This four-day retreat is for you if you want a short, focused pause to cleanse and reset without committing to a long stay. It suits first-time solo travellers and returning guests alike, whether you are taking a break for the first time or coming back for an annual health top-up. Guests typically range from 25 to 65–70 years old, and many arrive alone. With a maximum of 15 guests at a time, it is easy to connect with others or simply enjoy quiet time for yourself.

You will stay at Shanti-Som, a boutique property with just 15 rooms, tucked into the foothills of the Sierra de las Nieves in Monda, near Marbella in Andalusia. The atmosphere is calm and personal, and the staff make a point of getting to know you; guests repeatedly mention how looked-after they feel. The property sits in lush gardens with panoramic mountain views, with plenty of lounge areas to settle into, a pool, a spa with a sauna, and a yoga shala. Your private room, either a Garden View room with its own terrace or a Mountain View room with a balcony over the surrounding peaks, is 20 square metres with an ensuite bathroom, air conditioning and wifi.

Your stay begins with a welcome health check and wellness consultation with your Wellness Coach, followed by a gentle yoga class focused on detoxifying twists and breathing, and a light cleansing dinner to prepare your system. The full days that follow have an easy rhythm. You start with warm lemon water and herbal tea, then morning yoga, before a cold-pressed juice and light breakfast. Late morning brings a personalised spa treatment such as lymphatic drainage, a detox body wrap or infrared sauna, with optional colonic hydrotherapy available on the third day for an extra €40. Afternoons are yours to relax by the pool, walk in the gardens, meditate or join a nature walk in the Sierra de las Nieves, before restorative yoga, yoga nidra, breathwork or guided meditation in the early evening and a light, cleansing dinner.

Food is a healthy fusion of Mediterranean and Asian flavours, with a breakfast buffet, an à la carte lunch and a changing set dinner menu. The emphasis is on fresh, seasonal ingredients, and the meals are designed to be nourishing and satisfying, fitting the detox programme without feeling like a punishment. Gluten-free, lactose-free and vegan diets are catered for at no additional cost.

The 4-day retreat costs 1536 USD per person and includes three nights' accommodation, daily detox juice and supplements, unlimited tea and infusions, daily group yoga and meditation, a health check and personalised health plan, a 30-minute pressotherapy session, a 60-minute spa treatment, a detox welcome package, a pre-detox guide, daily guidance and a Shanti-Som gift. On your final morning, after a last yoga and meditation practice, you will sit down with your coach for a personalised health review and a post-retreat maintenance plan, so you leave with a clear way to carry the benefits home.
