Pilates Retreat in Dénia, Spain
17 - 20 April 2026
Dénia is a vibrant Spanish coastal city on the Costa Blanca, known for its sandy beaches, historic Dénia Castle, bustling port connecting to the Balearics, excellent gastronomy (a UNESCO City of Gastronomy), and the backdrop of Montgó Natural Park, offering a mix of relaxation, culture, and outdoor activities with a rich history influenced by various civilizations.
This tasteful accommodation for our pilates retreat is in the hills, La Pedrera, slightly outside the centre of Dénia. It requires a 10 minute taxi to get into town, however this means you get the most stunning views of Dénia towards the sea and most importantly.....tranquility. The perfect place for a long, relaxing weekend.

All the pilates sessions will be provided by Sophie Compton Carr.
Sophie is a Body Control Pilates Teacher, Back4Good® Practitioner & Bone Health Specialist, with Level 4 expertise in Adaptations and Movement.
"I am passionate about technique so whether you're a beginner or advanced client, I like to observe, correct, & ensure you're getting the most out of any movement. I am articulate & like to provide context behind the movements. I have a keen interest in understanding an individual's body and needs - designing lesson plans that really address the issues that you have, whether that's building strength; rehabilitation from an old injury; mobility restrictions or general aches and pains."
As there will only be 6 guests at this retreat, Sophie intends on providing classes that considers everyone who is attending.
