Shanti-Som Wellbeing Retreat

From the moment my friend & I stepped through the door we were made to feel so welcome & nothing was too much trouble.
Each & every member of the staff, Spa therapists & yoga teacher were absolutely fantastic.
Everyone was so compassionate & clearly loved being part of the Shanti-Som family.
We made wonderful friends during our stay who we hope to see again one day. THANK YOU to the team & guests who enabled me to have the most memorable & luxurious treat to date.
Until the next time !

We celebrated my mum’s birthday here with a half day package, including private yoga, massage treatment, steam and sauna room and a delicious lunch.
The staff were extremely helpful in organising the day and making it extra special including a surprise birthday cake.
Thanks again for such a wonderful, memorable day.

This was without any doubt one of the best weeks I have spent on holiday. Every aspect was enjoyable and enriching. My rooms was comfortable, the food v v good as were the smoothies. Care by the excellent therapists who became like friends, was the best I have experienced. The reception also worked hard to accommodate all our chopping and changing with our personal schedules and were warm and smiley.

It was the perfect experience. The food was amazing and the yoga and meditation classes were fantastic! Between food and Sport you can relax in the sun near the pool or chat with others. There even is a meeting table for breakfast, lunch and dinner if you feel like getting to know the other participants! Great experience! Definitely won‘t be my last visit!

This was my first time on a retreat. I was quite nervous on arrival, However All of the team were amazing. I had bespoke treatment made by Anna Belen, thank you as you were brilliant to sort my programme out at such short notice
Fearn has such great knowledge.
The food was a delicious and so much variety.
The restaurant staff Clara, Manual, Juan are so kind. And the people I met at the group table which I thought I would never do were fabulous. The walls and hikes were stunning. My trainer Javier was great as I have a bad old back injury and made the classes enjoyable. Natalia in the yoga was so calming.
I have had a truly magical time. Typing this with a big smile! Thank you so much.

The retreat is in such an idyllic location, surrounded by lush green mountains with plenty of opportunities to go for hikes. The facilities are wonderful, from the warm and welcoming entrance with a fire lit to the beautiful restaurant with stunning views, to the calm and relaxing spa facilities. The gym is missing nothing. It was too cold to use the pool for me personally so I look forward to use it at my next visit earlier in the year! The room had everything I needed, although it did get pretty cold and very humid in there during my stay, especially after having a shower. I booked a yoga retreat and the program was well designed and flexible to move things around when I unluckily ended up having a cold. It would have been helpful to know what type of yoga is being taught in each session, to better adjust to it, especially being somewhat ill (ie. hatha vs. Yin or kundalini). The food was excellent, very healthy, super tasty and beautifully presented!
But the very best part of this entire stay was the STAFF! everybody was so welcoming, kind, understanding and personal. I truly have felt so looked after, it made my time at shanti-Som one to remember, although I couldn't use all facilities this time around! A special thanks to Susanna who was so very attentive and personal, and to Juan who always had a smile on his face!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wellness retreat hotel, and it was a rejuvenating experience for both mind and body. The serene atmosphere and thoughtful design of the facilities create a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

I had the opportunity to attend a sound healing meditation session with Vicky, and it was truly transformative. Her expertise and soothing guidance allowed me to reach a deep state of relaxation and inner peace. The combination of the beautiful surroundings and Vicky’s skillful meditation made my stay truly memorable.

I highly recommend this retreat for anyone seeking a holistic and calming getaway. The sound healing meditation with Vicky is a must-try, providing a unique and enriching experience that complements the overall wellness focus of this exceptional retreat.

This was my second trip to Shanti Som. Two of my sons accompanied me, and we had the most wonderful few days, relaxing in beautiful surroundings, enjoying exercise classes, swimming and superb pampering in the spa. A highlight was a hike with Nathalia in the nearby hills. The service is always excellent; Juan and Manuel do everything they can to make you feel at home. The food is uniformly, delicious and inventive. We can’t wait to go back!

I recently came for a day retreat with my girlfriend and without doubt we had the most wonderful experience: The beautiful natural environment, the stunning property and attention to detail and genuine service transported us into deep feelings of serenity and wellbeing.

The massages were excellent, as well as the food and yoga class.

We left Shanti Om on a natural high and can’t wait to come back and stay a bit longer next time.

Thank you very much.. that surpassed our expectations!

Thank you so so much for my perfect stay at your beautiful place Shanti-Som!
Thank you Juan, Manuel, Tony, Clara and the Cook for all the nice meals, drinks and the nice service, always with a smile!
Thanks Valentina for making my room the nicest one every day again! You even made time to make sure my favourite spot, the balcony, was dry and ready to use!
Thanks George for taking me out for a beautifull walk, Beatriz for my very relaxing massage and Alicia for the nice chat & smell session!
Thanks Ana Belen for the best fire place, the laughs, the nice chats and we will definately drink Coffee in Coín one day!!
Thanks Natalia for my great dancing meditation experience and last but definately not least, a big thank you to the two dutch ladies, Nathalie & Vicky for our very special sessions, talks and all the help you have offered me! 💚
I realy hope to be back one day and see all of you again!
I wish you all the best, take care & till we meet again!
Namasté

What an incredible oasis tucked away in the hillside.This was my first trip travelling solo and my second retreat experience .. I was embraced by the warmth and attentive hospitality of all the staff and therapists at ShantiSom . The food was incredible, ( the thai green curry a must ) and I had THE best massage and Reiki treatment .. a game changer ! The yoga classes were twice daily and Nathalie the instructor was just awesome .. I woke up excited to go. Lie by the pool amongst the vegetation and plant life in the hills and embrace the karma of this place. This is one of those places where just knowing it’s there to return to keeps you going in our chaotic lives .. see you again and again and again ShantiSom xx

This place is absolutely magical ✨ Surrounded by mountains and nature, you are able to recharge and disconnect in no time.
I’ve booked the yoga 🧘🏼‍♀ retreat with 2 classes per day and one meditation. Both teachers are lovely and take care of you throughout the practice.
The food is absolutely delicious 🤤 and the staff from the restaurant to the Spa super friendly.
If you’re looking for a retreat to recharge your batteries and relax in Europe, I totally can recommend.
I will for sure be back 😊 muchas gracias 🫶🏼

Had an amazing stay at the very peaceful Shanti som. This is the second visit and it's even better than the first time. The mattresses have been updated to be nice and firm. The food on offer was exceptional, delicious, wholesome, low carb. Manuel and tean really looked after the guests and made amazing green juices and ginger shots.
The yoga teachers Natalie, Aubrey, and another lady were fantastic, a mix of active and relaxing yoga.
Jorge, a former pro athlete, led the pilates and gym sessions which were in small groups of two, and as a result very targeted and effective. Yanara at reception made everything easy and homey.
Also had a very helpful nutritional session with Yolanda which inspired me to make improvements with my diet back home.
I even managed to lose two kilos during the week stay without feeling deprived. It's the perfect place to rest and reset your body and mind.

Shanti-Som is a little slice of paradise, a truly magical place! The staff seem to genuinely care about their guests. The food is amazing, every meal felt healthy and nutritionally balanced and yet delicious. The yoga teachers really explain each posture, and tiny adjustments, to help us get the most from it. The meditations were incredible and really eye-opening. The beauty treatments in the spa were also incredible.
My time at the retreat was amazing and I can't recommend it highly enough! It was just what i needed and I really hope to return one day.

An excellent recharge before the y/e chaos. Great setting, services and facilities. Personalised service a big plus; everyone knew us by name. Outstanding meals; very healthy, not boring.

To all staff,
As always yesterday was a lovely day and experience. We come every few months when we are over from the UK. We have been coming for over 10 years to have lunch and treatments. My wife Alison and I absolutely love Shonti Som and the staff. We have become very friendly with them as they are like family. Very welcoming, kind and the level of treatments is Very High. Also my daughters Chloe and Sophie when with us have treatments.
Kind Regards

Russell & Alison
Coming back next month for more of the same please.

This is my second visit to Shanti Som and it was just as amazing as my first visit. 3 days of total relaxation. Two hikes and lots of yoga and dinner every evening at the shared table made my visit as a solo traveler so enjoyable. Absolutely perfect in every way.

I had the best time at the Shanti-Som yoga retreat! It is located in a beautiful and peaceful location up in the mountains allowing me to switch off completely. The staff is incredible, they really made me feel at home. I not only enjoyed my yoga and meditation classes but also the amenities the retreat offers: gym, outside heated pool, and spa. All the compliments to the chef because the food was absolutely amazing. My time at Shanti-Som really allowed me to reset and relax. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough!

What an amazing experience!

Im leaving feel relaxed and refreshed.

The staff are so lovely, they know you by name and always ask how you are but it's not intrusive.

I have never done yoga before this holiday and I really enjoyed it. I liked the yoga and meditation best by Natalie. She is so spiritual, and gets the whole group involved if you wish to input. I have learnt so much from her.

The food was amazing from breakfast through to evening meal.
There is a shared table every day for solo travellers, this is a fabulous idea and I met some great people through this.

It's a paradise in the Marbella mountains, so quiet, serene and beautiful. The staff is so caring and lovely, all of them!
I traveled by myself, which I normally never do, and it felt like a warm bath! I definitely will come back!
The combination of pilates-yoga-meditation, the incredible food, the swimming pool.. it was a experience I will never forget! Thank you so much!! xxx
