Experience Overview
We are happy to welcome you to this 4 day / 3-night yoga break in the friendly La Crisalida health and wellbeing retreat in the gorgeous seaside town of Albir, Alicante, Spain.
Imagine waking up and practicing your sun salutations on our roof terrace, with the sun rising over the sea and birds singing all around. You can smell the sea air and feel the freshness of a new morning in the air.
We combine the specific health benefits of yoga with healthy plant-based (vegan) Mediterranean food to give you a complete mind-body experience.
In addition to yoga classes, we also offer a daily guided walk, life makeover workshops, daily meditation (silent), exercise classes (rebounding, yoga-lates, pilates, aqua aerobics in the summer) as well as weekly cooking and juice demos.
All activities and food are included in the price of your retreat.
We are open all year round (low season, medium season and high season) and you can arrive on any day of the week. Stay for 4 days (3 nights) or stay for longer - it´s up to you. Our programme runs every day.
We believe that the starting point for rejuvenation of the body and mind is through the foods that we consume. Therefore, we offer an abundance of fresh fruit, vegetables, and whole foods at La Crisalida Retreats.
We serve a plant-based (vegan) diet, packed full of nutrition to give your whole system support and a well-deserved rest.
We use seasonal products and where possible products that are grown or sourced locally, so the menu is typically Mediterranean, with a twist! All dishes are prepared and cooked on the premises, with care and loving attention from our talented chefs.
We use lots of herbs and spices to bring flavor and variety, plus serving a selection of dishes with a variety of textures, colors, and flavors.
We also offer you the opportunity to try juicing – this is included in the cost of your retreat. You can choose to juice for one meal, one day or one week, instead of eating.
Each day you decide whether you want to eat or juice, you have the flexibility to make your retreat personal for you.
All the meals (or juices) are included in the cost of your retreat. We serve three meals every day, as a buffet, so you can select from a wide range of dishes, sampling each dish. There are always lots of different dishes to try!
All food is served fresh, prepared and cooked on the premises, with care and loving attention.
The foods that we do not serve include sugar, bread, dairy products (including milk, yogurts, and cheese), eggs, salt, coffee and tea (except herbal and green teas), alcohol and sweets. These foods all place extra stress on our body systems, so by cutting them out for a few days or longer, the body has the opportunity to rebalance itself. We do serve vegan alternatives including rice milk or soy yogurts.
La Crisalida Retreats can cater for most dietary requests for allergies or intolerances, including gluten- or wheat-free, coeliacs and people with nut allergies. Please let them know at the time of booking if you have a special dietary request. Most of our food is naturally gluten-free, although occasionally we do serve couscous or a couple of other dishes containing gluten. Each meal is nutritionally balanced, so will include vegan sources of protein and a carbohydrate option.
You are encouraged to drink at least 3-5 liters of water per day whilst at the retreat as this helps with the elimination of toxins and helps to keep the body well hydrated. Filtered water is available for you around the retreat.
There is also a wide range of herbal teas, including green tea and hot water so you can make yourself a hot drink whenever you chose. Fresh fruit is always available.
