Our November Retreat
What a week we just had. The guests loved their fitness holiday at The Fit Retreat and they didn’t want to go home !
From the moment they stepped into our boutique beautiful villa, they were ready to embark on a fitness and wellbeing holiday.
Our guests went from leaving their busy, stressful lives back home and arrived in a place of tranquility and beauty, they immediately felt stress free.
What our guests got up to? What to expect !
The first day of your fitness holiday is just about arriving, being greeted with Fresh juice and healthy homemade chocolates and getting to know a bit about The Fit Retreat and the week ahead. Then taking the rest of the day to relax, unwind and settle in. Paradise !
We start the days by arriving at the villa with a fresh and healthy Pre-workout snack, Chia puddings, overnight oats, energy bars, smoothies. Lots of healthy treats made with TLC. These heavenly snacks will most definitely give you the energy needed to give 100% during the morning workouts. Every morning workout is in a different location across the coasts of Fuerteventura and we like to have at least one session by the pool at the villa, the views while training are spectacular. When we arrive at our chosen destination we get ready to have a fun, motivating and personal workout. Starting with a warm up and movement stretching to prepare our bodys for the main workout. We then have an energetic and active HIIT/Circuit style workout session. This gives all of our guests the chance to do as much as they can in the time frame given for each exercise. We can make adaptions where needed and because there will only be upto 6 guests in a group, it is definitely more of a personal training session. This is what makes us different from other Retreats/bootcamps. We then take our time to cool down and go through some well needed stretching exercises, before we head back to the villa for brunch. All of this takes place in stunning locations that we have personally chosen for our guests to make the most of their fitness holiday experience.
Heading back to the villa is always a great feeling, we all know that there is an amazing brunch waiting for us. Our previous guests say that "our brunches are one of the highlights of their trip". We offer lots of variety, catering for all foodies and guests with allergies. Our spreads are made fresh using natural ingredients. Different types of eggs everyday, fruits, salads, meats, salmon, cheeses, yogurts, cereals, juices, natural flavoured waters and more.. We will also be there to have chats about dietary advice, recipes, fitness tips and any questions you may have. This is a great time to enjoy the food, be social and gain some knowledgeable information.
After you have finished your brunch, there will be time to relax and enjoy the pool/jacuzzi, read some books, basically have some YOU time before the afternoon activity.
The afternoons are filled with adventurous activities, ranging from Volcanic hikes, Island hopping on a speed boat, ravine walks, paddle boarding and more.. We make every activity a trip to remember and whats even better is that we are all burning off lots of calories while having the most incredible time. The Fit Retreat makes sure our guests see the real Fuerteventura and not just the village they are staying in. Fuerteventura is such a wonderful and picturesque Island and it has so much outdoor beauty and adventure to offer. This is one of the reasons why we chose Fuerteventura as the destination for The Fit Retreat and the year round weather of course, which makes it perfect for your fitness holiday.
In the middle of your stay we like to give our guests time for themselves. You will enjoy a full day and a half off, so you can go out, explore, laze by the pool/jacuzzi or go to one of Fuerteventura’s breathtaking beaches, or alternatively We can collect you, drop you into the main resort, Corralejo, where you will have all day to mooch around the buzzy town and its glourious beaches. We also have a great sized BBQ area at the villa, which the guests have all made the most of in the evenings, so if you wanted to have an evening with great food in peaceful surroundings under the stars in a warm climate, it’s the perfect place be.
Only a 10 minute walk from the villa there are plenty of authentic, inexpensive restaurants to choose from, along with quirkey cafes, bars and a well equipped supermarket, you really won’t miss out on a traditional Spanish experience in Lajares Village. Lajares isn’t just known for its Spanish traditionalisms but for its surf and artistic vibe, the village has such a great energy and is unique compared to other resorts/villages in Fuerteventura. Our guests really did fall in love with Lajares and their stay at The Fit Retreat.
