During this retreat, you will be staying in a family-run, hosted villa with a sun terrace and pool, set just a short walk from Moraira and the beach. The villa offers separate guest accommodations with a sitting room, dining area, and guest kitchen for making drinks and snacks.

Depending on the rooms booked, there are choices of single room, twin room with private use showers, or a double room with en-suite. If you book a shared room, you will also share a bath or shower room. You may only book a shared room if you have a friend or partner who will come to the retreat with you.

Please note that currently, there is an intermittent building work adjacent to the retreat. You may hear some noise from the construction.

Our yoga fitness holiday is designed with you in mind to also include plenty or relaxation time too for the beach. All yoga and classes are optional. Most days you can wake when you wish and enjoy meal when hungry. All guests enjoy the evening meal together with a cheeky glass of wine if you wish. We welcome solo travelers and absolute beginners. If you wish time for reflection by myself then you can also enjoy time away quietly. This is a body loving yoga fit holiday to help build core strength with Pilates, body toning yoga and cardio both in the gym session and the guided walks available on the programme. When you are ready for some down time then try one of our nearby sandy beaches or, if you prefer pamper yourself at the beauty parlour for an optional treatment or explore the small boutiques for some retail therapy with a coffee stop at one of the many terraced street cafes.

The daily meals may consist of salmon, chicken, beef mince, pasta, or rice, along with fresh vegetables and salads, or a vegetarian option. There is only one daily meal option but the hosts will always consult with everyone upon arrival about their favorite foods and cook accordingly, to suit everyone in the small group.

Groups may vary and you may be the only guest. The host will keep any single guest company, should they wish, or respect their privacy for those who wish time alone. Dinner usually consists of two courses, including a dessert. Yoga Retreats Spain will try to accommodate your dietary needs, likes, and dislikes.

After all other meals, the crockery will be taken away by the villa hosts for cleaning. This enables the hosts and you to coordinate as a team, in order to move quickly together to the next activity, either by walking or by car. The hosts are very much about family, teamwork, and sharing. Please note that you cannot expect for a hotel experience during your stay in the villa.

Optional activities in the summer months, from June to September, are kayaking and stand up paddle boarding for hire from one of the local beaches, which is proving to be very popular. You may also try beach walking or walk to the Cap D'Or, an eight-kilometer walk to and from the villa with spectacular views.

Mini treatments are available locally in Moraira by appointment. For those who wish to have a treatment, to avoid disappointment, it is strongly suggested that you will book at the beginning of the holiday as the studio gets very busy.
