A Day at Our Retreat on Fuerteventura

We’re based right in the heart of Corralejo, a town where everything is within easy reach: the ocean, the sun, and plenty of cozy little cafés, bars, and restaurants with views over the water. It’s from here, right from our apartments, that all of our daily adventures begin.

We always start the day with yoga on the beach. The girls say there’s nothing better, and it’s exactly what they miss most once the trip is over: before you’ve even fully woken up, you step out of the apartment, take a few steps onto the beach, and there you are, right by the ocean, on your mat. At that hour the beach is still quiet and peaceful, the air smells of salt, and you practice with a view of the waves slowly waking up alongside you.

After yoga, everyone finds their own rhythm. Those who feel like a quiet, low-key breakfast head back to the apartment and eat on the terrace, coffee in hand, looking out over the sleepy morning town. Those who’d rather eat in company walk a few minutes into central Corralejo, where the choice is genuinely wide – from local bakeries to cafés serving fresh juices and fruit (don’t worry: we’ve got our tried-and-tested list of favorite spots waiting for you, all personally taste-tested).

On a free day, after breakfast you head to the beach: swimming, sunbathing, a good book, total unplanned, clock-free relaxation. And if you’re up for more, a walk along the ocean, a stroll through the local shops, or the craft market are all just around the corner. It’s also a great time for a pottery class, horseback riding along the dunes, or a first surfing lesson for anyone interested: instructors are waiting right on the beach.

And if it’s one of our excursion days, off we go! A long walk along the famous Grandes Playas with their white sand and turquoise water, a trip up the volcano with views over the whole island, or a visit to a different, smaller town to explore and find a whole new stretch of beach to relax on. And that we’ll eat something truly delicious along the way, that’s guaranteed, since good food is an inseparable part of every trip we take:)

When you get back, an evening, calming yoga session awaits in the studio. The perfect way to close out a day full of impressions. Or maybe it’ll be one of those evenings with a sound bath of singing bowls and gongs, soothing body and mind, or a Spanish-style dance class, full of energy and laughter? Afterward, dinner in town, a table with an ocean view, a glass of wine as the sun sets, and a peaceful walk back to the apartments through the streets of Corralejo.

And then, almost certainly, a deep sleep to the sound of palm trees rustling in the wind, while outside the window stretches the island’s black night – and tomorrow, another day just like this one awaits.
