Summary

Bring some fresh air into your practice on this 6-day yoga and hiking retreat in lovely coastal Spain. 
The daily yoga sessions are designed to complement the hikes combining the deep stretches of Hatha with the warming flow of Vinyasa and some deeply restorative and relaxing Yin Yoga.

Morning yoga sessions focus on simple flowing sequences to stretch muscles and open joints whilst synchronising your breath with movement so that your practice becomes like a calming moving meditation.

Evening classes are more restorative where you will hold postures a little longer using the breath to move deeper within and reconnect with your inner peace.

The first walk is an easy 13k guided route through quiet lanes and country tracks close to the hotel. You’ll pass country houses, crops of oranges, lemons, olives, figs and avocados before heading towards the sea and back to the hotel. 

The second is a 4-5 hour hike on a mountain - the second highest peak on the coast. But don’t worry, you'll not be climbing to the top. Instead you’ll be walking around the mountain to enjoy the full 360-degree views across the neighbouring mountains and down to the sea. 

There’s also a chance to do a 3rd self guided hike along the coast with maps provided by the team. All walks are of course optional.

When not hiking or doing yoga, the team has a few other optional activities you can join– there’s a guided bike ride, Spanish cookery workshop or, you can lay back and let the fantastic therapists pamper you with their soothing treatments and massages.

Reviews

Alicante, Spain

Altea is without doubt one of the most charming towns to be found on Spain’s ‘White Coast’, located in the region of Alicante on the Costa Blanca. Retaining its own unique Spanish charm in spite of its increasing tourism and popularity, it lies directly by the sea in the midst of a beautiful bay and is surrounding by rugged mountains - really picturesque! 


Situated on a steep hillside a short walk from the sea, with stunning views over the Bay of Altea, it is a town steeped in history and has long been a popular retreat for artists, sculptors and writers. With the recent addition of the University of Culture and Fine Arts and a new concert hall Altea has been bestowed the official title of the 'Cultural Capital of the Valencian region'.


The city centre is a treasure trove of shops, craft galleries, restaurants and little white-washed buildings adorned with flowers - all waiting to be discovered in the winding and cobbled medieval lanes, look for the famous blue-domed church of the Virgin de Consuelo at the top of these lanes; it is well worth the walk, the views from the top overlooking the bay of Altea with the mountain backdrop are nothing short of spectacular!


Altea is located a ten minute drive North of Benidorm, about 1 hour from Alicante along the N-332 and is one of the most memorable coastal towns of the Costa Blanca. Alicante El Altet Airport is the closest one. Alsa Buses runs services from the airport to Altea. The town is also a stop in the Alicante Tram system.
