You deserve the BEST, so X-Life has brought together a team of highly skilled professionals who are passionate about health, fitness, well being and sports to ensure your Escape to Fitness and Adventure is the holiday of a lifetime!
We want you to truly break free of the day-to-day! Here, you can kick-start, reboot or redefine your fitness. We’ll encourage you to escape your comfort zone with no outside distractions, whilst Team X-Life takes ultimate care of you at our luxury villa in the heart of the stunning desert island of Fuerteventura.
When it comes to fitness, motivation and mind-set are key, so we’ve limited our group size to a maximum of 12 like-minded escapees. You will have the chance to make lasting new
friendships or solidify existing ones while improving your fitness.
Explore the island or kick back in style beside the pool. Spend the afternoon on a catamaran and snorkel in the azure waters around the island, or perhaps try your hand at surfing or kitesurfing with our very own extreme sports athlete, Bruce.
If that doesn’t grab your attention, how about trekking or running with our coach, through the nearby volcanic peaks, or exploring a little further afield on a road bike or mountain bike?
Our passionate team will be there on-hand to ensure you THE experience and adventure of your life – whatever your ‘X’ we’ll make sure you have it!
