Detox & Weight Loss Retreat for the Over-50s in the Spanish Countryside

The retreat happens at Villa Prana, a private countryside villa between Benissa and Teulada, about an hour from Alicante airport. The setting is classic Mediterranean – open skies, the smell of pine and rosemary, quiet country paths threading through almond and olive groves. There are only ever eight guests, so it feels more like staying in a friend's home than being on a retreat. Mornings start with gentle movement or yoga on the terrace, then a slow breakfast. Afternoons are flexible: rest by the pool, book a treatment, join a guided countryside walk, or just sit with a book. Every day includes quiet one-to-one time with Jeroen, which is what really sets this place apart – nothing gets missed, and you never feel like just another guest in a group. Evenings close with dinner around one table and often a bit of yoga or breathwork. The food is a big part of it. Chef Gareth cooks fresh, mostly plant-based meals daily, and there's a hands-on cooking session so you can take some of the kitchen home with you. The cancellation policy is clear: free cancellation up to 60 days before arrival, with a 50% refund 30-59 days out. This is a retreat for anyone 50+ who wants to slow down, eat properly, move gently, and feel properly cared for.
