Begin the day with a guided wellness session followed by breakfast at the hotel. Today’s highlight is a bespoke private island exploration for your group. Adventure at your own pace, you might forest bathe in moss-covered woods, descend into volcanic lava caves, breathe mineral-rich air near sulfur fumaroles, or simply soak in the island’s grounding energy.

Later, visit natural lava pools to swim, meditate on sun-warmed stones, or take in the Atlantic views. Enjoy a thoughtfully prepared picnic lunch in nature before returning to the hotel for gentle afternoon yoga. In the evening, relax over a Paella Night dinner at the hotel.
