Sharanam Retreats

We are located in a house at the edge of a small fishing village located directly at where the forest starts and only one steps down to reach the beautiful natural port with small traditional fishing boats. Every day you can see the fishermen repairing nets and selling fish in the main harbour building.
The area is great for hiking, cycling, stand-up paddle, kayak, boat tours, climbing, bird watching. There is a famous and very nice market in the main village of Santanyi, at cycling distance (or bus). The nearest beach is at 5min cycling or a 30min stunningly beautiful cliff walk.
Also very nearby is the nature reserve of Parque Natural Mondrago.
In summer we take our guests often to a local outdoor music venue at the famous beach of Es Trenc.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, fruits, and snacks are included in the Sharanam retreats. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free food is always available. Doby, the chef, is a vegetarian and world food specialist. He can tell you a lot about healthy alternatives and creative cooking at home. Fresh fruit smoothies, home-baked bread, home-made marmalade’s, hummus, and tapas are among the daily delights. For human and planet we advocate healthy variation and home cooked food, as much local and as much organic as possible. We love cooking and aim to inspire others to eat healthy creative food. We hope people learn more about the preparation, the ingredients and effects of what they eat on their well being. We do not generally promote any long term strictness in dieting, except for people with serious allergies. A diet can be good for testing your reactions to certain nutritional ingredients, but learning to balance is key. Joy is also a very important ingredient for health! In the preface of ‘Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body’s Most Underrated Organ’ Giulia Enders asks herself and all medics why it is that so little information is shared about the importance of nutrition and digestion. And why the heart and the brain seem to be valued much higher in medical education while in an embryo the first main systems to develop are the brain, the heart ánd the gut. We offer juice detox and detox-light combined with any of the retreat packages. The detox-light program is a bit less serious than a week with only juices and has easy-to-learn cooking ideas. For many, it is already a detox leaving meat, alcohol, sugar, heavy food, and heavy old mind-patterns behind. When detoxing, at least a 30-minute walk or swim per day is advised, besides the daily 90-minute yoga classes. Most days, a guided walk will be offered. Feel free to choose between juices or this much lighter version depending on your needs. The juice detox consists of six days (out of eight) with only juice, tea, and water intake. On booking, you will receive instructions for home preparation, for one week before, and build up suggestions for till one week after the retreat. The juice detox is great for heightening your awareness and observing your emotional relationship to food. It is also an excellent first step towards change. So if you want to change unhealthy habits it can be your motivator. The juice detox in itself is not meant for weight loss. You may lose 3 kilos but if you don’t change your relationship to food/alcohol/drugs/medication then a juice detox is a temporary cleanse. Good, but it’s up to you to make more of it. We will offer all the support you need with massage, yoga, breath work and coaching/therapy around your patterns.
