Description

Our Go with Your Flow summer yoga holiday in Spain is ideal for you if you like the freedom of spending your summer holidays how you wish but with a daily dose of yoga to stretch and balance both mind and body plus, if you fancy, some optional ‘summer fun’ activities too.

Whilst we all love the energy and vibrancy of summer, at some point, we need to turn inward and rest from those high vibes that rev us up. So join us on this relaxing mid-summer ‘Go with Your Flow’ to slow down, rest and recharge.

Retreat schedule

Each day begins with seasonal fruits & herbal teas sipped in the garden before a 90 minute ‘Sun Up’ Yoga & meditation practice to open our bodies & senses to the day.

The yoga is suitable for keen beginners to advanced yogi’s and includes breathing techniques – the best way to reinvigorate the body first thing – guided meditations to calm the mind and relax the body and a wide variety of yoga postures and sequences to open, lengthen and strengthen every part of your body.

After yoga its time for a hearty brunch where you’ll find a wide choice on buffet. Feast on wholegrain cereals, fresh seasonal fruits, local cheeses and Spanish cold cuts, freshly made Tortilla, yogurts (inc dairy free), fresh juice, assorted breads and pastries, teas & coffee.

Special diets can be catered for with advance notice and the hotel owner – Vincenta – brings fresh eggs from her hens and cooks a delicious breakfast cake for us too! It’s a great spread that sets you up for the remainder of the day. We generally all breakfast together on one table and chat about plans for the remainder of the day.

After breakfast you might decide to:

* Head to the pool for a snooze, swim or to loose yourself in a book
* Explore the lovely town of Altea – considered to be one of the prettiest towns in this area and with some super little boutiques
* Enjoy some pampering with our therapists – massages, facials, body exfoliation & more
join Chef in the kitchen for a Spanish cookery masterclass
* Head out with our guides for a mountain bike ride and try your hand at aerial yoga
sea kayaking or stand up paddle (SUP)

Cuisine

For lunch and evenings you’re free to dine where and when you fancy. The hotel has a great restaurant but you’ll also find a wide choice of restaurants in nearby Altea too. We tend to find our guests get together most nights & head into town to dine at one of the restaurants clustered in the church plaza.

Accommodation

You’ll stay at this 300 year old Olive farm in the coastal town of Altea, an hour north of Alicante (airport transfers available – see below). The farm has been owned by the same Spanish family for generations before they decided to reform it in the late 1990’s to a 4* country house hotel.

The hotel has a brilliant location, sitting at the very point where the countryside meets the edge of town and so we’re surrounded by country views but yet, we’re an easy 10 minute walk to the nearby white washed town of Altea – considered to be one of the prettiest in the area – and an easy 25mins walk to the beach.

The hotel has a pool, 20 spacious double ensuite rooms, small gym & sauna, a spacious yoga studio with lovely mountain views and a restaurant that creates delicious vegetarian & fish dishes for us whilst Vincenta – the hotel owner – brings fresh eggs from her happy hens and bakes a delicious breakfast cake for us every day – heaven!
