Our Services
A detached villa surrounded by greenery, complete with a chill-out area and yoga deck. We offer both private rooms and shared dormitories to suit every travel style. A large, fully equipped kitchen, a shared lounge with a sea view, a covered terrace, and a BBQ area are available for sharing special moments.
Whether it's mountain biking, gravel, enduro, or a pumptrack, we just need two wheels and handlebars. Explore the most beautiful places in Asturias alone or in a group. Morenz can be your guide if you like: together, you'll choose the type of route, duration, and difficulty based on your level.
Are you a beginner? Don't worry: Playa de Aguilar is the ideal spot to learn and improve; we work with local schools and certified instructors. Already an independent surfer? You'll be spoiled for choice between renowned spots like Salinas (just 15 minutes away) and hidden gems along the Asturian coast.
Yoga is a journey into your inner world. With Ali, you'll practice Hatha-Vinyasa Flow sequences, adapted to your level, to restore balance and awareness. Release tension on our panoramic deck or, on special occasions, practice outdoors, immersed in nature and inspired by its energy.
