Andalucia Transformational Retreat

Our minimum guest age is 18 - we do not accept children or teenagers under the age of 18 for insurance reasons.

We have no maximum age limit, as long as the participant is active and in good health.

Check-in is between 16.00-19.00 every Saturday from Saturday 5th April to Saturday 20th September 2025. 

A Welcome evening meal will be served at 19.00. Please arrive in plenty of time to settle in and take the opportunity to meet your fellow guests and members of our team at dinner. You will discuss your meal preferences during this time with our chefs, find out your schedule for the following day's programme and book any extras or treatments for the week (unless you have pre-booked them online).

Due to our rural location and country roads, we are unable to accept ANY arrivals after 19.00. The programme will also start at 06.00-06.30 the next day so it's absolutely essential that our guests and staff have an uninterrupted night's sleep in order to get the most out of the first day. Late arrivals unfortunately cause disturbance and noise to our other guests, and particularly to our staff, who have to be up even earlier the next morning.

If you are likely to be arriving later than 19.00, please find alternative accommodation for the night; use this link to find hotels close to the airport: Malaga hotels - Booking.com. You must arrive at The Body Camp villa the next day by 06.30 in order to start the programme.

Check-out on the Saturday of departure is strictly 9am. Unfortunately, we're unable to offer late check-outs or luggage storage as Saturdays are our changeover days, and all guests and staff leave the villa to allow an external cleaning company to come in and ready the premises for the new arrivals.

Many guests on late departing flights head into Malaga for a few hours' sightseeing or a long lunch, or go to a beach for some downtime. Our on-site team will be able to advise options.

Andalucia is home to our iconic 7-day programme - we don't offer shorter stays here. If you'd like to try The Body Camp but can't commit to a full week, try our UK retreat - contact the Bookings office for 2025 dates (+44 (0)1548 859 552 or info@thebodycamp.com)

Plant-based nutrition is a hugely important element to our programmes, and we love to showcase it at our Andalucia retreat, which is home to our Executive Head Chef, Ben Whale.

You'll experience three healthy, nutritionally-balanced meals and a morning and afternoon snack every day, plus unlimited cold drinks and teas. Caffeine is available at breakfast only. 

You can also enjoy cookery demonstrations and nutritional tips and recipes during your stay. Our chefs love to talk about the benefits of plant-based eating and exercise, so feel free to chat with them and ask questions.

Coffee is available at breakfast only. Other hot drinks - breakfast tea, herbal teas and hot water & lemon - are unlimited and available throughout the day until bedtime.

A variety of flavoured and unflavoured waters are also available throughout the day and evening from our Hydration Station.

We are an alcohol-free retreat.

Airport pick-ups: Airport pick-ups are only available between 14.00-18.30 on the Saturday of arrival, and strictly from Malaga airport ONLY. We cannot arrange pick-ups from any other location other than the airport. If your flight arrives earlier than 14.00, and you are not happy to wait at the airport for your pick-up, please be aware that we will not be able to arrange a pick-up for you, and you will have to make your own way to the villa via taxi, at your own expense. 

If you have to change your arrival flight details less than 24 hours before check-in, we will be unable to re-arrange your airport pick-up and and you will have to make your own way to the villa via taxi at your own expense. The cost of the transfer will not be refunded.

As all guests depart the villa by 09.00 on the Saturday of departure, you will be dropped off at Malaga airport ONLY at that time. The transfer company cannot drop off in the city centre or at the beach.

If you have an early flight and need to be at the airport before then, your camp manager will assist in organising a taxi for you, but this will not be included in the cost of your transfer and must be paid for at your own expense.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR FLIGHT ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE TIMES CAREFULLY BEFORE BOOKING A VIP PACKAGE as we will be unable to refund packages booked in error. Do contact the Bookings office on +44 (0)1548 859 552 or info@thebodycamp.com if you are unsure.

Rooms are tidied and cleaned every morning, and towels are changed every Monday. 

If you would like your towels changed more often, please speak to your camp manager on arrival.
