December 4 to 11, 2026 • The Canary Coast Pilates Escape
Slow living by the Atlantic Ocean.
Join us for an intimate Pilates retreat in Tenerife with seven nights of ocean air, island movement, local flavours and coastal calm in an authentic fishing village far away from the crowds.
Barefoot mornings
Atlantic light
01 / THE EXPERIENCE
Move, rest and explore by the sea.
Sunshine, movement and coastal calm, held by the natural rhythm of island life.
We will stay in an authentic Canarian coastal home overlooking the ocean and just steps from the beach. It is a place for slow mornings, outdoor meals on the terrace, golden light and the freedom to live in light clothing with the sea breeze on your skin.
Our small fishing village sits on Tenerife’s eastern coast, between the north and south. Predominantly frequented by locals, it is known for its authenticity, simplicity and calm. This is hidden Tenerife, far from commercial tourism.
02 / THE RETREAT THEME
Slow Living by the Atlantic Ocean
Less rushing.
More living.
This week is an invitation to embrace a simpler rhythm: move your body, breathe the fresh ocean air, savour delicious local flavours, explore wild landscapes and give yourself the space to be fully present.
Live by the coast
Slow mornings, coastal walks, ocean swims, outdoor meals and the natural rhythm of island life.
Return to what matters
Nature, simplicity, friendship, journaling and the spaciousness to feel clear, grounded and alive.
03 / YOUR DAILY RHYTHM
Days with flow,
not pressure.
Each day balances movement, nature, shared meals and spaciousness, with room for the Atlantic weather and what the group needs most.
Morning
Move & breathe
Wake to the sea breeze, meet on the mat for daily Pilates, then linger over coffee and a freshly prepared breakfast.
Midday
Swim & savour
Walk the coast, discover hidden natural swimming pools or share a long lunch filled with local flavours.
Afternoon
Explore & restore
Some days invite adventure in Teide or Anaga; others leave space for an ocean swim, journaling, intention setting or rest.
Evening
Gather & exhale
Come together for an evening aperitivo, a shared meal and easy conversation in the warm Atlantic air.
A sample rhythm, not a rigid schedule. [ADD THE FINAL DAY-BY-DAY ITINERARY, INCLUDING ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE DETAILS.]
