Located between Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, the small Island of Lobos owes its name to the sea lions that made it their home not long ago (in Spanish they are called lobos de mar, sea wolfs). This tiny volcanic gem of the ocean, just over 6 square kilometers, is a natural reserve dotted with marshes, coves and natural pools that sparkle like jewels in the water. Get to know it when you visit us and immerse yourself in the magic of its vibrant colors: the intense green of its waters in intense contrast with the black of the volcanic rock and the ocher-colored trails.

The island is accessed by ferry in a 15-minute journey from the port of Corralejo, just 13 minutes by car from our enclave in Villaverde. The maritime area between Lobos and Corralejo is a submarine reserve and excursions to the island therefore have limited capacity. We will be happy to guide you on how to organize your visit, provide information about ferry schedules, boarding points, and where to book excursions or diving activities, so you can easily discover this idyllic place on a day trip.

Located in the northeast of the island, the Natural Park of the Corralejo Dunes harbor the largest extension of dunes in the Canary Islands. It is a magical landscape of fine, undulating golden sand that lends the island’s waters their characteristic turquoise color. It is an amazing experience to lie down and offer yourself in the sun on this warm sand, soft and silky like honey, before immersing oneself in the most transparent waters you have ever seen. This fascinating enclave is easily accessible by walking along the coast from our facilities or directly by car by road.

The Arc of Las Peñitas is a unique rock formation naturally sculpted by wind erosion. It appears to support an invisible cathedral and under the starry mantle of the night sky, it evokes almost mystical sensations that uplift the spirit. Alongside the famous rock arch, The Ravine of Las Peñitas also houses another place dedicated to contemplation and introspection, created by human hands in this ocasion: the Hermitage of the Virgen de la Peña. All in all, the Ravine of las Peñitas is a beautiful place that is worth dedicating a day of exploration.

Walking through the ravine is not dangerous, but it requires attention and forces us to move slowly and carefully. For humans, the terrain is rugged and makes us somewhat clumsy, attracting the attentive gaze of agile friends such as lizards, birds, goats, and charming squirrels. They watch us with curious and playful expressions, aware that they are faster and more agile, which gives them the confidence to approach closely and observe us, perhaps enjoying themselves at our expense, secretly laughing at our clumsiness.

On the island of Fuerteventura, there are hundreds of windmills, and in the past, there were more than a thousand. These mills were used to draw water from wells and grind corn to produce gofio, a flour very popular in the Canary Islands. Even today, locals use gofio to make bread and enrich broths. It is also added to children’s breakfast milk to help them grow strong.

The wind has always been important in Fuerteventura. The same wind that once drew water from the rocks and transformed the hardness of the grain into the softness of bread now positions us as a recognized center in the world of surfing. It seems there’s a lesson to be learned from this, doesn’t it? Both in the past and the present, life has been and continues to be a challenge on this island of sober and austere beauty, where survival depends on making the most of everything the island offers, including the very air we breathe. A windmill spreading its sails to the wind is an inspiring metaphor for the concept of openness—an attitude that allows us to open ourselves with confidence and fully receive the gifts that life presents.

Our Yoga retreats center is situated in Villaverde, a 13-minute drive from the beautiful town of Corralejo, wichh is the second-largest tourist destination on the island, following the capital city of Puerto del Rosario. Corralejo offers an endless number of excellent restaurants serving both local and international cuisine, vibrant bars charming streets explore, as well as shops, shopping centers, a marina, and some nightclubs. Over time, Corralejo has managed to retain the essence of its origins as a beautiful, simple, and whitewashed fishing village and its old town preserves the marine atmosphere. Particularly at dusk, when the sounds of the day quiet down, the estreet illuminate, and the aroma of grilled fish blends with local wine and cheese, the town awakens with an undeniable spirit and authenticity.
