Recover from the excesses of the Christmas season in a sports hotel
Rooms designed for athletes, Olympic-size swimming pool, gym with professional equipment, specialised cycling centre and a wellness centre to relax after training, all of this will get in shape in no time.
Despite all the efforts, few people survive the Christmas holidays without noticing the excesses that come with it. If this sounds familiar, and you fancy starting 2019 by getting over the sedentary and caloric excess of family meals, you’re in luck. Block a few days in your agenda and escape to a hotel specialising in sports tourism like the hotel Occidental Lanzarote Mar for a long weekend. In addition to appreciating Lanzarote’s privileged climate, you’ll enjoy working out like a real athlete.
Rooms for sportsmen and women
Start your choice getaway by staying in one of the rooms for sportsmen and women at the resort and enjoy one of the 55m2 rooms full of winks to the world of sports: spacious beds with super comfortable mattresses to induce deep sleep; a training area with TRX exercise panels, a hot tub with panoramic views to relax, a Finnish sauna to get rid of those last few remaining toxins after Christmas and plenty of space to store the sports material you travelled.
360º detox holiday
One of Occidental Lanzarote Mar’s great successes was adapting its facilities to offer an extensive range of sports activities. So, whether you usually run, swim, ride a bike or do strength training, you can get back into shape with your regular routine at this emblematic hotel after the Christmas holidays.
Professional advice is on hand from the professionals at the hotel’s sports department, or you can work away on your own. The choice is yours. Set aside the morning sessions to swim a few lengths of the Olympic-size outdoor pool with 10 lanes; combine it with cardiovascular and strength training in the gym or a functional training circuit with a cross-training box. In the afternoon, you can try the cycling simulator and put yourself to the test riding along computer-simulated routes through some of the highest mountain peaks in Spain.
And if you want to get close to nature and soak up some vitamin D with the sunshine and make the most of your short break in Lanzarote, you could head out for a run and enjoy the natural beauty around the hotel or even take a dip in the ocean waters.
After all that, and to recover from your sports marathon, what better way to relax than with a visit to the hotel’s wellness centre for a relaxing massage to restore flexibility to your muscles.
