Sana Sana Retreat in the beautiful Spanish countryside, the place where life slows down and you embrace change. With small and personal groups, you’ll never feel lost in a crowd. Instead, you’ll be supported like a friend and welcomed like family. Each day blends movement, mindfulness, nourishing food, and time to rest, all at your own pace. From countryside walks, exercise classes, yoga and meditation to cookery demos and delicious plant-based meals or juices, all is taken care of. Everything is optional so whether you join every class or spend your time reading by the pool, this is your space to do what you need. Lose weight. Get fitter. De-stress and unwind. Or simply rest and relax. By the end of the week, you’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and ready to take on the world.
A Fun & Enjoyable Approach To Healthy Living
Our program has been carefully designed and created to help you achieve your wellness goals. Start the day with a gentle exercise routine and a walk in the surrounding countryside, followed by breakfast and a longer, more challenging walk. Your day provides you with a choice of classes to attend from rebounding, boxercise, HIIT and more as well as evening yoga and meditation to round off the day led by an experienced team. Join a class, take a dip in the pool, or simply relax with a book. Everything is optional, so you can set your own pace. During the week, there are also outings to local areas to take in the rich Spanish culture and beautiful views. This retreat is about switching off, recharging, and returning home feeling better, without pressure.
Creating Long Lasting, Sustainable Change
At Sana Sana, we’re not a big retreat and we’re not trying to be. We have chosen to be small on purpose because keeping things personal means we can spend real, quality time with the people who choose to be here. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solutions. We’re not gurus or experts and would never claim to be. We’re real people who wear our hearts on our sleeves, doing the work right alongside you – navigating life’s constant challenges, growing, learning, healing. Just like you. We’re here to help you slow down, reset, and reconnect – not because we’ve got all the answers, but because we’ve walked this road too. Our simple aim ? To help people live healthier, happier, more connected lives, whatever that looks like for them.
Welcome to Your Home for the Week
At Sana Sana Retreat, it’s not just the program that brings people back to themselves, it’s the location and little places scattered around the retreat that invite you to slow down, breathe, and just be. Set in a private, serene location, the villa is just a short drive from the charming, authentic village of Benissa, where old-world charm meets local culture. From the terrace and gardens, you’ll enjoy sweeping views across the valley, all the way to the iconic bay of Moraira and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea beyond. Sunrises are golden, sunsets are magical, and on clear days, the horizon seems to go on forever. This is the kind of place you come to breathe again, to reconnect with yourself, and to remember what it feels like to be still.
Your Personal Retreat Within The Retreat
Our retreat offers a warm, homely space where you can truly rest and recharge. We have three types of thoughtfully designed rooms, each offering comfort, calm, and space to unwind after a day of nourishment and connection. Choose from one of our 5 Rooms perfect for solo guests, couples or friends, all with bathroom en-suite, spacious and luxurious. Choose between single or twin occupancy, depending on your preference and availability. All rooms include fresh towels and linen, storage space, air conditioning and beautiful natural light. Whether you’re coming on your own or with a friend, we’ll help you find the perfect space to support your experience.
Space to Rest, Relax, Reflect and Revitalise
Our retreat is designed to feel like a home away from home. Guests can help themselves to teas and coffees in the large living, or settle into the cosy living room to relax, read, or chat. Meals are enjoyed together in one of our 3 spacious dining areas, creating a welcoming, communal atmosphere. Outside, the verandah offers stunning views over the surrounding countryside, perfect for morning coffees or quiet reflection. Our exercise area is open and spacious, giving you views of the countryside whilst working out. The intimate pool area, with sun loungers and shaded spots, is perfect for lazy afternoons. Whether you’re looking to connect with others or enjoy time to yourself, there’s plenty of space both indoors and out to do just that.
Food for The Mind, Body and Soul
Food is a big part of the experience at Sana Sana. We believe healthy eating should be both nourishing and enjoyable. Before your retreat, you’ll select from our daily menu, choosing freshly made juices or meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All dishes are plant-based and made with seasonal produce from our local village market, giving your body time to reset and recharge. On the final evening, we serve a special celebratory meal with the option of chicken or fish, always a guest favourite and a lovely way to mark the end of your stay. We cater to all dietary needs and preferences, which you can share with us in advance. Whether you’re juicing, eating, or doing a little of both, our food is here to support your energy, goals, and sense of wellbeing, all served with care and flavour.
Come As You Are
Feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, frustrated, or simply in need of a reset. Most of our guests travel solo, so we offer lots of support and information beforehand to make sure you feel confident, comfortable, and welcomed from the moment you arrive. Whether you’re looking to build healthier habits, explore plant-based eating, move your body more, or just take a break from daily life, our program is gentle, practical, and accessible. Small group sizes mean you get plenty of personal attention and support, whether it’s your first retreat or your fifth. No experience in yoga, fitness, or meditation is needed – all levels are catered to. It’s not unusual to arrive alone and leave with new friends. If you’re ready to make your health and happiness a priority, we’d love to welcome you.

Please note that our retreat is set in the beautiful mountainous region of Spain, and the property includes some gentle slopes, steps, and some uneven ground. Because of this, a moderate level of mobility is recommended to ensure you can comfortably enjoy all areas of the venue, however, we are there to provide a helping and supportive hand to help you around. If you have any concerns at all, please do not hesitate to contact us and we can discuss anything you wish.
We believe that sustainability starts close to home and that is why all of our meals are made using fresh, seasonal produce sourced from our local village market in Benissa. We’ve proudly partnered with the same local farming family since opening our retreat in 2014, supporting our community while ensuring the freshest ingredients for our guests.
We run our 7-Day Retreats at select times throughout the year running from Saturday to Saturday, with carefully chosen dates in January, March, April, May, June, September, October, November and December. This allows us to keep each group intentionally small so you get personal attention, space to breathe, and a real chance to reset. It also means that our entire team can be fully present during your stay, supporting you every step of the way
