About the location
Set between stunning mountain scenery with sandy beaches just a 12 minute walk away, the luxury complex where you’ll stay lies in the ‘green triangle’ of the Costa Blanca between the towns of Calpe, Moraira and Benissa and is just an hour’s drive from Alicante airport.
The luxury retreat is based around the design of a Mediterranean plaza with apartments situated around a central lagoon, landscaped gardens looking out over the sea and surrounding green landscape, and the retreat offers guests privacy, security and tranquillity and is the ideal setting for a rejuvenating and relaxing all inclusive wellness holiday.
The retreat offers you an enjoyable detox experience which focuses on motivating and educating you towards a healthier lifestyle using a more holistic approach to military boot camp style holidays. This is a unique approach to wellness but one where you’ll still see fantastic results.
A short 12 minute stroll will take you to the beautiful local beach – a pretty stretch of sand divided in two the by the soaring mass of the Ifach De Penon, a national park, complete with its own 330 metre mountain. From the beach you can enjoy several nature walks along the coastal paths which offer the perfect place to admire the stunning coastline.
The bustling town of Calpe is just the other side of this peninsula and is located a 20-30 minute walk away from the complex. The town has an array of shops and restaurants, though all food and drink will be provided at the complex, and there is a supermarket a short walk away. The town of Moraira used to be an old fishing village but has now developed into a lively town and is situated just 9km from the retreat if you wanted to explore the local area.
The complex is a recently built residential area and boasts 64 apartments altogether, though the detox retreat reserves 14 private apartments to ensure a more intimate holiday where hosts can focus on each guest’s needs throughout their stay. As the luxury boot camps take place out of high season, the complex remains a secluded relaxing environment but with the added benefits of a central plaza area with attractive lagoon feature, pretty outdoor terrace areas, restaurant with formal dining area, private gym, wellbeing spa including sauna, steam room, indoor and outdoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi and facilities for massage and wellbeing treatments.
The private complex has been designed with the environment in mind; with special energy saving lighting in the apartments that turn off when no one is home, recycling, automatic roller blinds once it’s dark, and an eco-friendly water system to reuse water for plants and vegetation.
Each guest has their own luxury private apartment, and every apartment has either a twin or double room with spacious bathroom, private terrace or balcony, large lounge area with flat screen TV, granite kitchen, and all are equipped with air conditioning ensuring maximum comfort and relaxation. Free Wi-Fi is available both inside and outside the apartments.
