About the location
Situated in the coastal town of Dénia, this luxury Pilates and spa short break offers a fantastic chance to relax and rejuvenate your body and mind in the glorious sunshine of the Alicante province.
The Pilates school is run by Graciela Kaplan who has over 13 years’ experience of teaching Pilates. Since retiring as principal ballerina at the UK’s Northern Ballet, Graciela has helped countless clients to achieve their physical and well-being goals. Specialising in post-op recovery, Grace is an active member of the Pilates Foundation and provides some of the highest standards in her field. Using her deep understanding of the body’s mechanics, she has helped clients to not only increase their strength and flexibility but also to alleviate a variety of problems and injuries, including back, neck and shoulder pain.
Graciela welcomes guests of all levels and physical abilities on her tailor made courses which she teaches in her custom-built studio on the outskirts of Dénia. Easily reached from Alicante airport (around 100km) and Valencia airport (around 120km), her studio is equipped with top-of-the-range equipment, including a Pilates Reformer machine and a wall unit, and is set among beautiful orange groves and peaceful private gardens.
Luxury accommodation is provided at the Dénia Marriott La Sella Golf Resort and Spa,. Graciela provides hassle-free transfers to her studio in her car which is just five to ten minutes’ drive from the hotel. The hotel is set at the foot of the spectacular Montgó National Park. Its large rooms include either a super king-size bed or two double beds and each have a balcony or terrace overlooking the national park, the hotel’s sweeping golf course or the outdoor pool.
On the ground floor of the hotel, there lies a world-class spa; a sanctuary dedicated to relaxation, well-being, health and beauty. This quiet and peaceful retreat boasts steam rooms, therapy baths, outside whirlpools, sensorial showers and a waterfall, as well as the latest and most indulgent optional treatments, including hydrotherapy, massages, facials, and body scrubs and wraps.
There is also a state-of-the-art fitness centre, offering fitness classes and counselling. And, if it is golf you are in to, there is also a top-class 27-hole golf course, designed by professional Spanish golfer José Maria Olazábal and considered to be one of the best golf courses in the entire Valencia region.
Guests can enjoy fine meals without having to leave the comfort of the resort at any of the hotel’s three restaurants. Amid cosy and rustic settings, or while enjoying views from the hotel’s romantic terrace, you’ll be able to dine on fantastic Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine and seasonal dishes. Furthermore, guests can unwind, catch up or enjoy live music in the lobby and jazz and blues bars or stretch out in the sunshine with an alfresco cocktail from the pool bar.
The hotel is calm and isolated but only a 10 minute drive from the friendly town of Dénia. This fishing town and gateway to the Balearic Islands is home to an impressive castle fortress which provides stunning views of the coast and town.
Benefitting from 322 days of sunshine a year, Dénia’s glorious 20-kilometre stretch of beaches is usually sun-drenched and provides fabulous conditions for water sports.
