La Crisalida Retreats

The yoga classes, workshops, meditations, hikes and beach walks were thoughtfully organized and nourishing. This place had such positive energy, kind people, incredible food and wonderful experiences. I’ll cherish the retreat and the people I met for the rest of my life. It truly exceeded my expectations. Thank you for such a special experience. Namaste 🙏

The team is what made La Crisalida Retreats feel so special. Every staff member was kind, welcoming and supportive, creating a caring atmosphere from beginning to end. I left feeling refreshed, rebalanced and grateful, and I’ll see you soon. The detox programme is thoughtfully put together, with nourishing food and a balanced approach that helped me feel lighter, healthier and more energised. Yoga classes varied and suited all levels, with a nice balance of relaxation and gentle challenge in a beautiful, peaceful setting. The massage and holistic therapies were professional and calming, a lovely complement to the rest of the experience. Highly recommended if you’re looking to reset body and mind.

The staff were the highlight for me. They came across as genuine, dedicated people, and the plant-based food was tasty, healthy, and decent too. The place itself feels dated. The rooms are old, with equipment that seems straight out of the early 2000s, and the DVDs they expect you to watch look just as old. Facilities are pretty average, with little to offer. Most guests seemed to be women over 50, and many were repeat visitors. That shaped the training sessions, including their pace and schedule. Even an easy two-hour walk was treated as difficult. I wish the description pages made this clearer. As a younger guest, I found it disappointing and felt alone.

We made good use of the heated pool, even in early February. There are plenty of yoga, dance, and meditation classes, plus walks to the beach, hills, or lighthouse. La Crissalida is a lovely spot for sunshine, healthy food, and different activities. People come to unwind, keep active, or change their diet. They have vegan meals with no salt, using different sauces for flavor, and you can also get freshly squeezed fruit or vegetable juice.
