6-Day Yoga and Adventure Escape with Island Excursions in Tenerife

Each day follows a satisfying rhythm. You'll wake up, grab a coffee or juice, then move through a 75-minute vinyasa class with guided meditation. Breakfast follows – a buffet with fruit, granola, pastries, eggs and pancakes. Afternoons are the adventurous part: on two days there's an optional guided hike (around €39 each) into the Masca Valley or up Mount Teide, and on other days you might visit a hidden beach or join a free group activity. Evenings bring a slower yin or restorative class, then a two-course dinner with cuisines from Thai to Mexican, with wine available if you want it.

What makes this retreat different is the freedom built into it. The hosts really mean it when they say activities are optional. The villa has a pool, terraces and stunning mountain views, so skipping a trip to just relax is completely normal. The group is small – normally between one and eight people – so it feels personal, and the friendly, social vibe means solo travellers quickly feel part of things. There's even a resident dog that guests mention in their reviews.

The villa itself, Villa Pranayama, sits in the hills of Arona, ten minutes from the beaches of Los Cristianos and close to the resorts of Costa Adeje. It has five large double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, two lounges, a plunge pool and a treatment room. The location gives you both quiet mountain views and easy access to the south coast's restaurants, bars and water sports.

The yoga teacher for this retreat is Aroa, who has trained across India, Indonesia, Thailand, England, Nepal, Greece and Spain. She's also studied Reiki, Tantra, Thai massage and Vipassana, and brings a gentle, adaptive style that meets you where you are. Her classes focus on connecting with the body and breath, and she's skilled at modifying poses for different levels and needs.
