How much and what's included on a holistic holiday
What it costs: Not as cheap as a package holiday, but given the standard of accommodation, tuition and food, pretty good value. Prices vary from €545 per person sharing per week for the cheapest double room to €850 per week for a single room, going up to €935 per person sharing for the luxury Mirador suite. If the single rooms are taken, you can either pay a supplement for a double or opt to share with another guest. If you do this and no one else books, you have the room to yourself for the shared rate. Flights are not included, but there are frequent charter flights from Ireland to Lanzarote. My Falcon/First Choice flight from Dublin cost €359.
What's included: Five yoga classes; transfer from Arecife airport to the villa; a welcome reception with sparkling wine and crudités; breakfast each day; in-room beverages; two dinners and one lunch; a lovely house and gardens to hang around in, plus lots of friendly advice about everything from car hire to restaurants.
