With just a week to go until we open our doors to our first The Fit Retreat guests, we are super excited about making our dream of launching a Fuerteventura fitness holiday a reality! As we get to work preparing the last minute touches to our retreat home, we wanted to share with you what our lucky first arrivals can expect from a typical day in their healthy holiday week.
Waking up in the sunshine is the perfect way to kickstart the day.
When the sun rises over the ocean, it is time to jump out of bed and get active! There are so many amazing things planned for your Fuerteventura fitness holiday week that we don't want to miss a minute!
Time to head to our retreat kitchen for a morning cup of tea and pre-workout snack to fuel the morning exercise session. We provide healthy treats before heading to the beach for our HIIT workout, making sure your body has the fuel it needs to be able to give 100% and keep you going until brunch.
We will have the all essentials out for you to pick at ... nuts, bananas, wholegrain bread... plus an energy boost in the form of chai pudding, homemade energy bars, rice cakes or something equally tasty! Now you're all set for a workout!
Time to HIIT the beach!
Some people might be put off by the term HIIT or circuits. Don't be! We are here to help you through different exercises/workouts and not to push you over the edge. Plus working out at the beach is the best way to start the day we know!
After heading to the beautiful sand dunes of Corralejo or stunning El Cotillo, we get to work with our daily HIIT session! At The Fit Retreat, we are here to guide our guests and make sure that you are having fun whilst having a workout. All of our training is timed because it is not a competition of the fittest.
You can give it your all and do what you can in the time given, whilst being motivated and becoming more confident. Adaptions can always be made, we are here for our guests and want you to feel happy at all times.
More food please!
Food is a VERY IMPORTANT part of your Fuerteventura fitness holiday! And after returning to the villa following the beach workout it's definitely time for brunch! The Fit Retreat will provide our guests a healthy, nutritious, continential brunch during your stay. There will be plenty of choice including, fresh fruit, healthy fresh breads, selection of cheeses, cold meats, eggs, cereals, greek yogurt and fresh juice. Yum! Now time to enjoy the amazing landscape of Fuerteventura!
Heading to the hills ...
Four afternoons of your fitness holiday will be spent outside in the beautiful Canary Island sunshine enjoying some of Fuerteventura's best hikes and getting fit at the same time! With a boat trip to lovely Lobos Island, a chance to feed the chipmunks in Lajares, the spectacular views of the whole island from the top of Escanfraga and a trip to Betancuria a traditional Spanish village where we will roam the streets and then walk through the Vega valleys. You'll enjoy four different experiences of the best of our incredible volcanic landscape ... it really is nature's playground!
... And relax!
You're on holiday after all! The Fit Retreat's beautiful private detached villa is south facing, which means we have sunshine all day. And after working hard on your fitness, it's time for you to enjoy our beautiful pool and jacuzzi, or just chill out with a book in our cool, shaded areas for you to take a break from the heat.
Tapas time :)
Two evenings of your fitness holiday the group will head out to our favourite local restaurants where you enjoy traditional Canarian tapas, local fresh fish and lots of other delicious Spanish dishes.
The other nights you're free to explore our local surf town of Lajares where you'll find cool cafes, health food jaunts and local restaurants, or kick back at the villa and make use of our retreat kitchen or barbecue area! You might want an early night ... ready to do it all again tomorrow!
