REST & REJUVENATE yoga RETREAT in spain

We all love the vibrancy of Summer but at some point our energy begins to flag and we just need a break to rest & recharge.

Welcome to our Rest & Rejuvenate Yoga Retreat, an invitation for you to step away from the rat race, to throw away your To Do list, turn off your notifications and release your commitments.

It’s a time for you to access deep states of rest, to walk on the beach, to swim in crystal clear waters, to practice yoga, breathwork & meditation, to enjoy nourishing foods and to look up at the blanket of glittering stars and remember who you really are.

Here there are no ‘To Dos’ only ‘To Wants’

Our rest & rejuvenate yoga retreat is for you if:

* You’re looking for some ‘me-time’ but happy to meet like minded people

* You like the idea of beginning each day with yoga

* You’re travelling solo & want your own room & bathroom

* You enjoy unique, locally owned hotels when you travel

* You like the luxury of having a retreat host on hand to organise everything so you don’t have to lift a finger!

"What a fantastic yoga break. Every detail was well thought out and exceptional quality. The hotel couldn’t have been any more relaxing. Nicole is a wonderful yoga teacher and managed both the experienced pupils and the novices perfectly. A truly inspiring experience." Richard & Kate

I'm ready book me in!

Altea : A place to call home

Altea sits on one of Europe’s sunniest & most gorgeous coastlines – the Alicante coast of Spain.

Altea is a charming town surrounded by mountains that tumble to the sea and a lush green landscape thanks to the underground springs giving life to abundant orchards of olive, orange, fig, pomegranate, almond & avocado which we use in our retreat meals.

A visit to the beautiful ‘old town’ is a must. Just a 10 minute stroll from our hotel you’ll find little white washed houses, artisan studios, boutiques & cafes all waiting to be explored. And, if you fancy a dip in the sea, that’s just a 20 minute walk where maybe you’ll spot the pod of dolphins that call this place home.

Above all, we are perfectly located for relaxation, exploring & trips to the beach.

The Accommodation : Your Home by the Sea

Based at a peaceful 300 year old olive farm tucked away down a quiet lane close to the ocean in the coastal town of Altea, just 45 mins north of Alicante airport from where we offer a transfer service .

The farm is owned & run by a wonderful local Spanish family who have restored it into a welcoming country house hotel with 22 spacious rooms each with private ensuite bathroom. Just steps away from you room is the Mediterranean garden with a chlorine-free pool, private gym, sauna and a light & airy yoga studio with awesome views to the mountains.

All bedrooms are generous in size & well equipped with everything you need for your home away from home.

Thinking of coming on your own? Please do!

As we never ask – nor expect – solo guests to share, you’ll have your own spacious room with private bathroom. Of course, if you come with a friend or family member you can share a room with them.

Choose a Classic room on the first floor or upgrade to one of the 7 larger Superior rooms each with its own terrace or balcony from where you can enjoy the morning sunrise & starry nights.

"Everything about my holiday was great! The yoga instruction was excellent, the hotel was lovely and the optional activities really added to my experience. In summary, a great location, excellent yoga, a friendly and welcoming atmosphere -what more could you ask for?!" Regina

your Rest & rejuvenate Retreat Experience

Mornings begin quietly with fresh fruit & herbal teas whilst you slowly awaken before heading to the onsite yoga studio for a 90 minute yoga, breathwork & meditation session to open your body & senses to the day.

Whether you’re at the beginning of your yoga journey or are a seasoned practitioner, we teach in a style that allows you to get what you need from your practice. With variations given along the way you’ll feel at ease with your practice but also – maybe – lightly challenged at times.

After class we dine together alfresco for an abundant buffet breakfast where you’ll find a choice of cereals, seasonal fruits, local cheeses, cold cuts, hot eggs, Spanish tortilla, local delicacies, yogurts, freshly squeezed orange juice, assorted breads, croissants and some sweet treats too.

After breakfast you can lounge by the pool in the sun, loose yourself in your book or join an optional activity. How about a Paddleboard session, a spot of sea kayaking, a trip to the beach, a browse in the boutiques or perhaps the sunset boat cruise?

We take supper together at the hotel on our arrival day & final evening leaving your taste buds free to explore the fantastic local restaurants on 3 eves. This means you can eat where, when & how much you like rather than us control your evening with a pre-set menu at a fixed time. We tend to find many of our guests head out together so there’s always others to join or you can have dinner on your own if you prefer.

Optional Activities

Spend your days …

• lazing by the pool, relaxing at the beach, taking guilt free snoozes, loosing yourself in a book
• exploring the pretty town of Altea nearby with its little boutiques & alfresco cafes
• enjoying treatments with our onsite wellness team

• having sea fun with kayaking, paddle boarding or a sunset cruise
• joining the locals celebrating the arrival of summer in the San Juan festival

The choice is Yours – Just go with your Flow!

The Yoga

You’ll be taught by two experienced yoga teachers in the morning yoga sessions. There’ll be alignment based Hatha yoga, meditative slow-flow vinyasa and super relaxing Yin Yoga.

Morning sessions are moderately active to lift your energy at the start of the day and will often include breath work & meditation.

Sessions are suitable for keen beginners – ie. those with a little experience – right up to the super flexible yogi. Our teaching style is precise but friendly and, as safety is important, you’ll hear plenty of alignment cues to help make the postures comfortable for you.

There’s no pressure to create the ‘perfect’ yoga posture. We’ve all come to yoga with different bodies and abilities and so it’s important we all pay attention to how the yoga feels in your body rather than how it looks or what others are doing around you.

Let's talk food

Breakfasts are a ‘help yourself’ bountiful buffet with wholesome cereals, fresh seasonal fruits, local cheeses & cold cuts, homemade tortilla, fresh orange juice, yogurts inc dairy free, assorted breaks, pasties, croissants, tea & coffee.

Suppers are 3-course plant based on 2 eves at the hotel. Three eves are free for your taste buds to explore local dining or to dine at the hotel.

Airport Transfers

Our private airport transfer service operates from/to Alicante airport. We aim to leave the airport on 20th June between 12.00-13.00 and arrive back at airport on 25th 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 sufficient 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 & stops at a point that is a 10 minute taxi to us.

What to Pack

We’ll send you a suggested packing list before you join us but you might like to know all yoga equipment is provided and the hotel offers a very reasonably priced laundry service so you can pack light & refresh your clothes during your stay.
