The Venue

Nearest airports are Valencia (VLC) & Alicante (ALC). We can provide details of transfer options & recommend taxi firms.

We will create a WhatsApp group so you could arrange to travel with other guests (please note there is no obligation to join the WhatsApp group. You will only be added if you'd like to). 

Public transport is available from both airports, but is easiest & quickest from Valencia.

Absolutely! Days are planned so that you can take part in activities as well as having time to relax or explore as much as you like.

Lounge by the pool, read in the garden, walk to the beach, and enjoy quiet corners made for rest and reconnection. 

The beautiful sandy beach is a 15 minute walk or 5 minute e-bike ride away.

Each day includes a morning and late afternoon/evening activity, such as yoga, Qi Gong, conscious dance, True Rest® Meditation, a theraputic sound bath & workshop (TBC).

No, Suniai is free from alcohol, tobacco, and any other kind of drugs. 

Suniai means deep listening. We want to offer everyone the chance to fully experience this during their stay. Alcohol & drugs affect the mind & body & make presence, clarity & inner listening more difficult. They can also counteract the healing & balance people come here to find. Our purpose is to support you in discovering a healthy way of living. For this reason, we do not serve alcohol and kindly ask our guests to refrain from consuming it on site. This way, we can co-create the pure, safe, & conscious atmosphere that makes Suniai unique.
