Whether it’s the classic „exercise more” or „eat healthier,” very few people stick with their resolutions1 for more than a month or two.2 Priorities shift and life gets in the way. But do we have to wait until New Year’s to change our lifestyles and treat ourselves well?
Not at all, according to the OCÉANO Health Spa Hotel in Tenerife. The team is welcoming travelers to discover a special retreat in the tranquil north of the island – with an exceptional health spa, light Mediterranean cuisine, and Canarian specialties, and a varied relaxation and exercise program. Complete with views of the Atlantic Ocean and fresh sea breezes.
Active Recreation at the OCÉANO Health and Wellness Hotel
The OCÉANO is a haven of tranquility, frequented mainly by singles and couples. Relaxation is the top priority. The health and wellness team offers massages and beauty treatments, as well as thalassotherapy, physiotherapy, personal training, and healthy diets, all are much appreciated by guests.
If desired, visitors can book one of the spa’s health programs. They range from weight control, which focuses on proper healthy nutrition and exercise, to beauty treatments.
Thalasso Therapy: the Power of the Sea
Algae, seawater, salt, and mud – the sea offers everything you need for total relaxation. Especially popular: Ocean Balancing, an aqua massage and movement therapy in the 34-degree Thalasso pool. Sea salt scrubs, seaweed, mud body wraps, and, of course, exercises in the fresh sea air are also available. The gentle „Awakening by the Sea” workout takes place each morning on the yoga rooftop terrace, where participants start the day actively outdoors.
Fasting Stay in Tenerife
A complete reset is also possible at OCÉANO. The adjacent F. X. Mayr Center offers year-round detox treatments using the Franz Xaver Mayr Method, which combines naturopathic therapy with modern fasting. An experienced team of physicians guides guests through the fasting cure and tailors treatments to their individual needs. The F.X. Mayr cure has been particularly effective for stress-related fatigue, high blood pressure, weight problems, immune deficiencies, allergies, and sleep disorders.
With such a regimen, you interrupt your daily habits for a couple of weeks and give your body the chance to reactivate its self-healing powers.
Sustainability at the Hotel (and beyond)
One resolution more and more people are making is to live more sustainably. And that includes travel. The hotel’s philosophy includes respect for nature and its resources, as well as sustainable, regenerative, and preventive health care.
The preservation and modernization of the hotel is another aspect of the OCÉANO’s commitment to sustainability. Only last year, the hotel received an award for its sustainable, energy-efficient renovation of the 1970s building. The 2019 modernization used natural and environmentally friendly materials and technologies while paying attention to a modern yet timeless design.
The hotel also focuses on sustainability down to the smallest details. Each guest receives a reusable water bottle for their stay and several water dispensers throughout the hotel offer complimentary filtered water. Products for the hotel kitchen are sourced primarily from the local market or neighboring farms (such as the goat milk products). And for wine lovers, a variety of local wines are available from traditional vineyards, some dating back centuries.
Air Travel vs. Sustainability
For most people, there is no alternative to flying to Tenerife, so a longer stay is recommended to minimize your carbon footprint. Once you arrive, the diverse island invites you to travel in an eco-conscious way, offering not only the diverse landscapes but also the special culture of the Canary Islands. The well-developed public transport system makes it easy for travelers to explore the island and its attractions in an eco-friendly way.
What’s more, staying longer allows for a more sustainable investment in your well-being. The „stress” of trying to do as much as possible in a short time is replaced by a sense of arrival and relaxation. For this reason, OCÉANO guests benefit from special rates for stays of 7 days or more, such as Sunshine Days. In addition, all stays of 21 days or more (outside of promotional periods) benefit from a 5% long-term discount, which can be combined with a 10% early bird discount if booked in time.
Summer, Sun, Sea, and Health
Resolutions can be made later in the year. With ocean air and sunshine, it’s easier to get motivated for a morning yoga session and a few laps in the pool before breakfast. And it’s easier to establish routines away from the daily grind. When you return from the island fresh and rejuvenated, it’s easier to stick with your new habits.
