Sport Hotel Monte Feliz - powered by Playitas – The Canary Islands' Best Retreat Venue for Groups

The Active Retreat Venue Gran Canaria Gets Right

Not every retreat needs to be silent and still. Some groups want active relaxation, morning hikes, afternoon spa sessions, and evenings with good food and real conversation.

Sport Hotel Monte Feliz – powered by Playitas is the retreat venue Gran Canaria groups keep coming back to. Tucked into the hills of southern Gran Canaria, this family-run hotel combines sporty facilities with genuine warmth. You won’t find sterile conference rooms here. Instead you’ll find a saltwater pool surrounded by bougainvillea, a wellness area for unwinding, and easy access to dramatic coastal scenery.

Whether you’re planning a yoga retreat, a team building getaway, or a mindfulness weekend, Monte Feliz works for all of them. In this venue spotlight, we’ll show you exactly why retreat organizers keep choosing it, and why Vigeo Retreats has made it one of our most recommended venues in Spain.

1. Location and Scenery: Southern Gran Canaria’s Charm

Monte Feliz sits near the town of Bahía Feliz, a quiet area known for its black sand beaches and sunny microclimate. The hotel is perched on a gentle hill, offering views of the Atlantic Ocean and the mountains behind. The surrounding landscape is volcanic but lush, with palm trees and flowering shrubs.

It’s a short drive from Maspalomas dunes and the lively Playa del Inglés, yet far enough away to feel genuinely peaceful. This balance, close to amenities yet secluded enough to disconnect, makes it one of the most sought-after retreat venues in Gran Canaria for groups of all sizes.

2. Facilities for Non-Sport Retreats

While Monte Feliz is known for sports, it is equally suited for wellness and team retreats. The saltwater pool has sun loungers and a poolside bar. The wellness and recuperation area includes a sauna, ice bath, and massage room, everything a group needs to recover and reconnect after a full day.

The lush gardens have shaded seating areas perfect for meditation or reading between sessions. There is a conference room for workshops or group discussions that can be set up with yoga mats. The restaurant serves Canarian and international cuisine with vegetarian and vegan options available for every meal.

3. Ideal for Yoga and Mindfulness Getaways

The hotel’s signature Pink Platform is a 205 square metre outdoor yoga and Pilates space, complete with mats and wireless headsets for up to 30 guests at a time. Sunrise yoga sessions here, with Atlantic Ocean views as your backdrop, are genuinely unlike anything you will find at a standard retreat venue in Gran Canaria.

After a day of hiking or workshops, your group can unwind in the sauna or book a sports massage. The family-run atmosphere means staff go out of their way to accommodate special requests, from arranging a cacao ceremony to organising a private dinner under the stars, nothing feels too much to ask.

4. Easy Logistics for Retreat Organizers

Gran Canaria Airport is just 15 minutes away by transfer, making arrivals and departures simple for international groups. The hotel offers group rates and can arrange excursions to Roque Nublo, Maspalomas dunes, or the old town of Las Palmas, adding cultural depth to any retreat itinerary.

Vigeo Retreats handles all booking and support for organizers, including marketing and customer service, at no cost to you. You focus on delivering the experience. We take care of everything else, making this retreat venue in Gran Canaria one of the most genuinely stress-free options available.
