Designed with leading personal trainer Nora Tobin, ‘Spring into Fitness’ is designed to help guests kickstart training and achieve their health and wellness goals. Tobin customises the package to each guest’s individual needs based around four elemental themes – Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water.

‘Earth’ includes outdoor activities such as scenic hiking and boot camps with grounding spa treatments such as ‘Life is Good’, an energising scrub infused with organic sugar, espresso and cacao with banana blossom. ‘Wind’, meanwhile, focuses on breathing and meditation techniques, with options including yoga classes and oxygen spa treatments.

For guests choosing ‘Fire’, Tobin suggests combining high intensity, calorie-burning activities such as kickboxing with a metabolism-boosting nutrition consultation and an invigorating ‘Aroma Stone’ massage. Drawing on the resort’s sweeping ocean views, ‘Water’ can include aqua aerobics; a choice of paddle boarding, kayaking or an invigorating ocean swim; and a hydrating spa treatment.

Whichever element inspires guests’ journey as they ‘Spring into Fitness’, Belmond El Encanto’s location in the Santa Barbara hills provides an idyllic backdrop. From an early-morning yoga session overlooking the Pacific Ocean to a scenic hike, this package is sure to inspire guests to meet their fitness goals all year long.
