Lanzarote Pilates & Hiking Wellness Escape

The retreat is based in a private villa in a quieter part of Lanzarote, used as the base for the whole week. It's an intimate setup — maximum eight guests — which means the Pilates classes are small enough for hands-on corrections, and the walks are paced to the group. The island itself does a lot of the work here: the coastal hikes run along deserted beaches and up volcanoes, and the poolside Pilates sessions happen in the sun rather than indoors.

The daily rhythm is fixed but not punishing. Mornings are the active block: poolside Pilates at 8.30am, fresh juice, healthy breakfast, then a coastal hike from around 11.30am. You're back for an optional ab blast at 1.30pm and a light lunch at 2pm. From 3pm to 5.30pm is deliberately free — read, swim, or walk into the local area on your own. The day closes with gentle Pilates and stretching at 5.30pm, dinner at 7pm, and meditation at 8.30pm before bed.

The exercise mix is Pilates, body conditioning, hiking, mindfulness and meditation — described by the organisers as varied training with 'no boring workouts'. It's not a bootcamp and it's not a spa week; it sits between the two. The diet is pure, organic and fresh, with controlled portions, superfood drinks and snacks, and unlimited herbal teas.

What differentiates this from larger Pilates holidays is the size and the structure. Eight people maximum, a set schedule, a controlled diet, and no restaurant or bar trips built into the programme. The transfers from Arrecife Airport are included if you arrive at the suggested times, and the whole thing is designed to fit a five-day window — there are several departure dates across late 2025 and early 2026, with some already sold out.

Accommodation is in shared twin rooms, with a private single room supplement available. It's a villa rather than a hotel, so expect a shared living setup and a pool rather than a lobby and a buffet. The retreat is explicit that you only need training clothes, swimwear and casual clothes for the evenings — a small case is recommended. You'll need your own personal medication; staff can't administer tablets. If you take coffee, they suggest cutting down a week or so before you arrive to avoid caffeine withdrawal once the detox starts.
