Your winter Escape

The most amazing week! This place exceeded all expectations. The accommodation (yurt) was incredible. The place was in a lovely remote village with stunning views. There was a calmness to the place which allowed that time to rest and switch off. The classes were a combination of yoga and Pilates which has now created my new found love for Pilates which I’ve continued at home. The teachers are great. There’s a schedule for the week so nothing for you to worry about and this allows free time for exploration. There is a pool, however it’s freezing so some heating would add that extra touch. The hot tub is amazing. The place generally could do with a bit of TCL but it seems to work. The food is delicious. All vegetarian/vegan and very nutritious. We hired a car which allowed us freedom to explore the island when we had free time. We do recommend this. The retreat offer a transfer option to and from the airport if required. You can add extra sessions such as a sound bath, additional massages etc for an extra cost. A free massage was included in the booking which was a treat! There are also interesting workshops like essential oil. In terms of the island we would recommend the sand dunes and also the hike up mount rioja which had exceptional views. The staff were wonderful and friendly. There is a cute Saturday morning market is Lajares which was really nice! Restaurant Oum was also nice for our evening off. Please do check cleaning as our bedding wasn’t changed mid-week when it was supposed to be replaced. There is a cute shop there where you can buy bits and pieces from local sellers. If you want food outside of breakfast, lunch and dinner times there is a supermarket around 20-30 min walk away but there are little bits to purchase on site like fruit and snacks. Drinkable water is provided on site. The room had a hairdryer but no toiletries. Again, this would be another great touch to add some products to the rooms. Most people came solo and we met wonderful guests who we have kept in touch with. Overall, a wonderful stay and we would love to return again in the future.

You live and work the dream This retreat was highly recommended to me, so my expectations were high.

The staff, including the taxi driver at the airport, Vicky on arrival, cooks, cleaners, maintainance and the instructors were all friendly and welcoming.

I am not (or should I say wasn’t) a fan of pilates, but the quality of instruction has changed my mind and I have already done my homework and arranged to work with a pilates instructor back in the UK.

I loved the yoga. It is a shame you cannot take in the view whilst practicing. This only means one thing, an excuse to return in hope it is warm enough to practice outside near the wonderful pool.

The food was ok. I am super active and found that I needed a little bit more. The quantity provided (buffet) didn’t reflect the number of guests. But, by the end of the week I enjoyed the simplicity of what was offered.

The inclusive massage was amazing!

Staff really know the area, and are happy to offer advice and ideas. Where to walk, run, hire a bike, surf, eat, catch the bus ..you will not have any problems finding something to do on your day off.

The group was wonderful. 18 like minded souls from so many different parts of the world.

All that is left to say is THANK YOU ❤️ with all my heart from a cold, snowy Yorkshire (UK) xxx

Sun, sea, stretching I celebrated new year at Azulfit. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The yoga teachers and Pilates teaching were very experienced and gave lots of modifications according to ability. The food was very healthy and the catering team cater for individual dietary needs. The inclusive massage was relaxing. It is located in a rural area away from hustle and bustle – so lovely place to recharge. We had a mix of German, Dutch, Austrian, Swedish and British participants and got on very well. I felt refreshed by the sun, sea and stretching. It has given me motivation to do more Pilates in 2026.
My only suggestion would be to get a hire car to explore the beaches as the buses can be infrequent.

Excellent Retreat I can wholeheartedly recommend this lovely resort! Everything in Azulfit is excellent! The place is a paradise: peaceful, wonderful, clean and hygienic. Professional yoga and Pilates teachers give fantastic classes. The staff is very friendly and caring. You will find everything here to completely unwind and fully recharge.

A real feel of relax After a turbulent year this retreat was the best way to start a fresh. The booking was slightly confusing and a mix up on dates resulted in extra costs for my flights; this fortunately was the only issue. Once arrived at the airport the transfer was already waiting and a short ride talking with other guests helped me to start to relax. The room, inner Peace, was very comfortable. No toiletries provided other than the hand soap but a very welcome hairdryer ( as I hadn’t brought my own). The meditation, yoga and pilates were instructed to a very high standard. The sound bath was an overwhelming, but very necessary, experience (Tania was extremely supportive to manage the emotional experience I had). I felt safe to let my emotions and body experience all the benefits of this retreat. The free massage was excellent and I welcomed the opportunity to book another massage before the end of the week. The food was filling and nourishing. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and provided a wonderful nights sleep (I’ve even sourced the same mattress for my own bed). The teachers, cleaners and support staff at the retreat help to create a calming atmosphere. There is free time for you to do as much or as little as you like: reading by the pool or relaxing in the hot tub were favourites. A hike up a local volcano provided amazing views. A short bike ride to the beach was easy and safe given the cycle lane on the island. There are great local restaurants, supermarket and bakery within walking distance of the retreat which are lovely to visit with your new friends,

SIMPLY PERFECT The best experience you can expect from a yoga and pilates retreat. The organisation of the activities is perfect, the facilities are well looked after and the rooms are comfortable and spotlessly clean. The best thing, without a doubt, is the food, it is 100% homemade and spectacular, with a very carefully selected menu and an extremely attentive staff that takes care of you day by day. As for the yoga and pilates classes, they adapt to all levels, the teachers are very professional and attentive and willing to help each student improve, with personalised attention if you need it. Everyone who works there is committed to making the week a pleasant experience for all participants.
I am very grateful to have been able to live this one week experience, I am looking forward to coming back.
