BEACH VIEW!

Luxury Hotel

We're staying at Hotel AC Gava Mar, a stone throw from the beach and within 15 minutes from the city. Enjoy a relaxing stay with a beach view, a great restaurant and a gorgeous pool.

Luxury, Sightseeing & Fitness

I plan my retreat exactly like how I would travel myself. I enjoy amazing food (obviously important!!), I explore and dive into the local culture and of course... I workout.

I get help to plan these retreats from my fiance Ras as well as a great team. We also have help from the locals to make sure we find all the hidden gems as well as the must-see attractions.

Local CrossFit Gym

We've planned 4 gym workouts + a yoga session throughout the week. Personally I might squeeze in an extra run session or two and you're more than welcome to join me here as well.

It's important to mention that you DO NOT have to participate in every session. You're welcome to join as much or as little as you want depending on what you want to get out of it.

AND all levels are welcome! We'll have plenty of coaches to make sure you'll have a great training session regardless if you're just starting out or at a high fitness level.
