Chiva-Som Stress Relief retreats have been designed in answer to the increasing number of migraine and life disrupting headaches recorded by guests.

During your stay, you have access to all daily, group fitness classes, of which there are eight per day. You also have the use of the steam, sauna and Jacuzzi which are heavenly. You have a restorative Spa treatment every day of your stay and, in addition to this, holistic therapies and physiotherapy during the course of your holiday.
