Ayurveda

Ayurveda is the traditional healing system of India and is considered the world's oldest complete health system that is still in use. Today, thanks to the development of a more comprehensive view on medicine, philosophy, and spirituality, its popularity has soared in the west.

Ayurveda opens the consciousness and teaches that you are not only your body; this is a vehicle for the expansion of consciousness. It helps you to connect with your true nature and to see that the only real cure for diseases is the understanding of the self. It is a lifestyle, a way to learn how to cooperate with nature and to live in harmony with it.

Segaria Valley and Javea are divided by the Montgo mountain – said to resemble a sleeping elephant. The area is certainly spectacular and offers a number of walking routes. Benimeli is on the coast and the 20 km of beaches (15 min. by car) are of very high quality. Every year the beaches are awarded the European Blue Flag for their water quality and clean fine sand.

Les Rotes is a nature area with no boats allowed and has a variety of marine life to see. Snorkeling and scuba diving are very popular in this section of Denia. This part of the coast is protected including the natural dunes, caves, plants, and wildlife. A footpath allows you to walk from Denia marina all the way to the lighthouse which is a few kilometers.
