Discover Your Perfect Day with Us
8:00 am
Good morning
There’s something truly magical about waking up here: the light spilling over the hills, the air carrying just a hint of the sea, and time itself gently slowing down. Step outside, take a deep breath, and simply let the day unfold.
8:30 am
Yoga in the garden
They say the best way to greet the day is to greet yourself first – and we couldn’t agree more.
Here, mornings begin with gentle yoga beneath the Andalusian sky, the sun softly warming your skin while the breeze drifts with the scent of orange blossoms. No rush, no rules – just you, your breath, and the quiet joy of a new day unfolding.
9:30 am
Grab some fruits
After yoga, stroll into the garden and let your senses guide you. Sun-kissed oranges, figs still warm from the morning light, or a handful of grapes straight from the vine – nature’s own breakfast, waiting just for you.
10:00 am
Breakfast bei the pool
From 9:00 to 10:30, wake up to the smell of fresh coffee, crusty bread, and sizzling bacon as the morning sun spills over the mountains. Slow, easy, and delicious – from homemade jams and Andalusian tostadas to freshly squeezed orange juice – breakfast is your time to linger, savour, and decide: eggs, with or without bacon?
11:30 am
Visit Mojácar Pueblo
When the mood takes you, trade poolside calm for a touch of Andalusian charm. Wander cobbled streets lined with whitewashed houses, linger over coffee in a sunlit plaza, or lose yourself among markets and tiny, little shops. Here, every corner whispers a story – and you’re free to follow whichever one captures your heart.
2:00 pm
Poolside Lunch
Some days are made for doing nothing: a quiet splash in the pool, a good book in the shade, and maybe a light Andalusian lunch if the mood strikes. Fresh salads, cold soups, or a small selection of tapas – simple, local, and perfect for when you’re too relaxed to move.
4:00 pm
wellbeing & pool time
Slip into the cool water, feel the sun on your skin, and soak up the gentle hum of the afternoon. Drift for a while, stretch out with a book – however you spend it, the hours here slip by effortlessly.
6:00 pm
Massage
Let the world slip away for a while. In the serene calm of our massage room, warm hands melt away the last traces of tension, the scent of essential oils fills the air, and your mind drifts somewhere between wakefulness and dreams. When you open your eyes again, the day feels softer – and so do you.
