The suite has an open-plan bedroom, a small single bedroom, an outdoor roof terrace, a kitchenette, and a large ensuite bathroom. This room is perfect for couples, a family of three, or two friends traveling together.
Santa Fe room
This experience is themed after the artistic mountain town of Santa Fe, New Mexico, a town with beautiful energy, much like Fuerteventura. Santa Fe is a wellbeing haven, and you will feel this the moment you step in through the door. The room is decorated with the southwest charm that makes so many feel at home there.
With views of the coast, this large, light space is a lovely place to spend your holidays in. There is a large, comfortable double bed, allowing the room to sleep one or two.
Bali room
The sacred temples, beauty, and mystery of Bali provide the perfect setting for a wellbeing journey. The beauty of the land and the kindness of the people provided inspiration for this bright and comfortable space. You can rest, reflect, meditate, and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of the villa in this room.
The room is on the main level, with a garden view and shared bath. There are two single beds, which can be made up as a double in this lovely space.
California room
The good hospitality and great vibes of the American West Coast provided the theme for this cozy option. A private space with a shared bath is a nice option for those on a budget. There is a window in the California room that opens into the hallway in front of the yoga shala. The hallway opens up directly to the outside, so there is a fresh breeze coming in.
There are no windows in the room facing directly outside. The room is on the base level, which keeps it cool in temperature in the warmer months.
Little India apartment
Traveling to exotic India may be a bit much for just a week, but stay with Villa Azul and complete your yogic experience by surrounding yourself with the sights and colors of this beautiful land. This bright apartment has a bedroom, an ensuite, a lounge with a sofa and dining table, a kitchenette, and a garden terrace.
The beds can be made up as a double or as two single beds, so the room is perfect for solo travelers, couples, and friends traveling together.
Canarias apartment
The Canary Islands have a unique charm, which you can discover by traveling a little off the beaten path. From volcanoes and lunar landscapes to subtropical forests and deserted beaches, the islands are a place to restore yourself to nature.
This spacious apartment has two private bedrooms, a lounge, and a pool terrace and garden. Suitable for four guests, it is a great way to meet other like-minded people or for groups traveling together. Please note that due to the shared nature of this accommodation option, the rooms at the apartment can only be booked by female guests.
Program
This yoga retreat offers you so much more than inspirational Tai chi classes in the wooden retreat shala and vibrant vegetarian meals with like-minded people. It also offers a holistic massage and therapies. It is a unique retreat experience. It is about feeling so special, and Villa Azul will be your true home and wellbeing paradise.
Fuerteventura always invites you to the silence and tranquility for a deep, calm heart. Just breathe deep and listen as nature takes you on a deep meditation, dreaming awake.
Classes
Let Tai chi and the Canarian sunshine revive your spirit. Tai chi is a healthy alternative focusing on promoting a healthier, happier, and more balanced life for people of all ages and fitness levels. With two daily sessions of Tai chi, Qigong, and Taoist yoga, you will be guided lovingly and patiently towards a new sense of wellbeing.
This therapeutic form of exercise and meditation will help to alleviate a general feeling of "world weariness." The word "stress" will gradually fade from your vocabulary. And, you will still have time to enjoy the pleasures that the sun and sea have to offer.
You will practice the Yang Shao Hou style. This form has 108 movements, but the team has split it into three parts so that you can learn it better. The teaching method is the same as what Tai Chi Fuerteventura Wellbeing Retreat's instructor's master from China learned from his grandmaster.
This education system has gone from generation to generation until today, and you are fortunate to be able to learn it more than 500 years later.
The sessions will be taught by first-class, certified teachers. Find your perfect wellness retreat program there and immerse yourself in the nature of Fuerteventura!
Enjoy Yang Tai chi and Taoist yoga with Qigong classes every day. It is time to focus on yourself and lay the groundwork for higher spiritual work. Welcome to your home!

Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura is one of the seven islands of the Canarian archipelago. It emerges from the Atlantic Ocean as a desert surrounded by sand dunes formed by the winds that bring sand from the Sahara, forming fantastic dunes.
Its turquoise waters, its splendid white sand beaches, and the contrast with its volcanic landscapes make this island very special. Its main attractions are Lobos Island, Jadía Natural Park, Betancuria, Tindaya Mountain, and windmills.
Located 97 kilometers from the northwest coast of Africa, the island of Fuerteventura, with 13 protected natural spaces, enhances its exoticism with palm trees and the appreciated aloe vera. Its kilometers of sandy beaches and golden dunes make life on the island a real privilege.
Declared a Biosphere Reserve and Starlight Reserve for the entire island territory, it has a huge protected area where you can discover authentic tranquility.
