Experience Overview
If you are looking to boost your energy levels, feel good about yourself and maybe lose some weight then La Crisalida’s yoga, detox, and weight loss program has been designed for you!
La Crisalida Retreats is a health and wellbeing retreat located on the stunning Costa Blanca, Spain, a short walk away from a lovely beach.
We offer an all-inclusive programme of activities, which include yoga, meditation, daily guided walks, exercise classes (like rebounding, yoga-lates, pilates, legs, bums and tums, and aqua aerobics in the summer) and life makeover workshops.
These activities are combined with fabulous plant-based (vegan) food or freshly made juices to help to detox your body, mind, and spirit, and also lose weight.
We are open all year round (three seasons: low, medium and high). You can arrive any day of the week as our programme runs every day, and you can stay for as long as you want.
This package is for 7 nights/8 days, so please contact us if you would like to stay for a different length of time.
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. The food is included in the cost of your retreat.
To us, detox and weight loss mean eating the foods that support our bodies to cleanse and to help us move towards our ideal weight, rather than adopting a starvation diet where you are always feeling hungry.
For each of our retreats, our nutritionist has designed juices and meals that cleanse and rebalance our bodies, whilst maximizing the nutritional content. A typical side effect of all this is weight loss!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Most of our food is naturally gluten-free. We can cater for food allergies and intolerances - please contact us first. Each meal is nutritionally balanced, so will include vegan sources of protein and a carbohydrate option.
Our aim is to prepare and serve tasty, fresh, wholesome nutritious food, without dairy, meat, sugars or processed foods. We use seasonal products where possible, grown or sourced locally, so the menu is typically Mediterranean. All food is served fresh, prepared and cooked on the premises, with care and loving attention.
