Sana Sana Christmas has arrived and it's 25th August !!!

We’ve changed our name and have been overwhelmed by the support we have received from all of you.

For us, the name feels like more than a name. It feels like home and a reflection of everything our Retreat has become over the years. Without each and every one of our guests, things would never have grown and evolved the way they have.

To celebrate this next chapter in our adventure, we have decided to give someone the chance to win a week for two in one of our shared rooms - a little thank you for being part of our story.

Imagine slow mornings, walks in the hills, delicious feasts, fun workouts, yoga with beautiful views and the kind of rest that lasts long after you leave.

HOW TO ENTER:-

** Follow and tell us in the comments who you would like to come with (and why) and we will select a winner.

** The winner will be chosen at random from all the comments shown and will be announced on Monday, 1st September 2025.

** The prize includes a 1-week stay at the Retreat in a Shared Deluxe Room and includes all elements of our program.

** Dates are subject to availability and to be taken within 12 months. Flights and any additional treatments during your stay are not included and will be for your account.

Thank you for being here, cheering us on, and growing with us.

Good luck and looking forward to welcoming the winner and their guest.

So ! Where Sana Sana actually come from ?

In our search for our new name, we did some research into the meaning of the word and there was something we found that really resonated with us.

🇪🇸 It comes from a Spanish phrase that parents say to calm their children down when they hurt themselves.

🐸 “Sana, sana, colita de rana…” - “Heal, heal, little frog’s tail…”

It’s not about anything logical, rather it’s bout live and care and is a phrase that reminds us . It’s about love that healing doesn’t always need to be big or dramatic.

Sometimes it’s simply about being seen, being comforted, or being told that things are going to be ok.

💚 That’s a core message at the heart of our retreat - a place where you can let go of the shoulds, rest your mind, move your body in kind ways, and reconnect with what’s real and important.

🐸 It’s why, in our new logo, we’ve chosen to use the footprint of a frog to remind us of the meaning behind the names. Although we have added an extra “finger” for reasons to be shared.

💚 Sana Sana is an invitation to slow down, kick off your shoes, quieten your to-do list, and remember what it feels like to just be.

So there you have it ! Some more insights into our new name.

And don’t forget, tomorrow we will be doing something here on the page so make sure you drop by.

La vida sana es la vida feliz - A healthy life is a happy life

Today, we have a little poem to share a bit more about our beautiful new name. Sit back, take in the words and imagine yourself here with us.

💚 Come in your joggers, or dressed to impress,
Stressed out or glowing, we don’t mind the mess.
No rules, no rush, no “fix yourself” plan,
Just space to exhale and be who you am.

💚 We’ve got yoga and laughter and juice on the go,
Walks in the hills and a Vitamin D glow.
You can nap by the pool or bounce on a ball,
Do every class or do nothing at all.

💚 Eat food fit for a queen (or a king, if that’s you),
Sip herbal tea with a stunning mountain view.
Stretch and sweat, snooze, laugh and chat,
This is your time and we know you need that.

💚 So come find your rhythm, your breath or your soul,
Sana Sana is healing, a place to return to whole.

Have a fun-filled Friday

💚 Sana Sana is here and it’s the beginning of a new chapter in our adventure.

💚 The same unique and personal “game” with the same heart and soul but just a new, more personal and caring name that we believe expresses the essence of what we do.

Since opening our doors to you all at the start of 2014, we’ve been through quite a few challenges, some which seemed impossible to conquer at the time.

They’ve pushed us to dig deep and not only work on the business, but work on ourselves as well.

🧐 As a result of all of these, we have learned more about ourselves and grown as individuals.

🚧 Along the way, we’ve outgrown some things and have been thinking about changing our name for some time but could never find the right one.

We are often told that D-Toxd does not express what we do and can, to people who are new to our family, come across quite hard. Yes, it served a purpose and who we were but like we said, sometimes your outgrow things and things change along the way and that’s ok.

✂️Letting go of the old, comfortable things is difficult especially when you’ve committed so much to it so this isn’t a decision we have taken lightly because new is also scary but it can be exciting.

🇪🇸 We wanted something that not only paid homage to the beautiful country we call home but that also captured everything we have learned.

💚 Sana is such a special word (as you would have seen us talking about in our last posts) that has special meaning.

💚 In fact, it’s so nice we chose to use it twice and as a result, Sana Sana was born.

When we wrote this down during a brainstorming session, we both felt a sense of excitement and it made us not only smile but also, laugh - something we know many of you have experienced during your stays with us.

It also was, importantly, a name that we both agreed on a resonated with in our own individual ways.

📍So it stuck and then the hard work behind the scenes began and here we are !

Over the next few days, we will be sharing more about why we chose the name and on Monday, 25th August we will be sharing something else that is pretty exciting too.

💚 We hope you love and resonate with our new name as much as we do because for us, it’s not just for us - it’s also about each and every one of you who have contributed to, and inspired and supported and encouraged our growth.

❓We’d love to know what you think so please let us know in the comments below.

🐸 With that, here’s to a Sana filled day to you all.

Forget December because the real magic is happening on Monday, 25th August.

Something beautiful is coming — and we can’t wait to unwrap it with you.

A brand new chapter in our Spanish Sana Adventure.

So mark your calendars because it’s kind of like Christmas, but sun-soaked, soul-nourishing, and rooted in everything we’ve been growing toward.

Another exploration into the beautiful word we recently introduced you to - Sana - because for us, it encapsulates (big word don’t you think) some of the things we stand for deep down inside.

💚S — Slow Down
A place to pause, breathe, and step away of the noise and busyness we are often constantly surrounded by.

💚 A — Awaken
Awaken your body with gentle movement and fun exercise, your senses with delicious, healthy food and your soul with space and an opportunity to be in the now.

💚 N — Nourish & Nurture
Look after every part of you (physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and energetically) in a place that offers you homely comfort where you can just be yourself

💚 A — Align
Reconnect with what truly matters in life from your natural rhythm and flow, your values, and the version of you that feels most true.

These are 4 simple and gentle steps that you can take towards re-connecting with yourself in a way that brings some sana into your life today.

To wrap it up, here’s something to sum it all up:-

💚 Sana el cuerpo, calma la mente y regresa a ti.

Heal the body, calm the mind, and return to yourself.

Here’s to a Sana-filled day whatever you’re doing.

Out next Cookery Retreat Week is coming up and it’s when we take people “behind the scenes” to see how we create all our meals.

⚛️ During the week, we have daily sessions covering The Art, Science, Psychology and Love of Cooking and Eating.

Some people have asked what’s included so here’s some of the sessions we will be going through:-

🍽️ How flavours, textures and colors work in your meals and how to balance them

🍽️ Creating your own pestos and sauces that can be combined in many different ways

🧐 Exploring and understanding our relationship with food, where it comes from and how we can make changes

🧐 Uncovering the different elements that go into creating a meal

🧐 Diving into mindful meal planning and learning how to create your own recipes

🍽️ On top of all of this, there will also be daily sessions in the kitchen where we prepare meals from the menus to see how things are actually done

📝 And, you also get a workbook so that you can make notes and continue the journey when you return home.

It’s all about understanding the key secret ingredients and principles in the kitchen that help us to be more creative but also that help us to relax and have more fun.

🧘And don’t worry - you still get to enjoy the other elements of our normal program as well with daily walks, exercise, yoga and time for rest and relaxation by the pool.

As we like to keep our groups small, It really is a week where we share as much as we can and where you get to ask any and all questions you might have.

We still have 1 room available for the week so why not come and join us ?

Health in Spanish is literally translated to “Sana” although it’s also a word that also doesn’t really have a direct translation.

It can also be used in a very holistic way and doesn’t just mean physical health or healing but also emotionally, energetically, and even spiritually.

It is a gentle, intuitive word that is based on the idea of being back in balance or the act of taking care of someone.

When used as an adjective, it describes something that is in good health, free from disease or damage or even something that is good for you.

“Sana” is also a word that a mother might say to soothe a child after hurting themselves, and also remind us that we don’t have to wait for the “perfect” time to make change, we only have to take that first small step to start the journey.

The Spanish language, just like the home of our retreat, is so beautiful and we are truly blessed to be able to do what we do in this part of the world and today, we just wanted to share a little bit of that with you.

Even though we are enjoying our summer break and time with family, we also can’t wait to begin another new season of doing what we love in a few weeks time.

We still have 1 room available for our Cookery Week in September so why not come and join us for a little bit of “sana” time.

And whatever you’re doing, we hope you’re having a sana summer and enjoying yourselves.
