Nutrition

Fuel for your soul

Nutrition is one of the key pillars of our retreat experience. What we consume directly impacts our physical and mental wellbeing and therefore, we fuel the body to maximise your ultimate potential.

At the Sanctuary Marbella, we believe in tailor-made, flexible nutrition plans that support your own unique goals. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to our menus. Your aspirations and dietary needs are all taken into consideration when designing your signature meal plan.

The Wild Kitchen

Led by 3 Michelin star, turned holistic chef Jamie Raftery, The Wild Kitchen is the culinary centre of our retreat. Jamie is a figurehead in health centred gastronomy, driven by the principles of Ayurvedic medicine.

With careful consideration paid to nourishment, nature, seasonality, and environment our specialist team of chefs tailor your menu to match your intentions and nutritional needs.

Our food philosophy is to nourish from within. All our food and juices are nutrient dense. We source fresh, locally sourced produce, organic wherever possible. We cut out all processed sugars, chemicals, and additives to provide purity to the body to cleanse from all toxins.

The open plan Wild Kitchen showcases the talents of our creative chefs. Dining becomes an interactive experience as you witness their gourmet meals coming to life. You will have the opportunity to ask questions to understand the importance of nutrition to your body and make more mindful food choices in future.

Breakfast can be taken at your own leisure before 10.30am. All other meals are served as a group in our stunning Moroccan inspired dining room. Guests on our signature plan will eat five times a day, with three meals and two snacks or treats. For your last evening, we host a poolside celebration meal with live entertainment to celebrate your achievements and enjoy an unforgettable night together.

This is just a taste of things to come!

The Juice Bar

For those following a detox or cleanse focused programme, we have a dedicated Juice Bar. Enjoy the camaraderie of your companions on the juice plan, whilst taking in the impressive views across the Andalusian countryside from our Juice terrace.

The Juice Bar offers a tantalising selection of natural blends in a welcoming environment that understands and delivers the wellness benefits of a liquid diet.

A juice detox has incredible healing power as well as health and beauty benefits. Juicing quickly flushes out toxins, aids digestion and pumps the body with essential vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and antioxidants. The side effects are purely positive. Accelerated weight loss, healthy radiant skin, increased energy, lowered inflammation, and a boosted immune system are just a few of the gains you can expect to experience.

If you have found it difficult to incorporate juicing into your everyday life, this is the ideal setting in which to embark on this transformational program. We have designed a deliciously exciting menu of juices, elixirs, smoothies, and soups to keep you fuelled and full without the interference of other life pressures.

Our juice program will introduce you to the flavours, recipes, and nutritional insights to make a success of a liquid diet. Alongside our wellness and fitness program, we can guarantee that you will see and feel a positively new you by the end of your 7-day plan.

Are you ready for your glow up?!
