Wellness getaway on the Costa Brava
Do you feel like escaping the stress of everyday life to breathe and regain energy? Would you like to spend a healthy weekend to reconnect with nature and become aware of the little things? We have prepared several healthy proposals that you can do on the Costa Brava during your wellness getaway.
Enter the therapeutic forests, immerse yourself in a spa, enjoy a good four-hand massage, meditate in front of the sea... The Costa Brava has many initiatives to take care of you and help you recover the energy you need.
Take a forest bath near Sant Feliu de Guíxols
Forest bathing is a healthy experience that brings you closer to nature and reconnects you in every way. They are guided walks in small groups, which are done with awareness, slowness, tranquility and silence. Thanks to this, you can reconnect with nature and obtain physiological, psychological and spiritual benefits.
You will find one of the so-called therapeutic forests between Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Tossa de Mar. It is the Ardenya forest, located in the middle of the area of natural interest of the Cadiretes Massif. A Mediterranean forest of stone pine and cork oaks, and with splendid views of the Mediterranean Sea.
Let yourself be pampered in a hotel with a spa
If what you really want is to enjoy a weekend of relaxation, tranquility and good food, the Park Hotel San Jorge (Platja d'Aro) and the Hotel Peralada Wine Spa & Golf (Peralada) will be fabulous. These two hotels on the Costa Brava offer spas to their clients, as well as different massages and wellness treatments to pamper yourself as you deserve.
The San Jorge hotel's water circuit includes a jacuzzi, a Finnish sauna and three sensation showers. In addition, it has a chill-out terrace open to two of the most famous coves in the area and where you can contemplate beautiful sunsets. For its part, the exclusive Peralada hotel offers a wine therapy spa that uses the properties of wine as a healthy treatment, just as it was done in the past.
Practice yoga or pilates in a cove on the Costa Brava
If you are one of those who like to get up early, you will know that there is nothing better than starting the day with a little exercise in the light of dawn. At that time, the coves of the Costa Brava have a special light, unmatched tranquility and a sea air that refreshes ideas.
Put a marigold in your weekend bag and plant it on your favorite beach. Close your eyes and breathe in the smell of the ocean waves and the pine trees. Yoga, pilates or even a simple meditation (mindfulness)... Everything counts when it comes to taking care of yourself; And if the landscape is good, even better!
Most of the beaches and coves on the Costa Brava are good for some healthy exercise or meditation. But if you want to accompany your yoga or Pilates session with a walk along the coastal paths, you will be able to reach very quiet coves, where you will find beauty and silence. A good example are: Cala Calís (Roses), Cala de Sa Tuna (Begur) Cala Montgó (L'Escala), Cala Sa Conca (S'agaró).
Precisely in front of Cala Montgó, you will find the Hotel Can Miquel, a beautiful family hotel, right on the beach, where you will enjoy the tranquility appropriate for a relaxing getaway on the Costa Brava. The coastal path passes next to the hotel so you can continue exploring the landscapes of the Costa Brava.
Have a healthy picnic in nature
Enter the Empordanet fields and dare to have a healthy and conscious picnic in its spectacular landscapes. The Empordanet is the area of the interior Empordà, more rural and authentic, where you will find landscapes of hills, farm fields of greenish and ocher colors and charming medieval towns (Monells, Peratallada, Madremanya, Pals...).
If you prefer to have everything organized, nutritionist Marta Romaní prepares conscious and healthy picnics in nature on her behalf. A nice gift to give to your partner, small group of friends or family. Can you imagine having a healthy breakfast or lunch in the middle of beautiful wheat fields?
Enjoy a concert at sea or a group mindfulness session
Would you like to do a group mindfulness session on the beaches of the Costa Brava? Or perhaps you would prefer to listen to a Tibetan gong concert while sailing through the waters of the Costa Brava? Both activities are organized by Edgar Tarrés, a specialist in health and well-being issues on the Costa Brava. Choose your healthy experience and enjoy!
