The retreat guide 2026–2027 edition
Yoga retreats in Tenerife.
Find the right kind of escape.
Six different ways to make time for practice, from mountain retreat weeks and Ashtanga programmes to flexible classes beside your own holiday.
About this guide: We reviewed current provider information for this October 2026 update. This is an editorial comparison, rather than a ranking based on first-hand visits. Review My Retreat offers paid marketing services to retreat providers. Check current details and book directly with the organiser.
Tenerife has yoga-led residential weeks, independent teachers who can shape classes around a holiday, and intensive training courses. They share an island setting, but the time, teaching and accommodation you are buying can be very different.
Choose your kind of day
Start with the format and the daily practice. Choose a hosted retreat if you want meals and a shared timetable, a private-class arrangement if you prefer your own accommodation, or teacher training if structured study is the purpose of the trip.
The six options include yoga holidays, wider wellness programmes, Tantra and teacher training. Compare the daily practice and entry requirements before choosing. Numbering is for navigation, rather than a quality ranking.

A closer look
A closer look at each programme.
Mandala de Masca
Masca Valley, TenerifeMandala de Masca is a retreat venue in the Masca Valley with a calendar shaped by visiting teachers. Its current listings extend into 2027 and include weeks combining yoga, meditation, meals and time outdoors. One February 2027 programme schedules two daily yoga sessions on the main retreat days, but the style and timetable depend on the organiser.
Before booking: Read the programme for your dates, including teaching language, room sharing and arrival arrangements. Transfer inclusions and pickup times are programme-specific.
Healing Garden Tenerife
Guía de Isora, southwest TenerifeHealing Garden advertises residential wellness programmes in Guía de Isora. Its current Love Myself retreat information lists 2027 dates and describes qigong, breathing, movement and meditation alongside accommodation and catering. It is worth considering for a broader wellbeing programme, while checking how much conventional yoga is actually included.
Before booking: Ask for the daily schedule and food arrangements. The provider’s language about healing or the brain should not be treated as evidence of medical benefit.
Purple Valley Retreats
Tenerife retreat venuePurple Valley’s Tenerife programme centres on Ashtanga yoga with visiting teachers. Its published 2027 calendar includes one- and two-week retreats, with Mysore practice and teacher-specific workshops. Choose by the teacher, experience requirements and class content rather than assuming all departures have the same pace.
Before booking: Check whether the week welcomes newer practitioners or expects familiarity with an Ashtanga sequence. Confirm the venue, rooms, food and arrival information for that departure.
Yoga Vibe Tenerife
Tenerife; location arranged for your stayYoga Vibe, led by Emily Evans, offers a flexible approach to yoga holidays. Rather than requiring a fixed residential week, its current information describes arranging practice around your own hotel or villa, from a few classes to a more frequent schedule. Private sessions can suit travellers who want to keep the rest of their holiday independent.
Before booking: Agree the location, class frequency, level and total teaching cost in advance. Accommodation, meals and transfers should not be assumed to form part of a class booking.
Tantra Bridge
Near Güímar, TenerifeTantra Bridge’s current Taste of Tantra and Nature programme combines daily yoga and meditation with Tantra teaching and trips into the surrounding landscape. The provider advertises a six-day departure for August 2027 at a finca near Güímar. This is a specialist programme with a different focus from a conventional yoga holiday.
Before booking: Read the exact practices and participation expectations. Discuss experience, consent and personal boundaries with the organiser, alongside accommodation, meals and the full timetable.
Shambhala Yoga School
TenerifeShambhala offers residential yoga teacher-training courses. Its current 200-hour course information describes a 15-day format with groups of up to nine, and the school also advertises advanced training and shorter specialist courses. The study, practice and assessment demands make this a different choice from a leisurely retreat week.
Before booking: Check entry requirements, contact hours, assessment, room arrangements and the qualification’s relevance to your intended teaching work. An advanced course may require previous training.
Match the practice to your experience.
A retreat name does not tell you how demanding the week will be. Ask for a sample day, the expected experience level, the teaching language and the amount of free time. A teacher-led week at Mandala de Masca will vary by host; a Purple Valley Ashtanga programme may expect more familiarity with the practice.
Wider wellness or Tantra programmes include activities beyond yoga. Read those activities in full before booking. Teacher training involves study and assessment and should be chosen for its curriculum and requirements, rather than as a substitute for a relaxing holiday.
Plan the journey to the actual venue.
The Masca Valley, the southwest coast and the area around Güímar are different bases. Check the full address, terrain and onward journey before choosing flights. Tenerife has two airports; the appropriate arrival point and any pickup depend on the organiser and venue.
Mountain and outdoor settings can be part of the appeal, but weather and access still matter. Ask about an indoor practice space, steps, walking routes and transport if you need particular accessibility arrangements. Confirm any guided hike’s distance and difficulty rather than assuming it is suitable for everyone.
Compare the whole booking.
A residential retreat, a course with tuition and accommodation, and private yoga classes are different purchases. Compare the exact room, meals, number of teaching sessions, equipment and transfers included in the quote. Check whether single occupancy, extra activities or treatments cost more.
For Yoga Vibe’s flexible holiday format, clarify which teaching arrangements you are booking and what you will organise separately. For teacher training, read attendance, assessment and cancellation requirements before paying a deposit.
Before you book.
- Confirm the live dates, named teacher and teaching language.
- Read the sample timetable and check your experience level.
- Confirm accommodation, bathrooms, meals and dietary arrangements.
- Check the airport, onward travel and any transfer conditions.
- For specialist programmes, understand all activities and participation expectations.
- Read the organiser’s cancellation, deposit and insurance terms.
Wellbeing language is not a medical guarantee. If you have health or mobility needs, discuss practical requirements with the organiser and seek appropriate healthcare advice where needed. A holiday or training programme does not replace healthcare.
Useful questions
Before you choose.
Are these all conventional yoga retreats?
No. The shortlist includes teacher-led yoga weeks, wider wellness programmes, flexible holiday classes, a Tantra programme and teacher training. The profiles explain those distinctions so you can choose the format you want.
Can beginners join?
Some programmes may welcome beginners, while others expect previous practice or training. Check the named teacher’s requirements for the actual departure; an Ashtanga immersion or advanced course may have specific expectations.
Can I stay in my own hotel and book yoga separately?
Yoga Vibe describes flexible classes arranged around your own hotel or villa stay. Agree the class location, schedule and price directly. Other providers usually advertise residential programmes with their own accommodation arrangements.
Which Tenerife airport should I use?
Ask the organiser for the recommended airport and arrival window for your specific venue. Confirm the onward travel time, pickup location and transfer cost before booking flights.
Is teacher training the same as a yoga holiday?
No. Training usually includes structured study, attendance requirements and assessment. Read the curriculum, prerequisites and qualification details carefully, and choose a general retreat if you mainly want practice and free time.
