Escape to one of the best wellness retreats in Spain for a life-changing experience.

Here are the best wellness retreats in Spain

 

1. Shanti-Som Retreat – Malaga 

Set in the oil painting scenery of the Andalucian countryside, Shanti-Som encourages guests to unplug from modern-day life. The eclectic menu of treatments and activities support rejuvenation, such as yoga, hikes, bike rides, and spa treatments, all set amidst a lush, tranquil landscape. There are several wellness programs available here that support different wellness objectives, such as Relaxation, Yoga, Pilates, Detox, Healing, and Weight Loss. All programs include daily meals, daily yoga, and daily meditation. Guests can also pay an additional fee for spa treatments, coaching sessions, 1-to-1 yoga sessions, holistic treatments, and more. For a total overhaul that strips it back to basics, we recommend the Detox program. The retreat lets you detox on a juice and bone broth diet in a safe and controlled environment, with guidance, support, and health checks.

2. MasQi – Valencia

Located in the beautiful Sierra de Mariola Natural Park, this 19th-century farmhouse is the setting of total restoration. MasQi aims to balance the mind, body, and spirit, with a range of therapies, treatments, workshops, and classes. Take yoga classes in the dome, relax into Ayurvedic treatments, and tuck into delicious, healthy food in the organic restaurant. Various treatment plans cater to wellness goals, including Anti-stress, Yoga, Detox, and Transform. Whether your objective is to kickstart healthy living, learn more about yoga, or simply enjoy a relaxing getaway like no other amidst the restorative Valencian countryside, you can do it all at MasQi.

3. SHA Wellness Clinic – Alicante 

SHA offers unique wellness plans, such as Leader’s Performance, Well-ageing & Prevention, Sexual Wellbeing, Cognitive Boost, and more. Their distinctive scientific approach is just as focused on brain health as physical and spiritual health, and they are pioneers in integrating results-driven scientific techniques into the wellness space. SHA works with some of the world’s best medical minds but don’t dismiss natural remedies. And while this all might sound quite medicinal and clinical, the retreat is total luxury, set amongst the Sierra Helada Natural Park and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Spend downtime relaxing in the zen areas, reading by the pool, or taking health-focused cooking classes.

4. ReVITALISE with Ibiza Retreats – Ibiza 

Ibiza is the heart of Spain’s wellness culture, and Ibiza Retreats offer some of the best soul-enriching getaways in the country. Larah Davis has been running Ibiza Retreats since 2007, hosting holistic wellness retreats across various Ibizan fincas and secret sanctuaries. ReVITALISE is their most loved program, where retreaters can practice daily yoga, breathwork, meditation, coaching, holistic massages, workshops, sound healing, and so much more. The setting is a luxurious restored farmhouse, the Hekamiah Regenerative Retreat Home. It’s positioned amidst dense forest trees, inviting you to take barefoot walks through surrounding shady pathways or relax by the bio-pool. Nutritious, delicious vegan meals are included in the retreat package, too. 

5. Azulfit – Fuerteventura

Enjoy year-round restoration at Azultfit, held on the peaceful Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands. Their Ultimate Pilates & Yoga retreat has all the ingredients for the perfect pause from reality. It’s held in the purpose-built Surya Retreat Home, with panoramic Mediterranean Sea views and volcanic scenery. Food is included in the retreat package, and it’s a big part of the daily routine, with nutritious, delicious, and vegetarian dishes prepared with love. The sociable communal dining room and buffet service are designed to encourage guests to interact with one another, but private rooms ensure you get the quiet time you might crave. The program can be as jam-packed or as relaxed as you’d like to be, too. There are daily yoga and pilates classes, as well as therapies and workshops, so you can spend your getaway however you’d like. 

6. Rützu – Mallorca

Set in a beautiful rustic villa, sprawling across the fairytale Mallorcan countryside, with an infinity pool looking out to the Mediterranean Sea. It already sounds peaceful beyond belief, but the retreats on offer make this feel like heaven on earth. There are three categories – Wellness, Personal Development, and Sport-Escape. Each retreat promises to take you out of your daily life and into a place with no distractions, where you can focus on your objective. The Rützu Wellness retreats are designed so you can disconnect for the duration – they’ve taken care of everything, the sound of the waves is never far away, and days are filled with yoga, meditation, therapies, classes, and treatments. 

7. La Cura – Girona 

La Cura translates to the cure, and that’s what this beautiful farmhouse is. At the cradle of wellness and sustainability, La Cura is a true haven. They work with local farmers, grow much of their own produce, and only serve plant-based dishes. Not only is the food good for you, but it’s also good for the local environment and community. La Cura hosts their own retreats, and they also welcome external retreats to host here – with a space this beautiful, why not share it? The Reset Retreat is their own seasonal creation, where guests can take daily yoga classes, private pilates classes, sound baths, art therapy, meditation, and more. They also host nutrition workshops, to help nurture a healthy relationship with food while showing you how to safely and effectively detox.
