We have special offers currently available on a fitscape fitness week and a destination yoga holiday, both in March.  Join us on a fitscape week to sunny southern Spain from 1 – 8 March and we will pay for your flights (up to the value of £200) per person.  Alternatively, if yoga is your preference, we’re offering £100 discount on our destination yoga week, also to Spain, from 18 – 25 March.

fitscape: this week is hosted at our charming and very comfortable boutique hotel, 20 minutes in land from the coast at Sotogrande.  Your schedule is packed full of different options every day so that with the help of our expert trainers you can design your own personal schedule for optimum results. You tell us what you want to get out of your holiday – anything from a gentle, motivating kick-start through to a serious competitive challenge.  The holiday is suitable for all ages and levels of fitness, and our friendly trainers make sure that all guests achieve maximum benefits and, very importantly, have a great time doing so.  Afterall, it’s a holiday!  For full details, please see fitscape Spain or enquire now

destination yoga: the retreat is hosted at the wonderful Shanti Som, 20 minutes in land from Marbella.  Shanti Som is a delightful and very luxurious slice of south east Asia in the hills 20 minutes north of Marbella. It sounds bizarre, but works beautifully. Why fly long haul to Asia when you can nip down to sunny southern Spain instead?

Once you step through the doors of this boutique 14 bedroom residence, you enter another world. Its stylish and elegant design, high beamed ceilings, thatched roof-tops, tinkling water and liberal sprinkling of giant Buddhas all create the sense of being on another continent. It’s delightfully welcoming and instantly calming. The perfect haven for a 7 night yoga retreat, allowing you to return refreshed and energised and ready to face the world with a smile.  For further information, please see destination yoga Spain or enquire now

Note:  please note that places on both holidays are strictly limited and that the discounts and free flights are therefore offered on a first come first served basis.  If you’d prefer to call us to discuss matters further, we would be delighted to hear from you.  Please call 0845 458 0723

Great little piece on destination yoga in yesterday’s Sunday Observer in their Great Escapes section. “Marbella may not seem an obvious destination to go in search of enlightenment and the ancient healing therapies of the Far East, but a new health resort is bringing a flavour of Bali to Spain – without the jet lag. Just a 40 minute drive from the Coast del Sol, Shanti Som takes its inspiration from Asian destination spas with Buddha statues, tropical gardens, Asian-Med fusion cuisine, eastern therapies and a programme of detox, meditation and yoga. Destination Yoga will be running its next retreat here in March. A 7 night yoga retreat from £945.”

During the course of 2012, destination yoga will be hosting 4 retreats to Shanti Som with a selection of outstanding teachers, including Sophie Coats, Emma Henry and Laura Gilmore.  And, after the success of the New Year retreat this year, destination yoga will be hosting another at the end of this year.  Dates to be announced shortly.  To be sure of receiving notification when the date is announced, please register for the destination yoga newsletter

We are pleased to announce that destination yoga will be hosting a 6 day / 5 night yoga retreat to sunny southern Spain over New Year, from 28 December to 2 January.  The retreat will be hosted at Shanti Som, a delightful slice of South East Asia, but only 20 minutes north of Marbella in beautiful rolling countryside.  Why fly long haul to Asia when you can simply nip down to Spain?

Once you step through the doors of this boutique 14 bedroom residence, you enter another world.  Its stylish and elegant design, high beamed ceilings, thatched roof-tops, tinkling water and liberal sprinkling of giant Buddhas all create the sense of being on another continent.  It’s delightfully welcoming and instantly calming.  The perfect haven for a 5 night yoga retreat over New Year, allowing you to return refreshed and energised and ready to face 2012 with a smile.

Tucked away in a shallow valley, surrounded by rolling hills and open countryside, Shanti Som lets you escape the hustle and bustle of modern life and immerse yourself in all things healthy and peaceful.  The food is delicious, nutritious and healthy; the spa offers an excellent array of treatments and therapies; the yoga pavillion is a triumph; the hillside pool is a tranquil oasis and the bedrooms are supremely comfortable, and all with stunning en suite shower rooms.

Liz Lark, one of our much loved and highly acclaimed yoga teachers, will be teaching guests on this New Year retreat, with morning and evening classes every day.  Between classes you can walk in the countryside, relax by the pool, treat yourself to a massage in the spa, or enjoy a session in the steam room or sauna.

Prices include 5 nights accommodation, brunch and dinner every day, all yoga classes, and free use of the sauna, steam room and pool.  We hope you will agree that this is great value for a luxurious New Year getaway in the Spanish sunshine.
