Going on a wellness retreat does not have to be a thing of the past- we just need to take adequate precautions against Covid-19. Look out for businesses that comply with International Health Standards. For example, the Ministry of Tourism of Andalucia endorses certain businesses in the tourism sector who comply with health standards set by the World Health Organisation (WHO). This certification called<\/span> Andalucia Segura<\/span><\/a> guarantees the hotel is a safe place to stay and all services are offered in complete safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guests can feel confident that all the required checklists have been met and ongoing inspections continue to ensure ongoing compliance. The certification can be withdrawn at any stage if the establishment fails to comply with any of the standards set by the Ministry of Tourism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shanti-Som has been awarded the<\/span> Andalucia Segura certificate<\/span><\/a> and continues to uphold the high standards of health and safety every day throughout the hotel facilities and services. During a time of pandemic it is even more important to keep improving our health and mental wellbeing, so a stay at a holistic wellbeing retreat is the perfect antidote.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition residents of Andalucia can enjoy 25% off when booking with a Anadalucia Segura certified travel agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BOOKING A HOLIDAY DURING A PANDEMIC-<\/b><\/h2>\n

When choosing your next holiday destination you will want to consider what safety precautions the hotel is taking, how crowded it will be and what activities there are that minimize the risk of COVID-19. You want to avoid choosing a holiday with a lot of busy tourist attractions, a large resort style hotel with lots of guests or where the weather only allows indoor activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shanti-Som<\/a> is an intimate 15 room retreat located in the remote Andalucian hills- around us there are no busy restaurants, shops or crowded attractions. Activities at Shanti-Som Wellbeing Retreat are outdoors and held in small groups to ensure the safety of all guests whilst maintaining a relaxed holiday feeling- after all you don\u2019t want to be constantly reminded of a pandemic. The point is to indulge in blissful seclusion in our hideaway in the hills.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike the rest of Europe, the South of Spain enjoys a mild winter with<\/span> Andalucian temperatures<\/span><\/a> ranging from 15-24 degrees from October \u2013 December.<\/span><\/p>\n

SHANTI-SOM COVID-19 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS-<\/b><\/h2>\n
