What you'll do

Overview

Set on the Costa de la Luz near the town of Zahora overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, there is no better place to be inspired on this 7 or 10 night fitness & wellbeing camp; a challenging and rejuvenating fitness programme will improve your fitness as you work and reconnect with the surrounding nature.

Nestled at the foot of a nature park and a quick jaunt away from the white beach of Zahora, this fitness and wellbeing camp is the perfect place to improve your physical fitness whilst taking time out to relax.

Train in natural settings and make the most of the outdoor gym before relaxing your muscles in the jacuzzi, cooling off in the pool, or just putting up your feet in the gardens.

By day, you will have a mix of physical activities to boost your fitness levels, including but not exclusive to kettle bells, running, sprinting in the sand, yoga, team games and competitions, and some days even horseback riding.

So varied is the programme in a stunning setting that you will never get bored – the sea, the beach, the ocean and what nature provides will prove to be the best hands on gym experience you’ve ever had. You’ll join a group of other like minded travellers, making this the ideal holiday for those on the hunt for a singles activity holiday in Spain.

During this revitalising fitness and wellbeing camp, your fantastic trainer Casper and his team will be on hand to provide you with a personal assessment and attention, drawing from their wealth of experience to ensure you gain the utmost from your camp; no matter what your physical condition or your personalised goals. If you bring the spirit, you will get results!

Casper

Casper has been a personal and physical trainer for many years. Upon starting his fitness and wellbeing camp, Casper's goal was to create a setting that would help people discover the connections between personal & natural health and physical training. Whilst hunting for a location, he recognized that the area of Zahora, on Spain's Costa de la Luz, had many essential necessities for his vision; wild natural beaches, a natural park, and year round outdoor training options. Casper is joined by Samantha, a certified yoga teacher specializing in Bikram and Ashtanga yoga amongst others, as well as Agnes, who completed her Vinyasa flow teacher training in 2015 and is also a certified BASI Pilates teacher.

The training camp is in the beautiful village of Los Caños de Meca on the south coast of Spain, near Zahora beach. You’ll take full advantage of the stunning natural environment by combining challenging training with natural props and settings for great results. The area is close to the airports of Jerez, Gibraltar and Seville and the host at your retreat offers a transfer service from all airports.

Perched on the cliff-tops straddling the coast road, this sleepy little village is quickly catching up, with a reputation as a great place for travellers and water sport enthusiasts alike.

What our travellers are saying...

This was just the kick-start back into fitness that I needed. From the word 'go' it was challenging and enjoyable, either in the woods, on the beach or just in the garden. We learnt about bush-living and nutrition also. Casper is a great instructor and very motivational!

R Bradbury, UK

Great holiday, very well organised, perfect to challenge yourself and to try to go beyond your limits. Would definitely recommend.

G Pozzi, UK

Unspoiled beautiful location, delicious healthy fresh food provided by a great trainer, who has taken me to the next level of how to improve my fitness over all.
