Annabella Pardo

As autumn hues paint the Mediterranean horizon, we unveil two gems that epitomize serenity and elegance: Teranka Formentera and Marbella Club. Nestled amidst the Mediterranean's pristine beauty, these destinations offer an unparalleled blend of luxury, wellness, and culture. Join us as we explore the art of wellness in the heart of the Mediterranean, where every moment promises relaxation, rejuvenation, and pure indulgence.

Teranka Formentera

Perfectly situated where the expanse of land, sea, and sky converge, Teranka Formentera, a new boutique hideaway, opened for its first full season this year and serves as an ideal destination to relax and connect with active relaxation and restoration.

Wellness-focused travelers will awaken their senses through integrative wellbeing offerings by following the natural rhythm and flow of Formentera through rituals and experiences.

Guests can dive into the ‘Essense of Flow’ luminary series led by health experts, awaken with the signature Teranka Ritual that offers a blend of botanical aromatherapy using seawater and sound harmonizing, uncover Migjorn’s crystalline shores through guided Botanical Walks, and watch the night sky come to life with Stargazing Evenings. Teranka has aligned with wellness pioneers OPO to bring a new and innovative way to drop into a greater state of wellbeing through guided meditations and carefully curated soundscapes with Formentera’s natural beauty.

Guests are invited to embark on this sound meditation journey with OPO to experience sunset rituals, stargazing sound baths, and guided meditations.

Marbella Club

With the hotel’s 70th anniversary approaching in April 2024, the world-renowned Andalusian beachfront resort, Marbella Club, has revealed a series of new wellness experiences designed to nurture a naturally healthy lifestyle that brings out one’s best self. Embracing a deeper connection with nature, the resort has recently introduced an adjacent finca – a tranquil outdoor oasis dedicated to relaxation and well-being, offering breathtaking views of the Concha Mountain and the Mediterranean Sea.

From a dedicated yoga platform to extended gardens, greenhouses and fruit trees, this wellness sanctuary is thoughtfully curated to facilitate self-renewal and the appreciation of nature's simple pleasures. Back at the resort, guest practitioners, resident naturopath nutritionists and spa therapists will guide guests through transformative and immersive experiences focusing on holistic wellness. Later in 2024, guests will be able to access curated soundscape meditations created by Chris Connors, a renowned wellbeing consultant and founder of app, OPO.

Guests can also partake in high-energy fitness programs, tailored wellness retreats, and play paddle tennis at the resort’s newest court, paying homage to the 1970’s when the Marbella Club became the birthplace and epicenter of paddle in Europe. Travelers can visit Thalasso Spa to revitalize their senses through a selection of healing treatments and rituals, including facial treatments from world-renowned aesthetician Dr. Barbara Sturm, massages, body therapies, thalassotherapy, and advanced holistic therapies, or rejuvenate through experiences like yoga, Pilates, and meditation.

Healthy eating will be found throughout the property with dedicated wellness dishes made with fresh produce from the property’s organic gardens. Guests have the opportunity to create their own Mediterranean dish through new hands-on culinary experiences that tap into various wellness themes, such as workshops and cooking demos at El Olivar led by Wellness Chef, Andrés Ruiz, that teach how to reduce inflammation, care for digestion, intermittent fasting, and holistic health. Travelers seeking a new classic menu can take a trip to Tarifa’s newly reopened family restaurant that’s served as an integral part of the destination’s gastronomic scene for decades, El Mirlo.
