Settle into the stunning breathtaking surrounds of Can Terrades, our hidden sanctuary nestled in the Pyrenean foothills and enjoy an ice cold beverage as you get to know your fellow wellness guests.

RELAX & REJUVENATE

Whilst the riders head out for the prologue, our wellness guests will gently stretch into the weekend with a yoga session focusing on posture and breathing techniques. Relax, unwind and enjoy some tranquillity in the dedicated yoga studio, bathed in the beautiful light, with views over the estate and surrounding hills, it's a truly magical place to roll out a mat whilst getting to know your wellness group.

You then might like to have a quick dip. The lodge has two pools: one larger pool for swimming lengths surrounded by a beautiful patio to relax in the sun or read your book on a lounger, and a smaller pool overlooking the vineyards if you fancy a refreshing plunge.

ENERGISE

Recharge with a final yoga session of the weekend, followed by a last session in the infra-red sauna. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas don’t heat the air around you. They use infrared lamps which warm your body directly. Better sleep, relieving sore muscles, detoxifying the body and improved circulation are just a few of the fantastic health benefits of a session in the infrared sauna.
