Yes, it is suitable for painters of all levels.

A detailed list of art materials recommended by artist Nurdebof will be provided upon booking when our retreat is guaranteed.

Masking tape, A3 hartboards and paper towels are provided.

The private room offers a comfortable space, ideal for relaxation and reflection. It's equipped with a cozy bed, ample storage for your belongings, and is decorated to create a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere.

The shared double room features two single beds, storage space for personal belongings, and is designed to provide comfort and privacy for both guests.

All our rooms includes cleaning service, sheets, towels and toiletries.

In the villa there is a luminous art studio, a swimmin pool and a 24h available well-fitted kitchen. Guests will find a refrigerator, kitchenware, a microwave, a toaster, a tea and coffee maker.

It includes 3 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 3 dinners, all meticulously prepared by our private chef.

We cater to gluten-free diets and other allergies or dietary intolerances upon request.

Regular, vegetarian, vegan, diabetic, gluten-free, and lactose-free diets are catered for. Please get in touch in advance so we can discuss your dietary requirements and plan them with our personal chef.

Unfortunately, the retreat venue and trips are not well suited to host people with limited mobility.

This retreat is available in English. We are also fluent in Spanish so don´t worry if English is not your first language.

The weather in Lanzarote is sunny and warm. You can expect average highs of 24°C during the day that drop to around 17°C at night. Lanzarote enjoys very mild winters and warm summers, and very little rain throughout the year. It is a windy island so bring a coat with you to protect from it.

Please pack appropriate clothing, sunscreen, a swimsuit, a beach towel, flip flops, a coat for evenings and nights, comfortable shoes, a sun hat and sunglasses, personal care items, and any personal medication you might need.

During the retreat, yes. We take you to the different places where we create, and that's part of the price.

Getting to Lanzarote and transfers to and from the airport aren't included, unless the retreat page says otherwise.

A host's tip. Public transport in Lanzarote is limited and taxis are expensive. If you'd like to explore the island during the free time in the retreat, we suggest teaming up with other participants and sharing a car. Write to us and we'll help you find people to join.

To ensure a smooth and transparent reservation process, here's a breakdown of our payment system:

• To secure your place in the retreat, a 100 € payment is required. Once your spot is reserved, we will reach out via email with additional details about the retreat. We recommend holding off on your flight booking until the retreat is guaranteed, as this is subject to a minimum participant requirement.
  
• Once the retreat is guaranteed, we will notify you by email and recommend that you proceed with your flight bookings.
  
• Retreat payment. The remaining balance for the retreat is due 45 days before the start date. We will send you a reminder a few days prior to this deadline for the remaining payment.

Yes, absolutely. If we're the ones cancelling, you get back everything you've paid.

That said, we rarely get to that point, because we don't cancel for lack of participants. If a retreat doesn't reach the expected numbers, we propose an adapted version that keeps the accommodation, the meals, the transport and the artistic guidance. You decide whether it works for you. If it doesn't, you cancel with no penalty and we refund you in full.

The same applies if we have to change something significant about what you booked. We tell you in writing, explain your options, and you decide.

Refunds are paid by the same method you used and within a maximum of 14 calendar days.

You'll find the full detail in our Terms and Conditions and on the page setting out your key rights when you book a package.

One tip. Take out travel insurance with cancellation cover. We're responsible for our side, but if you're the one who has to cancel for a personal reason, that insurance is the only thing that covers what you've paid, including your flights.

Once your booking is confirmed, here's what happens if you need to cancel.

• Cancel 90 days or more before the retreat and you get everything back, including the 100 € you paid to reserve your place.
• Cancel between 89 and 45 days before and we refund 75% of what you've paid.
• Cancel between 44 and 30 days before and we refund 50%.
• From 29 days onwards we can't offer a refund. Even so, tell us what's happened. Our team will look at your situation and find the best way forward within what's in our hands.

If something serious and outside anyone's control happens at the destination, you can cancel at no cost whatever the timing. You'll find the detail in our Cancellation & Refund Policy.

We sincerely recommend looking for a room at Pitaya Coliving in Arrecife, a place with unique energy co-livers. If you prefer something on your own, we suggest searching for apartments in Costa Teguise, a well-located town close to the sea.
