About The Retreat
2025 Dates
May 18-22 / June 8-12 / September 21-25
Join us for a 5 night Yoga and Pilates retreat by the sea in Spain and immerse yourself in gorgeous sunshine, big open blue skies, fresh sea air, beach time and feast on delicious healthy food.
Plus, super experienced yoga and pilates teachers will help you open, lengthen, quieten and strengthen your body with two classes a day with time in between to explore this stunningly beautiful area with the optional biking, hiking, horse trekking or simply relax by the pool with a great book and soak up the sun’s rays.
Relax at our luxurious, adults-only beachside hotel where you’ll immerse yourself in daily Yoga and Pilates sessions, insightful, wellness talks and savour healthy cuisine. Experience the blissful spa, enjoy the private beach club and head to the state-of-the-art fitness studio whenever you want to feel energised & invigorated.
Whether you’re a keen Yoga / Pilates beginner or more experienced, our retreats are tailored to meet you where you are. With classes designed for all levels, you may feel a little challenged – but never pushed beyond your limits.
It’s time to hit reset and embrace a transformative escape you won’t want to miss! And don’t worry, these retreats are super relaxed. So if there is a morning where you want to sleep in, please do. If there’s an afternoon you would stay longer by the pool and skip class, that’s ok! Whatever you feel you need, please do.
Start your day gently as the sun rises—enjoy a quiet coffee in bed or a peaceful sunrise stroll along the beach before easing into the day with your morning Yoga or Pilates session. With classes tailored to your ability and bonus workshops to deepen your practice, you’ll feel confident and inspired every step of the way.
After class, savor a bountiful buffet brunch before enjoying the day your way. Perhaps join our guided walking tour, unwind in the Spa, lounge at the beach club, explore the fitness studio, indulge in treatments, browse local boutiques or take a dip in the sea. You can even sneak in a guilt-free snooze!
There’ll also be enriching workshops, including a talk by Katy Pitt, menopause specialist and Director of the Women’s Health Clinic. And, if you fancy, join us for a visit to a local wine estate to explore the art of winemaking and sample some of Alicante’s finest vintages.
As the afternoon unwinds, we’ll gather for another Yoga or Pilates session followed by a delicious dinner with dishes from the land and sea. Wrap up your evening with reflection, journaling, or a moonlit walk along the beach before heading to bed.
The Yoga & Pilates Sessions
Yoga and Pilates, when practiced together, create a strong toned lean body, improve postural alignment & flexibility, reduce back pain, increase mobility, ease anxiety, improve balance, breath control and mindfulness.
With separate classes for beginners and intermediate/advanced, you’ll feel stretched without being pushed beyond your limits.
Each day includes a class of Yoga and a class of Pilates led by super experienced teaching team dedicated to their chosen field of Yoga or Pilates to ensure you receive the ‘pure’ form and not a ‘yogalates’ blend.
Pilates sessions are mat based and include Pilates equipment to help build a strong toned body. Yoga sessions are a mix of strength building Hatha yoga, warming slow flow Vinyasa & relaxing Yin yoga, perfect to allow the body to sink deeper and release deeply held tension.
Accommodation
These 4-night/5 day carefully curated wellbeing retreats take place in the urban coastal town of Calpe, 45 minutes north of Alicante airport from where we offer a transfer service.
Calpe sits on one of Europe’s sunniest & most gorgeous coastlines – the Alicante coast of Spain. Calpe is a town with a rich cultural heritage, the famous Rock d’Ifach mountain- cashmere-soft, long sandy beaches & refreshing turquoise blue seas.
A visit to the ‘old town’ is a must. Just a 15 minute stroll from our luxury sea front hotel & you’ll be in quiet narrow streets amongst alfresco cafes & boutiques all waiting to be explored.
With a warm Mediterranean climate and over 300 days of sunshine a year, Calpe is the ideal destination to enjoy a wellbeing holiday by the sea. Perfectly located for relaxing, exploring and beach time.
Traveling solo? No problem! All our solo guests enjoy their own stylish room with en-suite bathroom as we never ask – nor expect – our guests to share. Of course if you want to bring and share with a friend that’s fine too! Choose a room with courtyard views, a room with a terrace and town views or a luxurious sea-view room.

How to get here
Our private airport transfer service operates from/to Alicante airport. We aim to leave the airport on arrival day between 12.00-13.00 and arrive back at airport on final day for midday. Journey to us takes 45 minutes & is €38 each way.
Ideally, book a flight that arrives no later than 11.30am to allow time to collect your luggage & meet our driver. On the final day your flight should depart after than 13.30.
Can’t find a flight to join our transfers? A taxi can be organised for any guests that miss our private transfer (aprox €95 between guests). Or, we can reserve a seat on a local airport shuttle bus (€30) that runs throughout the day and stops at a point that is a 10 minute taxi to us.
Or, some guests arrive a day before, spend the night in Alicante & return to the airport the following day to meet our transfer.
