What’s It All About?

This ain’t your average hotel stay. The Mediterranean Serenity Retreat is all about slowing down and soaking up the good vibes of Costa Brava’s rugged coastline. You’ll wake up to the sound of waves, stretch out with yoga on a quiet beach, and paddle through crystal waters in a kayak. Evenings? Think farm-fresh dinners under the open sky, with local wines and dishes that’ll make you wanna move to Spain. It’s just you, your partner, and a small group of like-minded folks—max 12 people, so it feels intimate, not crowded. Perfect for couples craving a mix of zen and adventure.

Day-by-Day Vibe

Day 1: Arrival & Settle In
Land at Arra Maris, perched on a cliff with killer Mediterranean views. Check into your cozy room—think white linens, terracotta accents, and a balcony. At 6 p.m., meet your group for a welcome drink and a chill sunset yoga session on our private beach. Dinner’s a Catalan spread—think grilled seafood and local veggies—at the hotel’s terrace restaurant. Sleep like a baby to the sound of waves.

Day 2: Yoga & Coastal Walk
Morning starts with 7:30 a.m. yoga on the beach, led by a local instructor who’s all about flow and calm. After a breakfast buffet (fresh fruit, pastries, and strong coffee), lace up for a 2-hour guided walk along the Camí de Ronda trail. You’ll pass hidden coves and pine forests, with stops for photos. Afternoon’s free—laze by the pool or hit a nearby cafe. Dinner’s another farm-to-table feast, maybe with pa amb tomàquet and roasted lamb.

Day 3: Kayak Adventure
Post-yoga and breakfast, grab a kayak for a 3-hour paddle to secret coves near Tossa de Mar. Your guide’ll point out sea caves and maybe some fish darting below. Lunch is on your own—try a beachside spot in Lloret de Mar. Afternoon’s yours: nap, read, or stroll the hotel’s olive grove. Dinner’s a group affair with local wines and dessert under the stars. Sorry, I meant dessert’s amazing—crema catalana, anyone?

Day 4: More Yoga & Exploration
Another beach yoga sesh kicks off the day, followed by breakfast. Then, a second guided walk, this time to Cala Sa Futadera, a postcard-perfect beach. It’s a 3-hour round trip, with time to dip in the turquoise water. Afternoon’s free—maybe book a massage at the hotel spa (extra cost). Dinner’s on you tonight; our staff can recommend spots like a tapas bar in Blanes. Pro tip: try the gambas al ajillo.

Day 5: Kayak & Chill
After yoga and brekkie, head out for your second kayak trip, exploring cliffs near Sant Feliu de Guíxols. It’s about 2.5 hours, with a stop to swim in a quiet bay. Back at the hotel, the afternoon’s yours—lounge, journal, or sip rosé by the pool. The final dinner’s a big one: a Catalan feast with live acoustic music and plenty of toasts to new friends.

Day 6: Farewell
One last yoga session, if you’re up for it, then a leisurely breakfast. Check out by 11 a.m., but feel free to linger at the hotel’s cafe. Need transfer tips to Girona or Barcelona? We got you.

Why You’ll Love It

This retreat’s for couples who want to hit pause. The yoga’s gentle—beginners welcome—and the kayaking’s easy, no pro skills needed. Coastal walks are moderate (3-5 km, some hills), so comfy shoes are a must. Arra Maris itself is a gem: 15 rooms, a small pool, and a staff that feels like family. The food’s a highlight—local, fresh, and full of Catalan soul. Plus, the small group size means you’ll actually connect, not just nod at strangers. It’s romantic without being cheesy, active without being exhausting.
