WELCOME INFO.
THANKS FOR BOOKING!
Below we have compiled all of the necessary information that you need to get ready for your Bliss Yoga Retreat!
After reading all of the information if you still have a specific question that hasn't been answered please feel free to get in touch!
Can I book an extra night?
Check in and check out times and booking an extra night
The standard check in and check out time are 12pm in the afternoon. However if the flights would be more convenient for you it is possible to arrive the day before the retreat starts between 4 - 10pm for an additional fee including dinner and self serrvice breakfast. If your flight on leaving day is later in the day then you have to check out of your room at 12pm but you are welcome to stay and relax by the pool while you wait for your flight free of charge.
How to get here?
The address, instructions and directions
Calle Martin Gonzalez 2,
Buzanada,
38640
The retreat is located just 15 minutes drive from Tenerife South Airport, so we advise to choose this airport for your flights when possible. There are no direct buses from the airport to Buzanada and so we reccomend taking a taxi as the most convenient way to arrive. We make a whatsapp group 1 week before the start of the retreat so that guests can arrange to share taxis if they arrive at similar times and reduce the cost. A taxi fair from the airport to the retreat will normally cost around 25 euros.
What to bring with me?
What to pack and what's provided?
Here is our suggested packing list :
- Cash in EUR for holistic treatments
- White clothes for champagne sunset
- Trainers or hiking boots
- Refillable water bottle
- Backpack for hiking
- Hairdryer if needed
- Suncream
- Snack food from your own country to share with the group at sunset picnic (optional)
We provide all of the yoga equipment, shower and beach towels and toiletries. We suggest bringing cash with you in euros if you would like to book any holistic treatments while you are staying with us. Also bring a white outfit for the last night and some warm clothes for the excursion in the Teide national park as it can be cold in the evening at high altitude.
Booking Holistic Treatments
Do I need to book treatments in advance?
You can book treatments while you are at the retreat, but if you would like a treatment on a specific day or time please book in advance to ensure your time slot. Also please remember to bring cash in euros to pay for your treatments
The Bliss Yoga Menu
Our menu and recipes
If you have any allergies or intolerances please check our dinner menu in advance and let us know if there is anything you can't eat. We are more than happy to prepare an alternative as long as we are given prior notice. All our dinners are vegan as standard and we cater for gluten free also provided we are told in advance.
Our Adventures
Our excursions included in the retreat
We have a range of FREE adventures at our Tenerife Retreats including an afternoon exploring the breath-taking Masca Valley, a hike to a secret hippy beach, a hike around the volcano Mount Teide and a champagne sunset in the Teide national park! But we also know that sometimes all you need to do is relax, that's why all of the activities are completely optional and there is no pressure to join any of them. So if you feel like you want to just relax by the pool with a good book then please be our guest!
The Classes & Teachers
About our yoga classes
We have two daily classes with our two amazing yoga teachers. We start the day with an energizing 9am morning Vinyasa class which is more physically demanding and a relaxing evening yin class which is slower and more meditative. Our teachers are great at adjusting the level of their classes to suit our guests ability and will always offer an easier variation when giving more challenging poses. As with the activities all of the classes are completely optional, so if your body is telling you that it needs a rest then don't feel guilty if you decide to miss a class!
Be a Karma Yogi
Your help is always appreciated
We want you to enjoy your holiday and have a relaxing time, but we also want the space that we have created to feel like a friendly community where everyone is equal. This practice is called Karma yoga and is intended to create a space where everyone feels valued and no one is treated as subservient. If you feel like doing small things around the house to help the staff like clearing your plate after dinner then it is really appreciated by us and means that our team have more time to relax and enjoy the week with you.
Carl
Our official team mascot
We have a small very relaxed and slightly overweight sausage dog cross called Carl. He is the retreats chief mascot and strategic advisor. He is also however a ninja when it comes to stealing food. So please could we ask in advance that any food that you have you put in the fridge downstairs and also please do not feed Carl at the table as we want him to have a long and happy life :)
