“Last week here in Fuerteventura Once By Alys was a yogi at the gorgeus 7Lemons’ House retreat. This place has everything you need to lose yourself in your practice and to refresh”.

“I have been dreaming about trying a Yoga retreat for the past several years, and I finally bit the bullet and booked a week’s stay at 7 Lemons House in Lajares, Fuerteventura for the Christmas week 2016. I have to say I am so glad I did – it’s one of the best things I have ever done! From arrival I was greeted by the very graceful and friendly Laura and Heiko and made to feel extremely welcome. I was shown to my accommodation which was absolutely lovely, spacious and clean with everything you could need with a home from home, even the little details were a plus such as towels, beach towels, hairdryer etc. which was great as I didn’t have to bring them with me and I had more room in my luggage. Another nice touch was a bowl of fresh fruit was provided as well cooled bottled water in the fridge. The apartments are self-catering if you fancy a change from the meals provided but I doubt you will as the food prepared by Heiko was incredible! There was such a variety to suit everyone’s tastes and plenty of it too…you will not go hungry or thirsty as Laura and Heiko make sure all your needs are met. 7 Lemons House is not just about Yoga, it’s a complete package of activities including Pilates, Stand-up paddle boarding, hiking to the volcano crater (a must – you’ll see the beautiful little chipmunks), coastal walks, music therapy, massages and cooking classes (you can also do the Dune walks and trip to the Island of Lobos). In fact, you can pretty much opt in to what suits you and opt out of what doesn’t, and if there is something you would like to try then Laura and Heiko are only too happy to make arrangements for you. The yoga was brilliant; I was extremely rusty having not practiced for many years but the wonderful instructor Paula catered for all levels with all experiences. Pilates was also as good and I learnt a lot from Diane, our instructor. The outdoor space for taking the classes is in a stunning setting of lush tropical gardens, in a quiet, peaceful environment with beautiful mountain views. It really was an amazing time I spent there and I met some fantastic people that I am still in touch with. You never know who you will end up with on a retreat (unless you go in a group booking) and I feel so blessed and so lucky to have met such a group of wonderful people. I cannot thank Laura and Heiko enough for making my first yoga retreat so special and a Xmas that I will never forget. I would highly recommend 7 Lemons House, if not for the wide variety of activities, the marvellous food or the beautiful location but because Laura and Heiko truly make you feel welcome: like a home away from home.”

“The week at 7 lemons was a fantastic experience. I went for a Christmas Yoga retreat and felt totally relaxed and taken care of, there was plenty to do, but also lots of time for reflection and generally recovering from a busy year. The yoga was a great mix between gentle and active (I have been practicing for around 2 years) and the other activities were well thought out and organised. Some had to be changed around due to the windy weather in that week, but that really wasn’t a problem and Laura kept us fully informed of any changes. The apartment where we stayed was comfortable and the location is spectacular, surrounded by volcanic scenery (there is a volcano you can walk up from the house) and a short drive from some great beaches. There is a fantastic garden where you can relax in the sun and Laura and Heiko are great hosts. Heiko is a great chef and the food was delicious and healthy. He also provided us with snacks whenever we wanted them, so I didn’t feel hungry ever! All in all, a wonderful stay. I would definitely recommend 7 lemons!”

“My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful week with Laura and Heiko. They have careful planned everything so that there is an excellent balance of activity and relaxation and they are totally flexible so you can do as much or as little as you like. The yoga and Pilates was excellent and I was so impressed with the care the yoga teacher took to get to know each person and tailor the programme. There was never more than 6 of us either which was heavenly.
The food is incredible and such a bonus not to ahve to think about cooking and buying food. The chef, Heiko, is clearly professional and there was an abundance of healthy food on offer for brunch and dinner. Great to have a cooking lesson from him too! We loved the walking up volcanoes, the SUP lesson and the bike trip was superb too. Plenty of relaxation too and a wonderful massage to top it off. I can honestly say it is the best holiday I’ve been on. My husband had never done yoga and was a little cynical about yoga retreats but was really impressed and enjoyed the whole package. I’d definitely recommend 7LemonsHouse.”

“If you’re looking for a yoga holiday with excellent instruction, food to die for, very hospitable hosts(Laura & Heiko), opportunities to see the island and one that allows for personal space and time too then 7 Lemon House is for you! Paulo, the yoga instructor was so accomodating to all levels of yoga ability in the class and I really appreciated that! Heiko is a chef par excellence and can turn his hand to any kind of cuisine and I even learned how to make vegetarian sushi! Both he & Frederico were excellent island guides too. The groups are small so you can get to know your fellow guests easily. The trip has motivated me to do more yoga and I would love to make 7 Lemon House an annual trip!”

“Laura and Heiko were absolutely amazing hosts. I have been on several retreats all over Europe – also in Fuerteventura and 7Lemon beats them all. The apartments are fully equipped and hey think of everything – complimentary water, freshly cut fruits, an abundance of towels and a very spacious accommodation. The food that Heiko prepares is nothing short of 5 star spectacular. He is an amazing chef and even gave us some cooking lessons. The yoga was good although I have had much better teachers!! That would be my only criticism. But the pilates teacher was very good and as a teacher of pilates myself – I know a good teacher when I have one! The area for yoga is superb – peaceful, relaxing in a beautiful location. Lajares is a lovely little village and very close to El Cotillo – one of my favourite places. This retreat has it all and I will definitely be returning!”

“Dopo 18 mesi in cui ha fatto una sola settimana di vacanza, ci siamo concessi una viaggio che ci portasse fuori dai classici pacchetti! Essendo un’amante di yoga e avendo il proposito di trascorrere una settima all’insegna della salute e del relax, 7LemonsHouse mi sembrava un’ottima scelta. Non mi sbagliavo! La sistemazione, dopo una prima impressione di essere un po’ spartana, è al contrario confortevolissima, pulita e funzionale, le attività di yoga quotidiane sono di ottimo livello e sono perfette per un ottimo risveglio e per iniziare la giornata con l’energia giusta e lo stato mentale adatto! Laura e Heiko, sono degli ospiti eccellenti che ti fanno sentire come essere in vacanza con degli amici! Il cibo è delizioso, Heiko è uno chef professionista, e sano e le attività proposte ed organizzate sono molto belle, dai mini corsi di cucina su temi specifici alle passeggiate in Mountain bike, alla visita all’isola di Los Lobos. Le spiagge non sono vicinissime, ma possono essere raggiunte facilmente in bicicletta. Per vedere anche il resto dell’isola l’ideale è affittare un’auto, cosa che a Fuerteventura è molto conveniente. Consigliamo 7LemonHouse a color che cercano una vacanza che combini diverse cose: lo yoga, vedere l’isola, godersi un po’ di mare e mangiare cibo sano!”

“Superior retreat better than any others in Fuerteventura. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone. It’s perfect in every way from the food,hospitality, location and the activities on offer. Truly wonderful!”
