FAQs
Is there a minimum or maximum age limit for guests?
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.
What time is check-in?
Check-in is between 16.00-19.00 on the Saturday of arrival.
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.
What time is check-out?
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 - there is a luggage storage facility at Malaga airport, and the city centre is a 20-mins taxi or bus ride away. Our on-site team will be able to advise options.
Do you offer short stays?
Our main Deep Calm retreat programme is 7-nights/6-days, but we can also offer 2-night stays (Saturday p.m. to Monday a.m.) or 5-night stays (Monday p.m. to Saturday a.m.).
Spaces are very limited for the short stays, so please contact the office for prices and details of how to book.
Can I stay for longer than 7 nights?
Our Deep Calm retreats are held on specific selected weeks only, so we're unable to offer more than a 7-night stay.
You could, however, combine the Deep Calm retreat with our usual Body Camp fitness week either before or after - you can add them as two separate items on your booking.
If you need any assistance or have any questions at all, please contact the office on +44 (0)1548 859 552.
What's the food like?
Our daily set menu continues to celebrate fresh, whole foods, with vibrant plant-based dishes at its core, now complemented by ethically-sourced proteins to support diverse dietary preferences and performance goals. Whether you thrive on a purely plant-based diet or prefer lean, high-quality meats and fresh seafood, The Body Camp’s approach ensures optimal nutrition, energy, and enjoyment—without compromise.
You'll experience three healthy, nutritionally-balanced meals and a morning and afternoon snack every day, plus unlimited waters and teas.
We cater for most dietary requirements/allergies, and you can request any particular foods to avoid during your online check-in prior to arrival.
Will there be coffee? What other drinks are available?
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.
How often are rooms cleaned?
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.
