4-Day Express Detox and Yoga Retreat in the Sierra de Mariola, Spain

This isn't a retreat where you just show up and hope for the best. The process starts a week before you arrive, when you receive a Pre-Detox Manual and a health questionnaire. The manual walks you through how to prepare your body, and the questionnaire tells the team about your health history so they can tailor the experience to you. That kind of preparation makes a real difference—you're not going cold turkey on day one.

Once you're at MasQi, the days follow a clear rhythm. You'll have three yoga classes spread across your stay, held in a geodesic dome with views of the mountains. The classes are gentle and suitable for all levels—the focus is on aiding the cleansing process, not pushing your limits. Between yoga, you'll have plenty of time to rest, read, or wander the trails of the natural park. There's also a 90-minute video workshop on macrobiotic nutrition, which explains the principles behind the detox diet and gives you practical knowledge for healthy eating after the retreat.

The farmhouse itself has a lot of character. It's a stone building with thick walls, wooden beams, and modern comforts like free Wi-Fi and underfloor heating. There's a pool for warmer months, a small spa for optional treatments, and a dining room where you'll have your meals—broths, smoothies, and infusions, all made from organic ingredients. The atmosphere is peaceful and unhurried, and the sound of birds is more common than traffic.

Your host, Sonia Ferre, is a yoga teacher and psychobioenergetic therapist with a background in business. She opened MasQi in 2014 after a career change, and she's personally involved in most retreats. She's warm, pragmatic, and knowledgeable, and she's happy to sit down with you to discuss your goals. The retreat also includes optional extras like Ayurvedic massage and lymphatic drainage, which you can add to make your stay even deeper.
