is a wonderful place to relax and get away from it all. The accomodation and retreat itself, whilst not 5* luxury, was just perfect. Set in a quiet residential area in the town of Albir, east of Benidorm, there are walks all around, up into the hills, along a delightful path to the lighthouse, along the promenade to the town of Altea.
There is a great mix of classes, done on a rolling programme so it doesn't matter what time or day you arrive; there is always something to do. There is no enforced complusion to do anything, do as little or as much as you like.
The food is vegan, delicious and plentiful. I don't think I've ever eaten so much and I'm a confirmed meat eater. There was also the option of juicing at any or all of the meals.
I spent 4 days at the retreat with a delightful group of people, mainly ladies, of all ages, and it was them, as much as the place itself, that made my stay so wonderful. Added bonus, the weather was unseasonably hot, so plenty of sunbathing. Thoroughly recommend especially as a solo traveller.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön, die Zimmer liebevoll eingerichtet, sodass man entspannen kann. Das Essen ist wirklich top! Super lecker und für jeden ist immer was dabei. Wenn man Allergien hat, wird darauf Rücksicht genommen. Auch die Säfte sind super. Da ich jedoch kein Juicing vorhatte und mein primäres Ziel auch nicht das Abnehmen war, genoss ich lieber das normale Essen, das übrigens auch sehr abwechslungsreich war.
Den ganzen Tag hat man etwas zu tun, sodass es wirklich nicht langweilig wird. Wenn man jedoch keine Kraft/Lust/kein Interesse an etwas hat, ist man jederzeit frei, etwas anderes zu tun.
Ich habe die Zeit sehr genossen.

The staff is so careful about customers' needs, they really do their best to make you feel confortable and at ease. Yoga classes are very good and of different styles.The workshops were very interesting an helpful for my personal growth. I have loved the group walks that allowed me to see the wonderful surrounding areas up to the hills. The Campo walk was challenging and the view from there was astonishing. The food is healthy and delicious, I felt very energetic, I have also juiced for two days at lunch which was a good surprise for me as I was full after only drinking it, I felt better after eating in this way for 4 days.I enjoyed the 2 swimming pools, it was good to have one with warm temperature, they were the best places where to spend the siesta time. I have met lovely people from different countries which made my retreat experience even more enjoyable. After 4 days I feel regenerated and more focused on what I need and what I want to do. I would strongly recommend this retreat and I hope to have the chance to go back!

A big thank you to the wonderful cooks and also the activities instructors who really made the stay a wonderful experience. I practice yoga regurlalry at home, but I even learned from the beginner classes as the instructors really explain well and break it down to the basics.

They would talk youbtheough why you were doing moves the way you were. I loved the Yin yoga with Tessa and the Hatha flow with Amanda. The walls were wonderful, great choices - probably my favourite part. Great food, I feel so healthy after a relatively short period of 3 days. The freedom to come and go as you please without pressure was brilliant. Just an all round excellent experience. Thank you all!!

The structure was there in terms of meals, activities and friendly and supportive staff, but there was also freedom to choose what you wanted to do and where you wanted to go. During my stay I walked to the beach to swim in the sea a couple of times, so you can mix and match your time as you wish. Each yoga session had a different focus which helped to support your own practice. The meals were varied and delicious. The rooms were comfortable and had everything you needed, and if not the staff were quick to make sure your needs were met. As another reviewer said, it's the staff that makes this place. During my stay it felt like instructors, reception staff, cooks, housekeeping and gardeners were all part of the same positive genuine and caring team.

The fact that guests are arriving and leaving every day is actually very nice as there are always some people who are settled in and can show you the ropes and report on their experiences, and also the constant shift means you are always making new friends. The flexibility in whether you attend classes or whether you juice or eat meals is really good as it means you can adapt what you are doing to your own needs and daily state of being!

This trip was just what I needed to unwind after a busy year. I loved the flexibility of the retreat, choosing what I wanted to do, and loving every minute of it! Meeting amazing women from all over the world, who all are taking the time to love themselves; nutritionally, physically, and emotionally, was incredible. The supportive and positive staff and instructors all went above and beyond, my needs came first, and they genuinely care. I cannot wait to return next year!

"4 fantastic days at La Crisalida "
We have just returned from 4 days at the wonderful la Crisalida centre. We truly did not want to leave and would recommend it to everyone.
All the staff there were so friendly and welcoming. They were all approachable, caring and knowledgeable; from the guys on reception, to the domestic staff and mentors. The programme they offer is varied and busy and you have the choice of doing as many as the activities as you like or as few; you are on holiday after all!
The tuition from all mentors was very good. As someone who has a lot of experience of yoga the teaching helped remind me where I had perhaps become a little lazy in my everyday practice and I've left with a renewed sense of focus. For beginners the tuition was thorough, easy to follow and encouraging and guidance was available for those who required it.
The food was outstanding and I have returned home feeling cleansed and full of energy. I wanted to go on the retreat to try and learn the skills to bring more stillness in my life. I find it difficult to meditate and switch off but I learnt some new techniques during my stay that I hope will help me.
The facilities and apartments were comfortable, clean and cosy.
We made some friends for life and will definitely return but for longer next time.
Thanks to everyone involved in making la Crisalida such a wonderful place.

"2,5 days felt like a week of relaxation"
La Crisalida is the perfect place for either a short or a longer break. I went there alone and just for three nights, but after the first day I already felt like being part of that lovely La Crisalida "Family". I liked the idea of being totally flexible while being at a retreat. Like this I could better listen to my body and mind and to what it needs right now (on one day it was a 2 hours siesta :D ).
I also really liked learning about the EFT-Tapping. I never heard of it before and it might be a little gamechanger for me now :)
And as a bonus I got a whole apartment for myself even that I booked a shared room.
All in all when I left 2,5 days later I felt like being there for one week as I was totally at ease and relaxed.

"Great yoga retreat "
I really enjoyed everything. I liked the food selections, everything was not too strange to what i would normally eat. Very nice flavours and very tasty. Good healthy foods that fill me up. The juices are also good and tasty. I liked the walks although challenging it was a good way of exercise. I liked the yoga and meditation classes i have learnt some techniques to use at home. I enjoyed rebounding to get a more cardio workout. It was a good balance of activities to choose from. I Released i could not do it all as planned as my body needed to rest which was also nice to do by the pool in the beautiful sunshine. I would like a bit more cardio or higher intensity classes to get a workout maybe a Zumba class as being in Spain (just a thought). The staff are very friendly also say hello and help and answer any questions i had. The guest are also friendly and welcoming. It was great to meet new people and have company when traveling alone. Overall I really enjoyed my time and would definitely like to return and do more days. I have already recommended this retreat to my friends and family who are now showing an interest in yoga retreats. It is a good way to start a lifestyle change and experience different things whether to go for a detox, weight loss, relaxation or well being, this retreat offers a lot and its up to yourself on how much you want to do, to get what you want out of it.

Es war ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt mit einem abwechslungsreichen Programm, da eine Vielzahl von Teachern.

Dadurch entsteht eine offene Amosphäre, die sich auf die Gäste überträgt. Man kommt sehr schnell in Kontakt mit anderen Gästen und ist im Nu eine Familie. Und wer das nicht mag, kann sich jedrzeit in sein Zimmer zurückziehen, denn die sind auch mit Herz eingerichtet.
Parallel besteht ein großes Angebot an unterschiedlichen Massagen und anderen Anwendungen, die in der Anlage angeboten werden und den Urlaub abrunden.

From the first email and phone conversation I had this fantastic feeling that La Crisalida is the place for me. Straight from the airport I was addressed and taken care for. On arrival I was way past lunch time but lovely ladies took care of me and presented me with most amazing vegan plate I could ever imagine. My room was ready and I could join in to the activities straight away. My first two yoga session was with Rachel. She's like an angel to my soul💜. Every day I took part in all the activities because it would be shame to skip one. The walks, yoga, life transformation and detox program is designed to help you step into right path in your life. I am grateful for the care and love put in to the retreat, very personal, warm and friendly. Thank you all at the retreat. 🙏

I love the fact there are loads of things on every day but you can do as little or as much as you want. I loved Tessa's yoga classes and Rachel's pilates classes. I loved yoga on terrace in the sunshine. I love the location - so near to a hill to climb, a lighthouse walk (beautiful in the early morning) and a beach and a town. You never feel like you are stranded in the middle of nowhere. I feel wonderful after 4 days eating a vegan diet and doing exercise all day - just what I needed! I also thought the accommodation was great - very luxurious and everything provided that you might need.

I felt at home from the second I stepped into the reception at La Crisalida. And the feeling didnt stop until the day I left.
Exceptional food, friendly staff, superb classes and the retreat is situated in a breathtakingly picturesque location. I thoroughly recommend spending time at La Crisilada if you are looking to relax and detox. I sometimes can feel out of sorts when I detox and was concerned about being away from home without my creature comforts and maybe feeling irritable. I need not have worried as it seemed everything to make you comfortable during your stay was thought of, even down to cosy hot water bottles! I have already booked to visit again this year.

Das Essen war vegan, zucker- und brotfrei und extrem abwechslungsreich und lecker. Wer wollte, konnte auch "juicen" - eine bekannte Entgiftungsmethode. Ich habe allerdings lediglich eine Mahlzeit pro Tag durch einen frisch gepressten Saft ersetzt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist auch der Masseur Juan Carlos - der Mann ist sehr wissend und hat in meinen Augen "goldene Hände".

"A great short break - next time I'll stay for longer!"
I visited la Crisalida for a little pre-holiday break/detox. Everything was nicer/better than I'd imagined. The transport from the airport was easy, the welcome session with staff was a great intro to how the place ran, and I loved the yoga classes, walks and workshops. The food was amazing and I tried juicing for the first time while I was there (in combination with having some vegan meals). One of the best parts was meeting the other guests and staff.
The room was super cozy and I slept like a rock every night after the full day of activities. I left feeling lighter, happy and relaxed.
It was too cold to use the pool areas so next time I will come in summer so I can relax poolside during our siestas. Thanks, La Crisalida!

There are plenty of activities from 7am the 9pm. You choose how much you want to participate and whether or not you stay on site. Apart from therapies it is all inclusive which removes all the stress of where to go and what to eat. The food was great. All plant based and they were accommodating around food intolerances. The accommodation is excellent. The weather was superb. If you do need to escape the town is just a 10 minute walk away. The staff are super friendly and helpful. I went with a really sore back and left feelling 90% better and not needing my pain meds since l came home yesterday. A combo of yoga and an amazing lndian Head Massage left me feeling rebooted after what had been a stressful few days wondering if l would be well enough to manage the journey and other obstacles. So grateful l made it!

Most friendly and laid-back atmosphere I have come across at a yoga retreat. So many activities but you can opt out of anything if you want to relax. You can opt in and out of the juicing as well. Nice little town nearby with a beach if you want to go shopping and I didn’t make it to the old town but apparently v nice. The weather was great in early October (25•C) spent time by the pool. The early morning walks were spectacular especially up to the lighthouse. The best things is they take bookings for any time so you can arrive any day and stay as long as you like.

I love the flexibility they offer in a wide range of activities that you can opt in or out of. You don’t need to book yourself in so you literally can decide last minute. They also have two lovely pools you can relax by, great vistas and a range of holistic treatments that I also took advantage of!! The food is delicious and healthy and you can opt to juice. All the teachers had a calmness about them and are highly skilled at what they teach - I was a beginner in everything so this really helped. My favourite bits were learning different ways to meditate, the walks, learning different styles of Yoga so I could pick my preferred and trying things i’d never even heard of.. I.e Qi Cong! I loved the experience so much I want to book soon to return...(many people I met were returners, which speaks volumes)

"Séjour sain et agréable dans un climat de vacances"
Pouvoir suivre un régime alimentaire detox tout en étant entourés de personnes qui sont dans le même cas, et avoir la liberté de suivre les activités à sa guise (il faut aussi savoir se mettre des limites, car on est facilement tentés de tout essayer. C'est un séjour relax, pas un marathon!). Le personnel est agréable, et à l'écoute. Il y règne une atmosphère positive, et le cadre est reposant. La plage et le centre-ville sont à 20 min à pied, donc il est facile d'associer les loisirs à ce séjour. L'eau, les tisanes et les fruits sont à notre disposition, sans limite. J'ai appris pas mal de choses sur la cuisine vegan, notamment à travers une démonstration (2 recettes). Après quelques jours, on devient plus réceptif aux saveurs, et en rentrant, on remarque plus facilement si quelque chose contient trop de sel ou de sucre, ce qui est bien à long terme, car ça nous pousse à adopter de bonnes habitudes.

La Crisalida Retreat was a perfect place to be for some days. We were here mainly for doing yoga, but there were also other activities we could join. The atmosphere was relaxed and we were taken very good care of. The other guests were very friendly and there was a good mix of age and gender when we stayed there. The food was really good, and for non-vegans like ourselves it was very interesting to try this type of food over a longer time period. Though, I have to admit that the amount of calories is a bit low if you plan to do more intensive activities during your stay. But for hiking and yoga, it works fine. The yoga instructors were very observant and came around adjusting everyone in class. So I believe my yoga technique and poses have been improved.
Usually, I would like to have more active sessions in yoga and other more intensive work-outs, but in the summer heat it was perfect with this level of activities. I also had a deep tissue massage during my stay, wonderful! I can definitely recommend this retreat!

"Great experience "
I really enjoyed trying the different types of yoga. I also enjoyed the walks. The retreat is great as it provides flexibility for guests to do their own thing. I net so many people even during my short stay and especially liked coming togethrr for meals as it provided a great opportunity to get to know other guests. I higly recommend this especially for solo travellers.

"Wonderfull experience"
Everyone in the retreat is smiling the whole day. People enjoy working there. You feel part of a family. The food and juices are wonderful, I enjoyed the cooking an juicing demo, the rebounding and aqua aerobics, the walks, and of course the yoga classes. Even for an absolute yoga beginner like me they were patient and helped me improve every time. The yoga instructors are the best. All the workshops I attented were very interresting. I left this place with a good, relaxed feeling.

The organisation is perfect. The best teacher is Rafaela. The program offered various choice of activities which is great. Christina the massus is fantastic. The accommodation is very typical Spanish which is a plus and the pools are heated.

"Amazing, friendly, inclusive experience"
I went on my own and loved the atmosphere, such friendly people, staff were warm and inclusive and the food was out of this world, different every day and always varied and interesting. I felt comfortable and welcomed from the first minute. The accommodation isn't new or smart but is spotlessly clean and comfortable, and the town nearby is pretty. The walks/hikes for me were a real highlight too. Would definitely recommend la Crisalida!

Lisa's classes were exceptional - clear, concise and adapted to everyone in the room; the quality of food was great; loved the rooftop terrace for yoga - was wonderful to feel the breeze; the flowers around the pool were beautiful, and it was mainly quiet in that area so easy to relax; variety of classes was good - I enjoyed trying new types of yoga and will definitely be taking up Yin! The whole place has a relaxed vibe. Also loved the tea station!

- Convivial and easygoing atmosphere, tucked away from the swarms of sunburnt expats in Albir and nearby Benidorm.

"Yoga Retreat Albir/Benidorm"
The retreat is located very well in a peaceful and quiet area of Albir with access to the fantastic promenade that takes you from Albir all the way to Altea and beyond. All the guests and staff were friendly and most of the yoga instructors were excellent. There was an excellent library of books, videos and games to borrow and advice on walks/runs in the area. The juicing menu was amazing with excellent combinations of fruit and veg, I was so inspired that I've now bought my own juicer! If you want an 'interesting' day away a trip to Benidorm is a must!

I really enjoyed the yoga classes - the instruction was of a high standard and Emma and Sossi did a great job of instructing for all levels. I was also impressed by the variety of the other activities that were provided as I never expected that there would be sure a choice. There is a very relaxed atmosphere at the retreat and staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly. Great place to meet people, eat healthy food, detox and relax.

"A very relaxing break."
I liked the relaxing atmosphere, you could do as much as you liked.
The yoga classes were just right, there were plenty of things to do if you wanted. The rooms were very clean.I learnt new things from the juicing demos and enjoyed the vegan menu that was available, I have continued since coming home juicing and watching the food I eat, reducing my tea and practicing yoga. It has made quite a difference and was worth the trip.

"Four days of bliss"
From the moment I arrived the staff were so welcoming and friendly. Most people had come on their own and there was a lovely atmosphere sitting round large tables for all meals. The yoga classes were very well run with expert teachers for all abilities. The staff even put on Rebound for me even though it wasn't on the timetable for when I was staying! I opted for a private studio which was beautiful and very comfortable with all amenities (except shower gel!) A very varied itinerary of activities where you can opt in or out - there is no pressure on you at any time. Food vegan or juicing and excellent quality and variety. Basically loved my whole experience and have come back renewed and ready to face the world.

"A much needed getaway"
The retreat was not exactly how I had pictured it to be - it was certainly much better. Having the freedom to do as many or little yoga classes, and having the choice of opting in or out of having juices as meals, was great - it allowed me to listen to the needs of my own mind & body and adjust accordingly. I was surprised to see so many lone travellers, but with such a friendly and open atmosphere we really felt like a little community both at or away from the dining table! I met so many inspiring people. After a few days I lost the concept of time, and really relaxed into it - even my Fitbit was telling me my average heart rate fell by 5 bpm over those days which it hasn't done in well over 2 years! I'm not a vegan, but eating here made me realise how delicious vegan food can be, not once did I crave meat, dairy or sugar. After a week of being back in Copenhagen, I'm no longer feeling the need to drink caffeine (and I used to be the world's grumpiest person without my morning coffee). I had a massive headache on my second day, which dragged into my third day, and not wanting to let it ruin my short stay there I headed into town for a coffee, and it did wonders. Drinking just 2 coffees in 4 days helped me cut down from my usual 4 to 1 cup per day here at home. And having the added bonus of great weather really lifted my mood, and made my stay with an old friend one of the best reunions - we are aiming to be back next year!

La Crisalida Retreats is the ideal place to go if you a feeling a bit burnt out, in need of a bit of self-care or would just like to relax. The location is close to the beautiful town of Altea, and a stunning natural park, and the beach of course! The shared apartment was perfect, a lovely living room to relax although I was mostly in classes! It was a little too cold to swim but the two swimming pools looked great.

The teaching was excellent, the staff incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and inspiring. La Crisalida is beautiful and the food delicious. The rooms aren’t luxurious but they’re very clean and comfortable in every way. The massage was possibly the best I’d ever had and my time in La Crisalida was everything I could have wanted. The guided walks every day were a lovely bonus to the multiple yoga classes and the days flew by. A welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and the other guests were also very lovely and friendly, so it made for a very special stay. Thank you!

The food at the retreat is amazing. You can choose to juice or eat at each meal - the food looks so good that you might feel like you're missing out if you choose to juice, but the juices are delicious and filling as well plus you can add extras such as avocado and psyllium. The accommodation is basic but comfortable and has everything you need. The sunsets are beautiful and the beach nearby at Alfaz del Pi is stunning.

Very peaceful setting and easy access to the town and beach. All the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much effort. Eating together with other guests was a lovely experience and enabled us to share our stories. The food was exceptional - we always looked forward to the delights which were being prepared for us. The mixed variety of yoga was great and all the instructors were lovely especially Ana and Emma. Both myself and my daughter felt rebalanced after our stay and have provided us with new and renewed vigour to maintain a healthy balance in our life.

Alles goed geregeld en een tof dagprogramma elke dag weer. Eten was zalig. Plaatsje Albir is gezellig en heeft een prachtig strand en idem omgeving. Fijne is dat iedereen komt en gaat zoals men wil. Zo deel je ook zelf je dag en in doet mee met de lessen welke je wilt en verder kan je je eigen gang gaan. Heerlijk. De dynamiek is daardoor erg prettig en de groep verandert ook steeds.

Everything at La Crisalida is designed in a way that makes you feel welcomed, nurtured, and at peace. I have never before eaten vegan meals and was so surprised at how delicious and creative the dishes were. The staff are so knowledgable and genuinely care about your well-being. The surrounding area is also gorgeous. Parque Natural de la Serra Gelada is located 10 mins from the retreat, making daily walks to the lighthouse to the watch the sunrise a perfect starting to the day!

"All that I needed and more."
I booked a private room. My accommodation was clean and more than I needed. The bed was comfy. There was a full kitchen but the stove isn't needed when all the meals are prepared for you? I love that there was a kettle and selection of teas available. (Also available in main dining area with fresh lemon and ginger each day.) The food and the juices were amazing!! The menu changes daily and is prepared fresh, healthy and flavourful! The yoga classes are great, most suited for beginners. The rebound class was so much fun. YY was wonderful with her workshops, the Vision Board was inspiring.
You must book a massage, any massage, with Cristina. She is amazing and her massages are heavenly.
All the staff are friendly and helpful. I enjoyed speaking with Lisa the owner, and Balbir.
The best thing about this retreat aside from the tasty food, is the flexibility to arrive when you want, and participate in as much or little as you want, with no pressure.
I loved the walk to the lighthouse with the stunning views of the playa and the incredibly blue sea. The beach is easy to walk to on your own and there is a lovely local market on Sundays less than 5 mins from the retreat. By the way, the shuttle service was very efficient.
What else can I say? I left feeling refreshed, refocused, and reminded I need to do this more often. I hope to return to La Crisalida one day soon.
