A short week and total relaxation — is that possible? Yes, it is possible at the OCÉANO Health Spa Hotel in Tenerife. After a thick cold and a stressful flight because every seat was taken, we arrived at the OCÉANO in early October. Just the afternoon by the pool and the spectacular view of the Atlantic from our balcony brought our stress levels down. The OCÉANO is not a wellness hotel, but a health hotel, i.e., guests can take advantage of all kinds of therapeutic offers, almost according to F.X. Mayr fasting or be examined and treated by trained doctors. On the first morning I was drawn to the good air outside and I walked along the sea, accompanied by the sound of the sea – by which one is also “sung” to sleep at night. The breakfast afterwards tasted so much better: many fresh fruit, grain bread, delicious cheese, sliced vegetables, fresh eggs and much more convince even breakfast muffle.

 

 

Since I am personally not really a SPA fan, my husband tried it out for me with different massage techniques. He was completely enthusiastic about the quality and professionalism of the masseurs. I was then curious and signed up for a foot reflexology massage. I have done this many times in Asia. But this massage had nothing to do with what I knew so far. The massage covered the whole body at the beginning, later the legs and then the feet. I was deeply relaxed afterwards.

 

Actually, we had planned a lot for the six days, but then we could not decide to leave our refuge. Instead of the planned activities on the island, we did yoga, went to the gym, swam and just enjoyed the tranquility that the ambience in the hotel radiates.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The OCÉANO is my tip to quickly recharge batteries and a perfect location for even a short break from everyday life.
