The villa is a premier wellness retreat destination offering an unparalleled experience in relaxation and holistic health. Located in the serene and picturesque environment of Lanzarote, the villa boasts a tennis court, a swimming pool, and a dedicated experience room with stunning sunrise and sunset views.
The mission is to provide a tranquil and comfortable environment that promotes physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being for all retreat participants.
The house lies on a plot of 6,000 m2 and all the bedrooms are ensuite, tastefully decorated, and modern. The villa has recently been renovated, so it is in excellent condition. There is also the option to stay in a separate, fully self-contained 1-bedroom apartment. Towels and hairdryers are provided in the rooms.
Solo travellers wishing to share a room will be assisted in finding a roommate.
Ladan Soltani's retreats draw students of all levels, with a diverse mix of participants. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced yogi, I tailor the experience to meet everyone’s needs. With training in various yoga disciplines, including Hatha and Ashtanga, my approach is a fusion of styles, offering a dynamic and well-rounded practice for all.
As an intuitive guide, I tune into the energy of the group, trusting that each individual’s needs will be met during the sessions. Ladan Soltani provides personalised attention, continually making adjustments to ensure everyone receives the support they need. Whether through group adaptations or individual modifications, she caters to all levels. For those seeking a greater challenge, she also offers more advanced variations of the postures.
Each morning, during our New Year yoga retreat, you’ll begin with a rejuvenating yoga session, followed by a nourishing vegetarian brunch made with locally sourced ingredients and expertly prepared by one of the island’s top chefs.
The chef is also a cookery teacher who runs a school dedicated to healthy eating and living. She helps individuals achieve optimal well-being through food. During the retreat, you’ll have the opportunity to book one-on-one healthy eating cookery classes with her.
The evening sessions will offer a variety of practices, including Yin yoga, yoga Nidra, breathwork, and guided meditation, all followed by a delicious dinner. Between the morning and evening sessions, there will be plenty of free time to explore the island’s wonders and learn about its rich history. Alternatively, you can relax at the villa, enjoy a soothing massage, or unwind with a book by the pool. Additionally, I’m offering one-on-one yoga and coaching sessions for a more personalised experience.
