Nasthasia has been running retreats here since 2019 or 2020 (the page says both), and the format is simple: two yoga sessions a day, one active and one restorative, with a long free afternoon in between. The morning Hatha class focuses on a different theme each day — grounding, balance, core stability — and includes pranayama. The evening Yin class is slower, with longer holds, and on day four it's followed by Yoga Nidra.

You stay at the Hatha House, a modern oceanfront property with just three independent apartments. Each guest or couple gets a whole apartment: bedroom, bathroom, full kitchen, living room and a private terrace facing the Atlantic. Yoga takes place in the garden under the trees or on the sea-view terraces, depending on the weather.

Food is vegetarian and mostly homemade. Brunch after yoga might be a colourful spread of seasonal vegetables, grains and eggs; dinner is a cooked vegetarian meal. The operator can cater for vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-allergy requirements with advance notice. Lunch isn't included, and there's no dinner on the Sunday.

The week includes one full-day excursion to Teide National Park — an early start, a walk among the volcanic landscapes and panoramic viewpoints, and a picnic lunch. If you book the surf package, you get three surf sessions with professional instructors instead of some of the free afternoons. The rest of the time is yours: swim in the natural pools, walk the coastal promenade, or explore the Anaga Rural Park nearby.

What makes this different from a larger retreat centre is the scale. With a maximum of six guests and three apartments, it feels more like staying at a friend's house than a hotel. There's no rigid schedule beyond the yoga times, and Nasthasia teaches to the group in front of her rather than following a set sequence.
