4-Day Deep Cleanse Detox & Yoga Escape in Alicante Mountains

The retreat takes place at MasQi, a restored 19th-century farmhouse in Banyeres de Mariola, surrounded by the Sierra de Mariola Natural Park. The property is run by Sonia Ferre, who opened its doors in 2014 after a career change from the textile industry into yoga and energy therapies. The farmhouse keeps its original character — think thick walls, mountain views, and a peaceful atmosphere — with a modern purpose-built yoga dome and a massage centre for treatments.

What makes this program different from a generic wellness break is how structured the detox is. It doesn't start when you check in. About a week before you arrive, you receive a Pre-Detox Manual and health questionnaire, so you know what to expect and the team understands your needs in advance. On site, you're given a Detox Kit with a skin-brushing glove, a tongue scraper and a hot water bottle, then guided through three days of liquid meals: organic broths, smoothies and infusions, plus a constant supply of Kukicha tea. The food element is strict but simple, and because it's all planned for you, there's no decision fatigue — you just follow the schedule.

Yoga is woven into the program rather than treated as a separate add-on. Three classes across the stay are designed to support the cleansing process — gentle movement, breathwork and body awareness rather than athletic practice. Alongside that, there's a 90-minute video workshop on macrobiotic nutrition and a farewell session where Sonia gives you personalised advice on transitioning back to solid food and keeping healthier habits at home. The idea is that you leave not just lighter, but with a plan.

Sonia's own background shapes the whole experience. She's a certified yoga teacher (trained in India), a Third Degree Reiki practitioner, and a psychobioenergetic therapist, and she's currently completing a postgraduate program in macrobiotic consulting. You can add optional treatments like Ayurvedic detox massage, lymphatic drainage, mentoring or psychobioenergetic therapy if you want more support — all at an additional cost. It's a personal, hands-on retreat run by someone who's clearly invested in the method.
