Active Wellness Escape in Northern Tenerife: Fitness, Recovery, and Ocean Air

The retreat is run by MBestcare, a small local operator based in Tenerife, and their whole approach is hands-on and personal. Your trainer for the week is Marnix, a Belgian who has lived on the island for over twenty years. He is an advanced personal trainer with a serious background in endurance running, having completed events like the Transvulcania and the Tenerife Blue Trail. That depth means sessions are genuinely adapted to where you are, whether you have never done a structured workout or you are training for something specific. Typical sessions cover functional strength, core work, mobility and stretching, and because the climate is mild year-round, most of it happens outdoors in the hotel gardens or by the beach. The scale of everything is what stands out. Because there are only ever a few guests, each session feels like private coaching, and the team adjusts the programme daily to how you are feeling. The wellness side is more than just a massage bolted on to a fitness week. The two included 80-minute rituals, the Canary Islands Wellness Ritual and the Atlantic Harmony Ritual, use local volcanic stones and aromatherapy and are properly thought out. There is also complimentary sauna access daily, which makes sense after training. The location does a lot of the work. Puerto de la Cruz sits in the green, volcanic north of Tenerife, far from the busier southern resorts. Around the hotel there are subtropical gardens, black-sand beaches, the botanic gardens, and Taoro Park, and you are a short walk from the town centre with its restaurants and promenade. If you want to do more, the team can organise optional extras like surfing, hiking, cycling, kayaking, or a private excursion up Mount Teide. But nothing is pushed on you. The structure is light enough that you can treat this as a training camp, a relaxation week, or something in between. You arrive with airport pickup from either Tenerife airport, and the transfers are included. Breakfast is the only meal provided, which actually works well because it keeps you free to explore the local restaurants. The team gives you recommendations for where to eat, and there are plenty of good Canarian options within walking distance.
