Welcome to Cocoon Eco, our oasis of tranquillity and well-being on the beautiful island of Gran Canaria in the green and lush area of Tarfira Alta, far away from tourism and stress.
Perhaps you want to kick-start a healthy lifestyle, practice or learn yoga, need time out from a busy stressful life and be unplugged or have some quiet time for yourself. If so, then Cocoon Eco is the place for you to relax and rejuvenate. Here, we offer you complete all-inclusive packages for your health and well-being. We also offer rentals of the property and our service if you would like to make your own arrangments.
Imagine practicing yoga at sunrise on our roof terrace with views of the mountains and the sea glistening in the distance and the feeling of the fresh and clean air upon your face and body. Or maybe you can see yourself meditating with the sun dropping down over the mountains. There are plentiful sunsets and sunrises at Cocoon Eco. We will also share with you the most amazing places on the island to practice yoga, walk along the blue flag beaches or trek in the mountains. You might be lucky to spot dolphins that swim off the coast on our boattrip or go hourse riding if you like. You can step out in our sheltered, private garden to lounge in a hammock, climb in our beautiful tree or have a tea under one of our luscious palms or listen to soft music around the firecamp at night. Our courtyard is created with love and care to make you feel at your best and to help you celabreate and enjoy the important things in life.

Relax and rejuvenate in our caring, nurturing environment. Your relaxation starts from the moment you arrive in our tranquil surroundings. There are plenty of chillout and relaxing areas throughout the house and garden including a secluded roof terrace (200 m2) and the magical garden where yoga is practised. There is space for you to have some time on your own and enjoy the magnificent climate here on Gran Canaria, noted as the best climates in Europe.


The fresh food is lovingly prepared every day in our kitchen. The healthy nutritionally packed vegetarian-based menu changes in time with the seasons and according to availability of local fruits and vegetables. If you wish to detox during your stay you might choose to start with a three-day juice, using fresh vegetable and fruit juices. This allows the body to release toxins, cleansing you from the inside. Weight-loss is a common result when we detox or eat natural foods that are packed with nutrition. Whether you choose to eat or juice, you can rest assured that you are giving your body live food, full of vitamins and nutrients which allows your body to detox, cleanse and refresh, making you feel revitalised by the end of your stay at cocoon eco. All our food is mostly organic and freshly prepared using local produce that is available at the time. All meals are included breakfast, lunch (or lunchbag) and evening meal as well as teas, coffees, water, juice and smoothies. All of the above is part of our inclusive package .

The yoga on offer is designed to revitalise your body, mind and spirit, with morning classes of 75 minutes every day, with extra 60 minutes classes in the afternoon most days of the week. Our well trained instructor Lenka is here to support and inspire you on your yoga journey.
If you are new to yoga then this is a safe environment in which to try it out. We practice Hatha yoga with Vinyassa flow – an approach based upon listening to your body. To us, yoga is not about standing on your head, putting your feet behind your neck or attaining specific poses! Yoga is a personal journey and as such is part of the approach to achieving and maintaining health. All classes are suitable for beginners, with more advanced suggestions given to those who practice yoga more regulary.

There are plenty of other activities available for you to join in – walks, relax trips to the beach, excursions, lectures, SPA treatments, creativity classes, workshops, riding horses, snorkling, paddling, and meditation . Join in as many or as few activities as you choose. These activities are all included in the price of your retreat. The workshops are designed to help you gain balance in your life and feel more confident. For people wanting more in-depth or personalised attention, coaching or private lessons are also available for an extra cost.

Also available is an experienced therapist who offer included treatments and a selection of a massages. These treatments can help you to rebalance and leave you feeling completely relaxed and at ease.

Whether you are travelling alone, with friends or in a group, Cocoon Eco welcomes you. Group sizes vary throughout the year, but whatever time of the year you visit, you will feel the warmth as soon as you arrive. The maximum size of group is never more than 18 people. Our rooms are generally available on a shared basis, so if you are travelling on your own, we will match you in a room with someone of the same sex and, where possible, a similar age.
