Wellness Escape: Yoga & Pilates on Spain's Costa Brava

The week unfolds in four modern apartments at Casa Caliente, a small family-run settlement on the cliffs above Roses, with direct sea views. Elske leads flowing Vinyasa yoga most mornings, while Marrigje — who runs her own movement studio in the Netherlands and has a large online following — takes the afternoon Pilates sessions. Because the group is only ten people, the teaching is personal, not performative.

The daily rhythm is deliberately simple: a light breakfast, a yoga or Pilates class, a big brunch, then a free afternoon. On several days the group heads out on coastal paths through the Cap de Creus Natural Park, past pine and wild rosemary, to viewpoints that stop conversation. One day is given to exploring the nearby towns of the Alt Empordà region — Salvador Dalí's home turf — with trips to the Dalí Museum in Figueres or his house in Port Lligat.

Food is a real focal point, cooked from seasonal, local ingredients. Brunch is the main meal, with a lighter dinner in the evening. There's always something plant-based, with meat or fish some days. Wine appears at dinner.

The retreat is hosted by Olaf, who organises the logistics and creates a welcoming atmosphere. No one pushes you into activity. The whole thing runs on a relaxed, all-inclusive basis, with the only real decisions being whether to walk down to the beach or sit on the terrace.
