Finca Sanuela
Make room for a more open heart
On Tenerife’s south-east coast, Finca Sanuela makes room for meditation, personal reflection and the kind of open-hearted connection that can be hard to find in everyday life. Retreats bring together inner-growth themes and time in tranquil surroundings, with sunrise over the sea and regional plants adding a strong sense of place. Nils is named as a guide, and the practice topics include meditation and spirituality. Food may be fasting or mostly raw, with green smoothies, fruit, mixed vegetables and fermented porridge; brown rice, quinoa or sweet potatoes may also be included. Dietary needs can be accommodated, with vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free options listed. The finca has a kitchen, Wi-Fi, towels, tea and coffee, and free parking. Retreats are paid, with prices starting at EUR 660. Come for a retreat shaped around reflection and connection, rather than a tightly prescribed meditation tradition.
