We hope the week with us keeps giving, leaving you refreshed, inspired, and encouraged. Read on to see what our guests say about us.
SIMPLY PERFECT The best experience you can expect from a yoga and pilates retreat. The organisation of the activities is perfect, the facilities are well looked after and the rooms are comfortable and spotlessly clean. The best thing, without a doubt, is the food, it is 100% homemade and spectacular, with a very carefully selected menu and an extremely attentive staff that takes care of you day by day. As for the yoga and pilates classes, they adapt to all levels, the teachers are very professional and attentive and willing to help each student improve, with personalised attention if you need it. Everyone who works there is committed to making the week a pleasant experience for all participants. I am very grateful to have been able to live this one week experience, I am looking forward to coming back.

Perfect retreat-highly recommend What a wonderful retreat in beautiful calm location! You receive a warm welcome from everyone- including the friendliest kitty Churro from the moment you arrive. All the meals were incredibly delicious, healthy and prepared with love. Experienced yoga teachers Lindsey and Charlotte made every class truly enjoyable, fun, relaxing and challenging. Jo is just The best pilates teacher and I really enjoyed her varied classes especially pilates on reformers.I would highly recommend booking a treatment with amazing therapists Johanna and Mari. Thank you Johanna for realigning my back! My back&shoulder pain is finally gone and I feel great.
It was so wonderful to see that all 7 friendly kitties on site are well looked after by Paul the site manager and they made our stay truly memorable. As Paul said Azulfit is also a cat sanctuary! 😊🐾💕 thank you everyone for unforgettable experience 💕 I look forward to coming back soon.

A week of total relaxation in a small paradise.. What an amazing week I had at Azulfit. Such a small paradise near the small and quiet village of Villaverde. It was my first time on Fuerteventura and the island really stole my heart. We were with a group of 9, likeminded and lovely people which created an harmonious atmosphere. This combined with the love all of the staff are putting into the yoga and pilates practices (Charlotte, Jo and Lindsey are so complimentary and sensitive to all levels and needs of the participants), the food (Jo’s recipes are really nutritious and tasty, and I had quite some dietary requests, but it was totally not an issue to adjust meals especially for me by the sweet kitchen team), and of course the lovely guest/hospitality team, housekeeping, and maintenance. I will surely come back for more.. Thank you all! ❤️read more

A fabulous retreat – Highly recommend I’m so glad I made the decision to go on this retreat! It’s that perfect combination of being looked after by all the wonderful staff and teachers but there’s also plenty of time to do your own thing, whether that’s exploring or chilling by the pool; it’s healthy but you never lack in food or are compromised on taste (the food was amazing); it’s sociable (the people on my retreat were all wonderful) but you can also choose to take time to yourself whenever you want and I was in bed by 9 most nights!; there’s plenty of exercise but it’s balanced so it doesn’t feel too daunting and there’s no obligation to do it. My massage and the oil workshops were also fantastic. I went solo and it was a great retreat to go to on your own to if you’re looking for a solo break. My only advice is to take plenty of cash as most taxis, massages and extra things require cash! I will definitely try to return – I felt fantastic and re-energised after week there!read more

Above expectations I went here with my boyfriend, everything was above expectations. Great pilates and yoga classes available at every level. The food was served 3 times a day, it was excellent, vegetarian with only fresh products. The staff from Azulfit is working with a lot of passion and knowledge about health and yoga/ meditation etc. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️read more

Fantastic retreat with everything you need to relax This was my first time at Azulfit, but it won’t be my last, for sure. I went by myself, hoping for some switch-off time, with no schedule other than making it in time for breakfast each day.The people who worked there were all very friendly and helpful. The group of people on the retreat were a mix of solo travellers like me, and groups of friends. Everyone was lovely, and happy to chat, which meant we all had any quiet time we needed, while also you get the opportunity to meet some cracking company.
The food was outstanding; all so fresh, nutritious, and I ended up eating such a greater variety of food than I normally do. One night group of us went out for dinner locally and for wine which was lovely too.
I stayed in one of the Ganesha rooms – the one with the en-suite – and loved its cool, calming design and quiet aspect. Heavenly.
Last but not least – the classes. Both the yoga and the pilates were fantastic. The instructors were encouraging and, as someone who had not tried a lot of different yoga styles before, really opened my eyes to different forms – one that I fell in love with.
In terms of getting out of the retreat, I was happy walking to the village, and to a bus stop, and fine without a car. I liked being able to get about by myself, and practise some of my very rusty Spanish in the process! I would recommend doing the crater walk – Calderon Hondo – which is not far.
All in all, I think Azulfit really delivers on peace, food, people, exercise and atmosphere. Planning my next trip out as I type!

Amazing experience to recharge your batteries A wonderful retreat to unwind from everyday stress, to relax and recharge your batteries.I came back beginning of march (my second time in Azulfit) and it feels a bit like “coming home” again; to this nice place and warm yoga “family”.
The yoga – and pilates lessons are managed by top instructors, the massages are very professional and they take individual care of you.
The homemade vegetarian food is so fresh, healthy and after all: delicious!
It’s a perfect calm location in the North of Fuerteventura, surrounded of many nice and smiling people.
After only one week; your stability, energy and positivity is increasing a lot.
I will come back next year 😊
Namaste 🙏🏻

Best pilates retreat Azulfit is my happy and more place. I’ve been twice and I will certainly go again many times. The second time I did the pilates-only retreat and it was one of my best experiences in 2023. The food is incredibly delicious (mostly all vegan and they even made me extra bread to go gluten-free). Jo is the best pilates teacher and so much more. She encouraged me to challenge my body. Everyone at Azulfit – from the cleaning staff to the site manager – takes so much effort in making everything to your preferences. Best teachers, best food, best everything.read more

Perfect Stay at Azulfit’s Surya Retreat My stay at Azulfit was absolutely perfect, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind from the demands of everyday life. The resort is stunning and impeccably maintained. The yoga and pilates instructors accommodate all levels, offering a diverse range of classes infused with an incredible amount of positive energy. Not being very experienced in yoga and pilates myself, I now feel much more confident in my practice after the retreat. And, of course, the food is superb. The kitchen team prepares a variety of meals with great passion, and I took home some inspiring ideas to continue my commitment to a healthy lifestyle. I am deeply grateful for the wonderful and rejuvenating time I spent at Azulfit, as well as for the fantastic people I had the pleasure of meeting. I will definitely return!read more

For all Pilates lovers ! Had an amazing week focused on the benefits of pilates, sun and veggie food. In addition to the regular classes, I booked 4 additional reformer classes which were a real discovery for me and really helped me improve my pilates practice. Thanks to Jo for the great guidance ! The schedule leaves enough time for excursions to the neighbouring towns of Lajares, El Cotillo and Corralejo. The team is very caring and will help you in finding your way around the island, booking taxis, finding walking paths or hidden bus stops 😉 The rooms are cosy and built in the traditional architecture which adds to the warm atmosphere on site. Special kudos go to the kitchen team for preparing three diverse, veggie meals a day, often with local produce. I only missed some black tea in the choice of teas available at all times for an even better experience. During meal times the weekly group mingled nicely but everyone was also free to roam around the site and island without peer pressure. To sum it up: a great experience I would totally recommend !read more

Everything you could ask for
We went to Azulfit in 2018 and returned for our second visit last week. It’s a real treat for your mind and body. Lovely location, super helpful staff, beautiful accommodation and fantastic healthy food. The yoga and Pilates classes were brilliant. The instructors are knowledgeable, caring and fun. For added luxury there are massages and therapy treatments available plus guidance on nutrition, mindful mediation etc. This retreat is definitely worth visiting.

Relaxing, rejuvenating, replenishing
This is my second visit this year to Azulfit and I couldn’t recommend it enough. It’s a wonderful combination of a beautiful environment, expert instructors. Lovely accommodation and delicious healthy food. There’s time to chill by the pool or to explore some of the island. And it’s all served up with an abundance of love and kindness. If you’d like to give your mind, body and soul a recharge with likeminded people I would look no further.

einzigartig!
mein aufenthalt im azulfit ging 5 tage (dauer eines retreats) ... leider nur 5 tage ... ab der ankunft am flughafen in fuerteventura bis zu meiner abreise hatte ich eine sensationelle zeit auf der insel ... der shuttleservice mit miro (organisiert von azulfit) ist top und sehr kurzweilig und ein sehr schöner start – wenn man vor allem das erste mal auf der insel ist ... der empfang von alice und erika im retreat ist sehr herzlich und ich hab mich sofort willkommen gefühlt ... die trainerinnen (jo, charlotte + eline) sind mehr als großartig ... extrem motivierend&inspirierend ... die trainingseinheiten sind perfekt für die dauer des retreats aufgebaut ... die unterbringungen in den einzelnen zimmern/hütten/casas sind sehr individuell gestaltet und wunderschön eingerichtet ... immer frische blumen, handtücher, tägliches leeren der mülleimer etc. ... der service der zimmer sowie der ganzen anlage (pool, jacuzzi, außenanlagen, etc.) leistet hier ganze arbeit ... ebenso hervorzuheben ist das extrem leckere und vor allem gesunde und abwechslungsreiche essen ... hinzu kommen noch die unterschiedlichen möglichkeiten von massagen, einzelbehandlungen (danke johanna), ernährungsworkshops (danke jo!) etc. ... alle im retreat waren immer hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend, was die aktivitäten außerhalb des retreats anbelangt (katamaran-ausflug, restaurantbesuche usw.) ... defintiv eine rundum gelungene woche ... und ich freue mich schon sehr auf meinen nächsten aufenthalt im azulfit ... DANKE für diese tolle zeit bei Euch und mit Euch ... Ihr seid ALLE großartig im azulfit ...
