Training in the sun, sea swims after, and a private villa in the hills above the beach.

What training here feels like

Train

Morning sessions in the villa garden and on the coast, led by the coaches on your Escape. Warm air, big skies, no queue for the rig.

Recover

Sea swims off the beach, pool time in the hills and slow evenings on the terrace. Recovery is part of the plan, not a leftover.

Eat

A private chef cooks every meal at a Mediterranean table. Fuel for training, flavour for the holiday half of your brain.

Where you stay in Marbella

A private villa in the hills above the coast, with sea and mountain views. The whole villa is yours for the week.

It has seven bedrooms and was renovated in 2023. It is air conditioned throughout, with a private pool, gardens, terraces and an outdoor kitchen. We describe it and never name it, so your group keeps it to itself.

A day on the Med

The coast is right there, so we use it.

Swim off the back of a catamaran. Paddle board in calm water. Eat lunch at anchor, then head back for dinner at the villa.
