Harmony Home Wellness

FIRST CLASS

Nestled in the rural idyll of Andalusia and surrounded by a vast olive grove, Harmony Home Wellness is a haven of peace and relaxation. The exclusive boutique retreat accommodates a maximum of 6 guests at a time, creating a highly personal atmosphere with individual care. The wellness offerings, with authentic Ayurveda treatments and soothing massages, support holistic well-being. Located at the foot of the impressive Monte Maroma and Sierra Tejeda National Park, the retreat is also a perfect starting point for hiking, cycling, and nature experiences.

Harmony Home Wellness is located in the charming mountain village of Alcaucín in the pristine region of Axarquía in eastern Andalusia. Surrounded by the stunning mountain landscapes of the Sierra de Tejeda Natural Park, numerous hiking and cycling trails invite you to active explorations, including routes to the highest peak of the Málaga province, Monte Maroma. Just about a 10-minute drive away is the picturesque Viñuela Reservoir, while the extensive beaches of Torre del Mar and Vélez-Málaga are about 25 minutes away and are ideal for a relaxing day trip to the sea. Visits to the typical white Andalusian villages such as Canillas de Aceituno, Nerja, or Frigiliana with their winding alleys, quaint cafés, and regional specialties are also worthwhile. The vibrant provincial capital, Málaga, with its historic old town, the Picasso Museum, numerous restaurants, and shopping opportunities is about 50 minutes away. Granada with the world-famous Alhambra and historic Antequera are only about an hour's drive away and are excellent for a day trip. Málaga Airport is also approximately 60 minutes away.

The cuisine combines the principles of Ayurvedic dietary science with Mediterranean influences. The predominantly vegetarian dishes promote gut health and are served according to Ayurvedic dietary guidelines. The nutritional concept is complemented by adhering to Ayurvedic eating rules, such as avoiding drinking water during meals. Fresh, gut-friendly, and nutrient-rich dishes support metabolism and overall well-being. Aromatic herbs and spices are carefully used according to Ayurvedic principles to aid digestion and enhance the flavour of meals. A large portion of the herbs, fruits, and vegetables come from the hotel's own organic garden or are seasonally sourced from local producers. Depending on the season, dishes are enriched with beetroot, kale, fennel, zucchini, pumpkin, and broccoli. Each dish is a surprise, a delight, and a moment of empowerment. Gluten-free, vegan, and lactose-free options are available (upon prior request). For an additional charge (approx. 50€ / day (approx. UK £44 / USD $54)): Paleo and protein diets, as well as diets requiring the preparation of separate meals, are available.

At the heart of our services are mindful touch, conscious care, and soothing relaxation. Our wellness offerings combine authentic Ayurvedic treatments such as Abhyanga, Swedana, Shirodhara, and Basti with classic massages, including deep tissue massages, fascia treatments, and soothing back massages. All treatments are performed by experienced and empathetic therapists with great care. They help to relieve tension, strengthen inner balance, and realign body and mind. Only high-quality organic oils are used, including cold-pressed olive oil produced on-site. For the Ayurvedic treatments, authentic healing oils and selected herbal essences are also used. Massages are part of the wellness packages and are available daily, except on arrival and departure days. Additional treatments can be booked at the hotel at any time subject to availability. The wellness offerings are complemented by an infrared sauna (November to April) and a saltwater pool (May to October).

Enjoy the quaint outdoor gym and exercise in the fresh air amidst nature. Yoga classes are suitable for all levels and are tailored to the individual needs and abilities of participants. The diverse offerings include Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga nidra, Sound Yoga, and Meditation. Please bring comfortable clothing suitable for yoga, hiking, and swimming depending on the season. Comfortable slippers/sandals are also recommended, as the retreat spans several buildings and shoes must be removed in some areas, such as the yoga studio.

Discover the stunning nature of Andalusia in various ways. Together with our partner "Hipica El Molinillo", you can experience the picturesque landscape around Alcaucín through guided horseback rides or individual riding lessons. The routes wind through forests, past olive groves, and offer magnificent views of the surrounding mountains. The idyllic hiking and walking trails of the Sierras de Tejeda y Alhama Natural Park also invite you to take relaxing breaks. Many trails start right at the retreat or are just a few minutes away.
