Exclusive for Health and Fitness Travel guests
What an amazing place the Fit Retreat is. I was a bit nervous about a retreat as i didn't want a full on military style exercise boot camp or a yoga centric retreat with nothing to make you sweat. It was harder than you'd expect to find such a place but then i came across the Fit retreat. It's the most relaxed and energized i've ever felt from a holiday. the perfect mix of HIT training on the beach, hikes in the afternoon and some yoga thrown in for good measure. Layer on top an amazing private chef and massages and i was in my element. James and Lianne who run it have managed to inject their warm personalities into this place and it works like a dream, they're encouraging, inspiring and nothing is too much trouble to make the stay perfect.
Everything from the workouts to the food was executed at the highest level and the plan is to keep it up now I'm back to reality. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough. Book it immediately you won't regret it.
• Most of the activities take place in the mountains that surround, encouraging people to make the most of the nature on their doorstep.
• Due to the size of the retreat, the meal plans, yoga classes and workouts can be individually tailored to meet your health and fitness needs.
• Stunning views of the volcano can be seen even from the comfort of your room.
• The rural location means that there is little but the stunning views to distract you from your fitness goals.
• Although there is WiFi resort-wide, it can sometimes be slow in the suites.
• If you are looking to meet lots of different people and a more sociable atmosphere, the size of this retreat might not be for you, however the intimacy of the group means that you will get to know your fellow travellers very well.
