Zen if it was dreamt up on a council estate
If you come to the Lunas Yoga and Spa resort for some, as they say “slow travel” you might find that you will leave with your chakra’s so far misaligned they now resemble the pebble ash tray they say is the local beach.
On arrival expectations were high as we thought after two weeks on the road through Europe this would be our opportunity to relax and reset before the last leg of or trip. Instead we found that we would not be staying in the ‘yoga and spa’ hotel as we thought but in fact the 3* family oriented hotel adjacent. Further more, the double bed we had booked might look suspiciously like two single beds, like we were 8 year old children in boarding a school. We were then told that we could pay an additional £120 to “upgrade” our room to the spa side of the hotel and get our double bed. This made no difference finding ourselves transported back to the 1980s with the eras defining styling and decor.
Our day begins as you would expect on your Yoga and relaxation stay, with some of the younger cohorts of yogis returning from what I can only assume was a late night meditation session in the local town at 2.30 am through what I can only assume is rice paper walls separating the rooms. We try and return to our slumber ‘zen’ing’ away the sounds of teenage vomiting in the adjacent rooms.
As the sun rises so do we (but a few hours behind the sun, it is slow travel after all). We make our way down
