Do you like the combo of sea, yoga, nature, hiking, Spanish cuisine, coffee or wine? 🌴 If you said YES to at least three of those, we want you along! The trip is organized by Bibi and Andy. Local Bibi will take care of the accommodation in a beautiful villa and the whole program on the island, with Andy you will have yoga classes. 🧘♀
Tenerife offers an incredible natural spectacle in several "climate belts". So one day we can be sunbathing in our swimsuits by the sea and the next scrambling in our jackets to the Teide volcano (3,715m)! There are beautiful towns, forests and wine regions full of local restaurants. Tenerife is an island of all colours and tastes and the hospitality of the Canarians is endless. However, they have their own peace and time for everything and we will make our way at a similar pace. 😊
🏠 WHERE WE'LL BE
Our base is the Villa Finca de la Musica with its pool and garden right in the middle of the island's coastline - strategic, right? The villa has several 2 bedroom fully equipped apartments for 3 people each (double bed + sofa bed). We will assign you to the apartments according to your preferences. There will be twelve of us in total. However, we will be spending most of our time outdoors.
🍊 HOW WE WILL EAT
The apartments have fully equipped kitchens. The local Lidl has a quality and affordable range. We can usually manage breakfast in the villa, but lunch and dinner are usually worked out somewhere on the road. There are lots of amazing Spanish and Italian restaurants in the area and it would be a sin not to try the local specialities. A meal usually comes out to 220-250 CZK, and you can get a coffee and croissant cheaper than a cappuccino in Prague.
🧘♀ HOW WILL IT BE WITH YOGA LESSONS?
Yoga classes are suitable for beginners and intermediate students. Class will be every day except arrival and departure days and one more challenging day with a full day hike. However, we can stretch in the garden outside of the program if we wish. We will have a technical class to start, power yoga, yoga for a healthy back and neck, dance yoga, gentle yoga and meditation.
🚗 HOW IT WILL BE WITH TRANSPORTATION AROUND THE ISLAND
We will already have our cars arranged at the airport for the entire stay, so we can easily get to excursions or shopping.
👜 What to arrange before departure
No vaccinations or visa required for the Canaries, just a valid ID.
👟 WHAT TO BRING
In addition to the usual items, definitely don't forget: a yoga mat, a backpack and good quality hiking shoes, a warmer jacket with a hood for climbing Teide and a good quality sunscreen. For the sea or the pool, a swimsuit and a towel will do.
📌 PROGRAM
Detailed itinerary including yoga class schedule can be found below. The program is completely optional and if you'd rather lie down with a book in the garden instead of tasting wines, go for it! In the yoga classes, we will also take into account beginners and tailor the lesson to help them master everything.
❤️ WHY GO?"
Because Bibi knows Tenerife like the back of her hand and will show us the best places you might not get to as a regular tourist. From natural beauty to local restaurants to cultural experiences. And with Andy, you will in turn experience yoga classes in the beautiful garden to put your mind at ease and strengthen your body. So don't hesitate, we only have twelve places!
First, our buddy Bibi welcomes us to her Canarian accommodation! A creative and cosy place with several separate apartments just for us, with a pool, exercise area and barbecue. The owner is always happy to make a nice welcome evening with music by local artists. We can also go for a shorter walk around the area. In the evening, we sit down with a good wine and discuss together what we have to look forward to and get to know each other a bit.
☕ After breakfast together we will have a quiet coffee and from 10 am we will have our first technical yoga class with Andy (1 hour). 🧘♀ In this class we will go through all the classic poses and their correct execution. Around noon we will leave for our first trip.
🚗 As a first exploration of Tenerife we will take a half-day trip to the village of Masca. We'll have lunch in one of the local restaurants on the way before we reach the mountains and then head to the first beautiful spot on the island!
🚗 There's only one road to Masca and it's going to take a lot of effort. You drive 20 max 30 through very winding serpentine roads and when you meet a bus you are petting the rocks. In this case there is absolutely no rush and it's just how it works out. When you arrive in the village you have to send a wish for a free parking space into space. However, sometimes it happens that you just don't park, so we continue on into the mountains and at least enjoy the views of the beauty of Tenerife. Masca has 90 inhabitants today. And it's at an altitude of 650 metres. It's one of Bibi's favourite places on Tenerife. 🌳
☕ Also today we will have a power yoga class (1 hour) after breakfast, this time it will be focused on strength elements. 🧘♀ Beginners don't have to worry, we will adapt the elements for everyone. After lunch we will go out again for an afternoon hike.
🚗 The capital of Tenerife located in the northern part of the island! We will visit a variety of places here! First thing in the morning we will visit the local authentic market Mercado de Nuestra Señora de África. Here you can taste local yummy food or buy souvenirs.
🌊 Auditoria de Tenerife - the famous music and cultural centre, known for its wave-like design. It was supposedly designed to protect part of the city in the event of a tsunami and break the wave. ☕ Plaza de España is the largest square in Santa Cruz. Have a coffee here by the local lake or check out the artwork. A short walk away is the Museum of Nature and Archaeology, which is the perfect place for anyone who wants to learn about the history and nature of the Canary Islands. ☀ Before we run off into the sunset at the local botanical gardens, we pop into the Casa del Carnaval museum. Tenerife hosts one of the largest carnivals in the world every year! At this time, thousands of tourists flock to the island for this event. And the Carnival Queen is elected. Some of these costumes are on display in the museum. It's worth a look.
🪴 Our last stop will be the Palmetum - the largest botanical garden on the island. There are 4,000 species of plants to see, including many species of palm trees. And at sunset, it has a powerful charm of its own!
🚗 Today will be a yoga-free day, because we have the most challenging hike ahead of us and we will start right after breakfast:
⛰ One of Bibi's favorite places is Pico el Teide National Park. The Canary Islands are volcanic and here we have the very mother of the country. The rumour amongst the locals is that when the La Palma volcano erupted on La Palma, Teide itself just "sputtered" off to the side. It is still an active volcano that is being monitored. We will tour the "moonscape" that surrounds the volcano itself. For the gentler travellers, it is possible to choose hiking trails down in the area and get a glimpse of Teide from below. Or take the cable car up Teide and walk down, which is quite challenging terrain but an incredible experience (descent down about 2.5 hours) . And for the most courageous there is the walk up to the cable car and back down again (approx 6,5h journey). For that you need to have really warm clothes and good shoes, plus water and food for the whole day. Sometimes we climb almost on all fours and on the rocks. 💪 You also need to take breaks, because the air is very thin at the top.
Don't worry about anything, we'll work out the ideal route plan depending on your fitness level! 😊
☕ After breakfast we will have yoga morning again, this time we will focus on healthy back and neck (1 hour). 🧘♀ And around noon we will go for a hike again.
🚗 After visiting Teide, we will definitely take a relaxing day! We will take you to the town of El Medano, where everyone will create a program to suit their taste. El Medano is a renowned surfing town with beautiful beaches and a charming little centre where you can have really good local drinks and food. 🥙 One of Bibi's favourite restaurants is MalaVida Mexican restaurant in the centre, right on the beach of Playa de El Medano. We can walk through the center as well as visit one of the local beaches and only get to some of them after low tide. It has its own charm! A great way to spend an afternoon and evening. There is something for everyone. 😍
☕ As usual, after breakfast and coffee we will do morning yoga. This time it will be dance yoga, so we will combine elements of dance, animal movement and yoga. 🧘♀ And don't worry, you don't have to be a dance talent!
🚗 Puerto de la Cruz is a great compromise between nature, beaches and lots of colour. You can walk along the wild ocean, which has a special power in the winter months. We'll also go to the terraced gardens of Parque Taoro, overlooking the entire city. It's a real spectacle... 😮
We will also stop at Casa de la Aduana with its promenade, shops and restaurants where we can have a great lunch. 🍝
🧘♀ We're going to start this morning differently. We will do yoga before breakfast, because it will be a gentle yoga combined with meditation. ☕ After breakfast, we'll have coffee and head out for a day trip.
🚗 Today we will have a great trip to the green nature and much more!
The Anaga mountain range is made up of sharp ridges and deep gorges in a densely packed sequence! It is covered in a green mantle of laurel and here and there you will catch a glimpse of a picturesque traditional homestead. The laurel grove is definitely worth seeing. If you want to see truly authentic Canarian life, this is the perfect place! We will also go to the typical Canarian village of La Laguna, where you will see the beauty of the local, mountain villages. Anaga is full of hiking tours and it's up to us which one we choose! 🌳 These places will make you feel like you're literally in a Lord of the Rings movie! The incredible structure of trees and greenery adds a mystical atmosphere to the whole park. We definitely have something to do all day long! ⛰
☀ We'll keep the last day open! Depending on departure time, we can still lounge by the pool at Finca De La Musica or run down the hill to Las Eras and take a walk along the ocean.
🥐 We can also drive to Guimar for a great Italian breakfast, where we'll have an Italian coffee and a croissant with Nutella. As well as El Poris, where we can have some local yumminess and then a walk along the ocean. 🌊 We can discuss anything else and get ready for our journey back to Prague together.
✈ What are we going home with?
- with a mountain of experiences in new places
- with new knowledge of yoga and meditation
- with a rested mind
- with slightly bronzed skin thanks to the sun
- with a pleasantly tired body after all the hikes and classes
- and especially with new friends ❤️

We can usually manage breakfast in the villa, but lunch and dinner are usually worked out somewhere on the road. There are lots of amazing Spanish and Italian restaurants in the area and it would be a sin not to try the local specialities. A meal usually comes out to 220-250 CZK, and you can get a coffee and croissant cheaper than a cappuccino in Prague.
🧘♀ HOW WILL IT BE WITH YOGA LESSONS?
Yoga classes are suitable for beginners and intermediate students. Class will be every day except arrival and departure days and one more challenging day with a full day hike. However, we can stretch in the garden outside of the program if we wish. We will have a technical class to start, power yoga, yoga for a healthy back and neck, dance yoga, gentle yoga and meditation.
🚗 HOW IT WILL BE WITH TRANSPORTATION AROUND THE ISLAND
We will already have our cars arranged at the airport for the entire stay, so we can easily get to excursions or shopping.
👜 What to arrange before departure
No vaccinations or visa required for the Canaries, just a valid ID.
👟 WHAT TO BRING
In addition to the usual items, definitely don't forget: a yoga mat, a backpack and good quality hiking shoes, a warmer jacket with a hood for climbing Teide and a good quality sunscreen. For the sea or the pool, a swimsuit and a towel will do.
📌 PROGRAM
Detailed itinerary including yoga class schedule can be found below. The program is completely optional and if you'd rather lie down with a book in the garden instead of tasting wines, go for it! In the yoga classes, we will also take into account beginners and tailor the lesson to help them master everything.
❤️ WHY GO?"
Because Bibi knows Tenerife like the back of her hand and will show us the best places you might not get to as a regular tourist. From natural beauty to local restaurants to cultural experiences. And with Andy, you will in turn experience yoga classes in the beautiful garden to put your mind at ease and strengthen your body. So don't hesitate, we only have twelve places!
First, our buddy Bibi welcomes us to her Canarian accommodation! A creative and cosy place with several separate apartments just for us, with a pool, exercise area and barbecue. The owner is always happy to make a nice welcome evening with music by local artists. We can also go for a shorter walk around the area. In the evening, we sit down with a good wine and discuss together what we have to look forward to and get to know each other a bit.
☕ After breakfast together we will have a quiet coffee and from 10 am we will have our first technical yoga class with Andy (1 hour). 🧘♀ In this class we will go through all the classic poses and their correct execution. Around noon we will leave for our first trip.
🚗 As a first exploration of Tenerife we will take a half-day trip to the village of Masca. We'll have lunch in one of the local restaurants on the way before we reach the mountains and then head to the first beautiful spot on the island!
🚗 There's only one road to Masca and it's going to take a lot of effort. You drive 20 max 30 through very winding serpentine roads and when you meet a bus you are petting the rocks. In this case there is absolutely no rush and it's just how it works out. When you arrive in the village you have to send a wish for a free parking space into space. However, sometimes it happens that you just don't park, so we continue on into the mountains and at least enjoy the views of the beauty of Tenerife. Masca has 90 inhabitants today. And it's at an altitude of 650 metres. It's one of Bibi's favourite places on Tenerife. 🌳
☕ Also today we will have a power yoga class (1 hour) after breakfast, this time it will be focused on strength elements. 🧘♀ Beginners don't have to worry, we will adapt the elements for everyone. After lunch we will go out again for an afternoon hike.
🚗 The capital of Tenerife located in the northern part of the island! We will visit a variety of places here! First thing in the morning we will visit the local authentic market Mercado de Nuestra Señora de África. Here you can taste local yummy food or buy souvenirs.
🌊 Auditoria de Tenerife - the famous music and cultural centre, known for its wave-like design. It was supposedly designed to protect part of the city in the event of a tsunami and break the wave. ☕ Plaza de España is the largest square in Santa Cruz. Have a coffee here by the local lake or check out the artwork. A short walk away is the Museum of Nature and Archaeology, which is the perfect place for anyone who wants to learn about the history and nature of the Canary Islands. ☀ Before we run off into the sunset at the local botanical gardens, we pop into the Casa del Carnaval museum. Tenerife hosts one of the largest carnivals in the world every year! At this time, thousands of tourists flock to the island for this event. And the Carnival Queen is elected. Some of these costumes are on display in the museum. It's worth a look.
🪴 Our last stop will be the Palmetum - the largest botanical garden on the island. There are 4,000 species of plants to see, including many species of palm trees. And at sunset, it has a powerful charm of its own!
🚗 Today will be a yoga-free day, because we have the most challenging hike ahead of us and we will start right after breakfast:
⛰ One of Bibi's favorite places is Pico el Teide National Park. The Canary Islands are volcanic and here we have the very mother of the country. The rumour amongst the locals is that when the La Palma volcano erupted on La Palma, Teide itself just "sputtered" off to the side. It is still an active volcano that is being monitored. We will tour the "moonscape" that surrounds the volcano itself. For the gentler travellers, it is possible to choose hiking trails down in the area and get a glimpse of Teide from below. Or take the cable car up Teide and walk down, which is quite challenging terrain but an incredible experience (descent down about 2.5 hours) . And for the most courageous there is the walk up to the cable car and back down again (approx 6,5h journey). For that you need to have really warm clothes and good shoes, plus water and food for the whole day. Sometimes we climb almost on all fours and on the rocks. 💪 You also need to take breaks, because the air is very thin at the top.
Don't worry about anything, we'll work out the ideal route plan depending on your fitness level! 😊
☕ After breakfast we will have yoga morning again, this time we will focus on healthy back and neck (1 hour). 🧘♀ And around noon we will go for a hike again.
🚗 After visiting Teide, we will definitely take a relaxing day! We will take you to the town of El Medano, where everyone will create a program to suit their taste. El Medano is a renowned surfing town with beautiful beaches and a charming little centre where you can have really good local drinks and food. 🥙 One of Bibi's favourite restaurants is MalaVida Mexican restaurant in the centre, right on the beach of Playa de El Medano. We can walk through the center as well as visit one of the local beaches and only get to some of them after low tide. It has its own charm! A great way to spend an afternoon and evening. There is something for everyone. 😍
☕ As usual, after breakfast and coffee we will do morning yoga. This time it will be dance yoga, so we will combine elements of dance, animal movement and yoga. 🧘♀ And don't worry, you don't have to be a dance talent!
🚗 Puerto de la Cruz is a great compromise between nature, beaches and lots of colour. You can walk along the wild ocean, which has a special power in the winter months. We'll also go to the terraced gardens of Parque Taoro, overlooking the entire city. It's a real spectacle... 😮
We will also stop at Casa de la Aduana with its promenade, shops and restaurants where we can have a great lunch. 🍝
🧘♀ We're going to start this morning differently. We will do yoga before breakfast, because it will be a gentle yoga combined with meditation. ☕ After breakfast, we'll have coffee and head out for a day trip.
🚗 Today we will have a great trip to the green nature and much more!
The Anaga mountain range is made up of sharp ridges and deep gorges in a densely packed sequence! It is covered in a green mantle of laurel and here and there you will catch a glimpse of a picturesque traditional homestead. The laurel grove is definitely worth seeing. If you want to see truly authentic Canarian life, this is the perfect place! We will also go to the typical Canarian village of La Laguna, where you will see the beauty of the local, mountain villages. Anaga is full of hiking tours and it's up to us which one we choose! 🌳 These places will make you feel like you're literally in a Lord of the Rings movie! The incredible structure of trees and greenery adds a mystical atmosphere to the whole park. We definitely have something to do all day long! ⛰
☀ We'll keep the last day open! Depending on departure time, we can still lounge by the pool at Finca De La Musica or run down the hill to Las Eras and take a walk along the ocean.
🥐 We can also drive to Guimar for a great Italian breakfast, where we'll have an Italian coffee and a croissant with Nutella. As well as El Poris, where we can have some local yumminess and then a walk along the ocean. 🌊 We can discuss anything else and get ready for our journey back to Prague together.
✈ What are we going home with?
- with a mountain of experiences in new places
- with new knowledge of yoga and meditation
- with a rested mind
- with slightly bronzed skin thanks to the sun
- with a pleasantly tired body after all the hikes and classes
- and especially with new friends ❤️
