One-Day Retreat:
Paradise Called,
It Wants You to Chill

Need a proper pause without hopping on a plane? On 30 November, we’re heading to Finca La Suerte Grande in Telde — a tucked-away paradise where the grass is greener, the air feels softer, and the only deadline is when lunch is served.

From 11:00 to 18:00, you’ll ease into yoga with Sasha, share a wonderful lunch with delicious food, dip into the pool, and let the finca’s green surroundings do their thing. A whole day outdoors, stretching, enjoying, and taking it easy. You’ll head home glowing from the sun, pleasantly tired, and feeling like you actually made the most of your Sunday.

We Found Paradise.
It’s Called Finca La Suerte Grande

Tucked into the Telde countryside, Finca La Suerte Grande is about as close to a hidden oasis as you’ll find on Gran Canaria. One step inside the gates and it feels like you’ve slipped into another world — quieter, greener, softer around the edges. There’s a pool sparkling in the sun that practically dares you not to jump in, gardens that roll out in every direction, and more shades of green than you thought possible on one island.

It’s the kind of place where time does that wonderful trick of slowing down. Your phone suddenly feels less important, your shoulders finally drop, and even the air seems fresher, cleaner, lighter. Within minutes, you’re calmer. By the time you’re stretched out on the grass or floating lazily in the pool, you’ve forgotten what day of the week it is.

Seven hours here doesn’t feel like seven hours at all — it feels like a stolen weekend, like you pressed pause on everything else and let paradise take over for a while.

From Start to Finish

Our retreat follows a simple rhythm — enough structure so you can relax into the flow, but with plenty of breathing room to just be. Below you’ll find a quick overview of the schedule, followed by a closer look at each part of the day.

11:00 — Arrival, welcome drink, gentle start
11:30 — Yoga with Sasha
13:00 — Picnic lunch in the garden
14:00 — Pool, relax, or siesta — your choice
15:30 — Group icebreakers with a fun twist
17:00 — Closing Circle
18:00 — Farewell & goodbyes

Arrival, Welcome and Gentle Start

Arrive from 11:00 and ease into the day with a refreshing welcome drink in the garden. No rush, no stress — just time to settle in, explore the finca’s green corners, and meet a few friendly faces before yoga begins. It’s the perfect way to shift from everyday pace into a slower, more relaxed rhythm.

Morning Yoga Session

We start yoga at 11.30 and the session will be led by Sasha. Her classes are designed for everyone — whether it’s your very first time or you already have a practice, you’ll feel right at home. Think gentle stretches, easy breathing, and a pace that makes it simple to follow along. We’ll be flowing out on the grass surrounded by green, so you don’t need to worry about lugging a mat — just bring a towel and you’re set (though of course, a mat works too if you prefer). The goal isn’t to twist yourself into a pretzel, it’s to relax, move, and enjoy a calm start to the day in paradise.

Picnic Lunch in the Garden

At lunchtime we’ll gather under the trees for a healthy buffet-style meal. On the table: a big paella, a spread of delicious tapas, and sweet bakery goods from Bakery de Stefano — all made to treat both body and soul. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian options will be available, just let us know your preference when booking.

Time to Unwind

After lunch the finca is yours to enjoy. Take a swim, stretch out in the sun, find a shady spot for a siesta, or bring along a book or journal if you’d like some quiet time. Whether you want to socialise or drift into your own little bubble, this part of the day is all about relaxing your way.

Connect & Play with our Group Icebreakers

In the afternoonm, around 15:30, we’ll bring everyone together for a short group activity. It’s an easy way to meet new people, share a few conversations, and feel more connected before the day winds down. Nothing complicated — just a relaxed way to get to know each other.

Closing Circle

As the day comes to a close at 17.00, we’ll gather in a quiet circle for a final moment of reflection. It’s a chance to pause, let the experiences of the day settle in, and notice what you’re taking with you. You’re welcome to share a few words if you feel like it, or simply sit in the calm presence of the group. This gentle closing brings the retreat to an end in a mindful and connected way.

Farewell & Goodbyes

By 18:00 our day together will gently come to a close. We’ll gather one last time to thank you for being part of the retreat and to wish you well as you head back into the week. You’ll leave relaxed, recharged, and carrying a little bit of finca calm with you.

    A least half of the appeal of Las Palmas for remote workers and digital nomads is rooted in this community. It’s the best I’ve seen so far in terms of how well it is organised, structured and nurtured. It offers excellent opportunities to meet new people and explore the island.
