Take time for you: 13th - 17th November 2025
An all inclusive warm weather long weekend to help you get the best from your active life. Designed by women for women.
We love to be active. Whether running the trails, powering through a HIIT workout in the gym, cycling through the countryside, walking up mountains, swimming laps in the pool, paddle boarding along the river or practicing a power yoga sequence. Our active lifestyle helps us to be strong, release tension and be ready for adventure whatever that may be.
This retreat is aimed at ALL - whether you love to race, are at the beginning of your more active lifestyle or like to exercise for freedom and fun - this retreat will be sure to help you get the best from your training and active life.

where we stay
Active Wellness will be hosted in the Spanish hamlet of La Alqueria, at the luxury of The Palms Spain. This is a beautiful retreat centre in the hills of the stunning Andalusian countryside and close to the beautiful beaches of the Costa del Sol, yet only a short drive from Malaga airport. Regular flights leave to Malaga from all large city airports and the flight time is roughly 2 hours 40 mins. This means if you get a flight early morning you can be at the resort in time for lunch.
All en-suite rooms are individually decorated to a high standard, complete with air conditioning/heating, quality bedding, a safe, free WiFi & and outside terrace. Towels and a running clothes washing service are also included.
We have planned the activity timetable around the delicious menu of home cooked vegan/ vegetarian meals and snacks to keep you energised, refuelled and feeling fantastic.
Although there is a full agenda each day there will also be plenty of time for some well earned rest and relaxation - whether taking time to chill out in the hot tub, curl up and read a book in the beautiful gardens or making the most of the winter sun relaxing by the pool.
food
Each day we will offer brunch and dinner; freshly prepared organic and vegan or vegetarian meals during your stay ensuring you get all the nutrients you need for a healthy and balanced diet. Plentiful snacks are also available throughout the day; first thing in the morning there will be fresh fruit and during the afternoon delicious sweet treats for you to enjoy.
There is an honesty bar where drinks are available to purchase. There is also a small outside kitchen available for our guests to prepare their own hot or cold drinks at any time.
