Shanti-Som Wellbeing Retreat

What Shanti-Som Wellbeing Retreat does

Shanti-Som Wellbeing Retreat is a boutique wellness retreat founded in 2011 and operated as a Sociedad Limitada (B92586155) in Monda, near Marbella in the Sierra de las Nieves UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Málaga, Spain. The property offers 15 guest rooms and runs eight structured retreat programmes — Yoga, Pilates, Detox, Relaxation, Healing, Weight Loss, Sleep Well, and Day Retreat — serving individual wellness travelers on multi-night, all-inclusive stays. Programming is delivered by certified yoga teachers, fitness instructors, spa practitioners, wellness coaches, and named specialists such as sleep expert Kathryn Pinkham, and the Sleep Wellness Programme is built on CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia), signaling a science-informed approach rather than a purely lifestyle positioning.

The company runs a direct-to-consumer go-to-market with no intermediaries, monetizing through integrated programme fees (€140–€595/night), accommodation (€170–€295/night), spa treatments, a restaurant, and the newly introduced day-retreat and half-day passes. The technology stack supporting this funnel is conventional hospitality and marketing SaaS — Mews property management system, HubSpot CRM, Google Analytics, and a content infrastructure of Storyblok and Vercel that powers an owned content library ("The Journal") used to drive organic acquisition.

A second, larger property (22 rooms) is under construction in the Algarve, Portugal, scheduled for 2027, representing the company's first geographic expansion in 14 years and increasing the operational footprint by roughly 47%. A LinkedIn-led corporate wellness positioning effort is underway, opening a B2B channel on top of the leisure traveler base. Firmographic headcount is reported at 6, which understates the apparent operational team across yoga, fitness, spa, wellness coaching, kitchen, and front-of-house functions.
