      Location

      We are located in Plaka on the east of Crete, an hour’s drive away from Heraklion airport and a 20-minute drive away from the town of Elounda. The villa is across the road from Plaka beach. From the beach you can see Spinalonga island in the distance - a small fortress island with a rich history. Plaka offers a wealth of fitness, restaurant options and day trip opportunities.

      Accommodation

      The villa includes four houses laid out around a communal gym. Each house is laid out on two levels, with a double or twin bedroom, a bathroom and a private terrace on each level, as well as a lounge with open plan kitchen on the ground floor. The gym is right outside your front door and you can train there around-the-clock. All houses have free and reliable wi-fi.

      Gym & Training

      When you’re ready to take a break from work, our gym is yours to use. Here you will find all you need to carry on with your training while away from home:

      • A 7.2m Eleiko freestanding rig with thirteen pull-up spaces (seven muscle-up spaces)  and six squat stations;
      • Eleiko Sport barbells and plates for up to 15 people;
      • Functional fitness equipment for up to 15 people including dumbbells, kettlebells, sandbags, medicine balls, jump ropes, among others;
      • Concept2 Model D rowing machines;
      • Yoga mats and mobility tools;
      • 6 Paddle boards.

      For adventures a little further afield you can paddle to Spinalonga island in 10-15 minutes. Swimming is a round-the-clock option for you, particularly first thing in the morning when the sea is still. There are also two trails for you to walk or run up the mountain. Please note - the best times to train on land are in the morning and late afternoon when the sun isn't directly above you!

      I had a wonderful time; a jam-packed adventure holiday on a magical island. The accommodation felt like a home away from home plus an infinity pool with goats in the backyard and ginger the cat as extras! The itinerary was thoughtfully put together. I came back refreshed. Thank you MLA!

      I had the most wonderful time on the Train and Relax holiday in Crete! Flo our host was super friendly, helpful and really welcoming. I didn't know anyone in the group and had not been to MLA event before, but it was a very inclusive experience and would recommend to solo travelers. The accommodation exceeded my expectations and the range of activities was just the right balance and I was able to fully relax and enjoy the slower pace of life that the village of Plaka offered. I would rate the experience 10 out of 10 and I'm already planning my next MLA trip to Maderia!

      I had a great week. I met some lovely people, accommodation was first class and felt well look after throughout. It was so lovely to have the host join the group throughout the week both for meals and activities. Stella was an ace host and I look forward to another holiday with MLA! Thanks for a great week.
