Who It's For
MasQi, The Energy House suits guests looking for a yoga and meditation retreat in Spain where the pace is set by the guest — a restored 19th-century farmhouse in the Sierra de Mariola with just 11 rooms and a geodesic yoga dome by the pool. It's particularly suited to:
01
Those wanting to move at their own pace
Daily yoga and meditation in the dome, one-to-one therapies and time outdoors — no pressure to fill every hour, joining in or being still equally valid choices.
02
Guests drawn to holistic and energy-based therapies
Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, kinesiology, Kundalini, sound baths and Reiki — delivered individually in the Massage House, adapted to each guest's needs.
03
Solo travellers seeking quiet and space
Just 11 rooms — guests connect gently and organically rather than in a group setting, comfortable for those who want connection without obligation.
04
Anyone wanting to eat well and slow down
Bio-gourmet meals using organic, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, following macrobiotic principles — a quiet, considered part of the day.
Hotel Facilities
MasQi is set within a restored 19th-century farmhouse in the Sierra de Mariola Natural Park, with gardens, an outdoor pool and direct access to walking trails through the surrounding countryside. Daily yoga and meditation take place in the retreat's geodesic dome by the pool — an open, light-filled space that works in most weathers. A library and communal lounge are available for quieter moments indoors, and the kitchen hosts occasional cooking workshops and demonstrations.
Wellness Facilities
Wellness at MasQi centres around a holistic, one-to-one approach, with treatments offered in the calm surroundings of the Massage House. Therapies draw on a range of traditions including Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, kinesiology and energy-based practices, alongside massage and facial treatments. Sessions are adapted to individual needs and can be built into any programme or booked independently during a stay.
There is no sauna, steam room or gym at MasQi — the focus is on nature, movement and stillness rather than spa facilities.
Dining
Dining is an integral part of the MasQi experience, with a focus on Bio Gourmet cuisine inspired by macrobiotic principles. Menus change daily and are prepared using organic, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Breakfast follows macrobiotic principles designed to be easy to digest and provide steady energy for the day ahead. Meals are light, nourishing and satisfying — mindful eating without a sense of restriction.
Good to Know
Accommodation
MasQi has just 11 individually styled rooms, all housed within the restored farmhouse. Rooms overlook the gardens and surrounding countryside, with some offering Sierra de Mariola views and others direct garden access. Interiors are simple and comfortable — natural materials, calm colours and enough space to rest properly without excess.
Location
MasQi is located in the Sierra de Mariola Natural Park, between Alicante and Valencia, set within a Mediterranean mountain landscape of forest, walking trails and open countryside. The village of Banyeres de Mariola is nearby, and the broader inland Alicante region offers medieval castles, local villages and natural swimming spots — including the Toll Blau waterfall and turquoise pool in the Vinalopó valley, around 20 minutes from the retreat. Alicante Airport is approximately 50 minutes away by road, with Valencia Airport also reachable in around an hour and a half.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of wellness retreats does MasQi offer?
MasQi offers holistic wellness stays centred on yoga, meditation and energy healing in Alicante — in a restored 19th-century farmhouse in the Sierra de Mariola Natural Park. Six programmes run from 3 to 21 nights covering detox, anti-stress, renewal, yoga and wellness, transformation and lifestyle change, each combining daily practices with one-to-one therapies and bio-gourmet macrobiotic cuisine. Guests are free to shape the day around sessions and treatments or simply rest.
What makes MasQi's wellness approach distinctive?
MasQi brings together yoga, meditation, energy therapies and mindful eating within a natural mountain setting — drawing on Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine and kinesiology alongside the quiet of the Sierra de Mariola landscape. The emphasis is on individual one-to-one work and time in nature rather than group programmes or spa facilities.
Is MasQi suitable for solo travellers?
Many guests travel to MasQi alone, drawn by the calm atmosphere and adults-only setting. The small scale — just 11 rooms — creates a naturally intimate feel, and guests tend to connect gently over shared meals and practices rather than in any organised social setting.
What kind of wellness activites are available?
MasQi offers a range of yoga styles, including Hatha, Vinyasa and Kundalini, typically held in the retreat’s yoga dome. Meditation, breathwork and sound-based sessions are also available, allowing guests to join practices according to their interest and energy.
How long should I stay at MasQi?
The shorter programmes — 3 and 5 nights — work well as an introduction or a focused reset. A week gives enough time to settle properly into the slower pace of the Sierra de Mariola and to feel the daily yoga and treatments do their work. The 21-night Lifestyle Change programme is for guests wanting to make more sustained changes to their daily habits with the support of the MasQi team throughout.
Is the cuisine at MasQi vegetarian or plant-based?
The cuisine at MasQi is primarily plant-based and macrobiotic, with menus rooted in organic, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. There are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, and occasional dishes with fish may be offered.
When is the best time to visit MasQi?
Spring brings wildflowers, mild temperatures and the walking trails through the almond and pine forests at their most rewarding. Summer is warm and dry with long evenings, and autumn brings a quieter atmosphere and cooler air. The yoga dome, indoor spaces and Massage House are available throughout the open season.
