A Retreat to Create Your New Beginning


Welcome to a space where growth begins—at the inspiring Hotel Abaco in Altea. Once an 18th-century bakery, this historic gem embodies the spirit of creativity and care. 

Much like the baker who woke each day to knead, shape, and create something extraordinary from simple ingredients, this retreat invites you to craft something new for yourself—your vision, your energy, your path forward.

Set under Mediterranean skies, this retreat is designed to provide moments of calm for you to pause, reflect, and recharge. The practices throughout the retreat are reflective, participative, and thought-provoking, guided by the Nova Terra themes: Connect, Engage, Explore, Create.

As our inaugural gathering, this retreat offers a transformative journey where you’ll ground yourself in meaningful practices, gain fresh perspectives, and ignite a renewed sense of purpose. At its heart is Hotel Abaco Altea, a place of timeless charm and inspiration. From the moment you arrive, the warmth of this space will remind you: this is your time to reconnect, reimagine, and renew.

A Journey of Reflection, Creativity and Connection

This retreat is eligible for 25 hours CPD.

Guided meditations to cultivate calm and mental clarity    
Invigorating nature walks along Altea’s stunning coastline
