The idea for The Sanctuary Marbella was conceived following owner Francesca’s own personal health journey, which led her to establishing her first health retreat 14 years ago.
Whilst there is no shortage of fitness camps distributed across the world, Francesca noticed a gap in the market for a holistic wellness destination that incorporates practices to focus on mind, body and soul. The concept of the Sanctuary was to provide a safe, discreet, luxurious environment to full indulge in your complete personal health, in a way that is a real treat rather than a chore. The stunning views paired with a year round sunny climate are just the icing on the cake that led us to our own little paradise that we now call home in Marbella on the Costa del Sol.
Luxury wellness destination
It doesn’t have to be all boot camps and barking orders. We’ve created an environment where your mind and body get to truly let go, feel free and relaxed to support your journey to becoming the best version of yourself.
Whether you choose to spend an afternoon floating around our stunning infinity pool or you prefer to indulge in a massage, every activity you choose to partake in at The Sanctuary will allow you to be present and give you the head space to breathe and focus on whatever it is that your heart truly desires in life.
Marvellous Marbella
Marbella is one of the only places in Europe that offers sunshine and balmy temperatures year round. Even on the odd chilly winters day, it’s a pleasure to stroll along the beach listening to the waves lap at the shore, or hike into the mountains to lap up the sprawling views.
Spain is reported to be one of the healthiest nations in the world and we believe that is due to the vibrant culture combined with delicious, fresh food and outdoor living. Easily accessible from both Gibraltar and Malaga airports, Marbella is just a three hour flight away from most major European airports. Almost the same time you may spend on your daily commute to and from work!
We have chosen a location that gives you the peace and tranquility that you need, surrounded by the natural beauty of the idyllic Andalusian countryside.
Our heavenly house
The Sanctuary has been created with profound love and attention to detail. Every part of the property aims to offer total serenity thanks to the beautiful landscaped grounds which look out onto awe inspiring views.
We understand that variation is key and we are fully equipped to enrich every aspect of daily life. The Sanctuary provides a harmonious balance of social spaces and quiet places.

Likeminded souls
It is always easier to achieve your goals when you have a team of cheerleaders behind you! At the Sanctuary, everyone is in it together. Both the staff and your peers come together to create a supportive and motivating environment, whilst simultaneously respecting privacy and discretion.
