Yoga and Detox Retreats at MasQi, Sierra de Mariola, Spain

The core programme is the Yoga Wellness Retreat, which runs from 3 to 21 nights and puts yoga and meditation at the centre of the day. Alongside it sits the Deep Clean Detox Retreat, bookable from 4 to 21 nights, where the kitchen follows a detox diet and the therapies support the process. The Express Detox is the short version at four days. For something broader there is Transform, a seven-day programme covering health, eating habits and practical strategies, and 21 Days to Change Your Life for people who want the longer version.

The Executive anti-stress programme runs for 3 or 7 days and is aimed at people who want tools for managing day-to-day stress rather than a full detox. Renewal Breaks are the simplest option: 2 to 21 nights of rest, food and the property's facilities with no fixed programme attached. There is also a Yoga Day, an intensive day of classes and workshops with brunch included, and a Day in MasQi for people who want classes, a massage and the kitchen's cooking without staying over.

What separates MasQi from a lot of Spanish retreats is the food operation. It is a working restaurant as well as a retreat kitchen, cooking organic, largely vegetarian food with fresh local ingredients, and adapting dishes to intolerances. That means the meals are a reason to come, not a side note.

The setting is the Sierra de Mariola, a natural park inland from Alicante around Banyeres de Mariola. It is mountain country, not coast, so the days are quiet and the walking is on the doorstep. The house is called The Energy House, and the therapies, classes and restaurant all sit on the same site.

Because the programmes are modular, you can book a short reset or a three-week stay and the schedule flexes around which one you choose. The website lists the programmes separately with more detail on each.
