Planet

Putting People & the Planet first.

We actively seek out retreat venues that have a strong commitment to sustainability and who make use of the delicious local produce that grows abundantly in this region. We ourselves are a small, local business based in Spain and pride ourselves on selecting the best local teachers, guides & therapists - not just because they're local - but because they bring local colour & knowledge that's not found in guidebooks.

Whilst everyone on our team help bring our retreats alive, the truth is, without them being able to work locally they would most likely have to move away from the area to find work elsewhere - away from their family & social circles.

Recycling.

As a business & the venues we work with, all actively recycle cardboard , paper, plastic, cans & glass using specific recycling containers.

In addition, guest bathrooms have large dispensers of organic toiletries rather than small plastic bottles which not only need frequently replacing but also add to the amount of plastics that need recycling. You’ll also have the option to re-use the towels & linen in your room too to help save water, electricity, soap & labour.

Green Energy.

In addition to the use of low consumption light bulbs, the vast majority of our hotel’s electricity comes from the sun - solar panels. Plus, we have water saving devices fitted to the taps & toilets to help reduce flow & conserve water.

You'll be encouraged to be more mindful of your water & energy usage during your stay. Little things make a big, big difference such as closing windows if using the air con, taking a shower instead of a bath, switching off lights when not in your room, opting to re-use your towels & linen and taking only what is needed at meal times to avoid food waste - you can always come back for more if you're hungry!,

Retreat Dining.

We are blessed to have over 300 days of sunshine a year in this region of Spain & an abundance of underground water from the mountains. This means we have a year round supply of sun ripened, delicious fruits & veggies that we make good use of in our retreat menus that are predominantly plant based.

Our retreat venues have partnered with local farmers & producers to supply the vast majority of produce. Everything from fruits & veggies to eggs, cheese, olive oil, wines & bathroom toiletries.

People

Community:

Our retreats take place at a hotels owned & run by local families. Their pride is omnipresent in the way in which they keep their properties spotlessly clean and how they greet guests like friends.

Making a difference all starts at home & so we have implemented energy conservation measures and recycling policies that helps minimise waste & our impact on the environment. We also support local charities and hope to help more widescale projects by donating every month to the World Wildlife Fund.

Further, we only employ locals as guides, drivers, cooks, therapists & teachers not just because they're local, but because they are the soul of the area and bring historical colour and wealth of information that a guidebook doesn't include.
