A stay in the private villas at the Serra Nature eco-resort near Valencia feels as if nature itself is opening its arms to us. How can you connect even more deeply with your surroundings and ultimately with yourself? With the unforgettable nature experiences that can be booked through the resort. And that doesn’t just mean hikes and yoga in the Sierra Calderona.
Bird’s-eye view
Now and then, an outside perspective is needed to see things more clearly. Just a few minutes from Serra Nature, the Olocau Flight School offers various experiences for aviation enthusiasts, allowing them to view the national park from above—just like the resident common buzzards, short-toed eagles, or kestrels.
Off Road
Sometimes, you have to leave the beaten path to discover new terrain and truly grow. With the Jeep Tours, you can explore rivers, canyons, towers, and mountains while uncovering hidden spots and breathtaking landscapes in the Sierra Calderona.
What a ride
Looking for another way to get around? After a flight and a road trip, it’s time for a horseback ride. At the Equestrian Center Hípica Rueda, you can take lessons on-site or join guided excursions through the surrounding area. The horses are well adapted to the rocky terrain, and there are routes for both beginners and experienced riders. Somehow, the well-known saying about happiness being found on the back of a horse feels especially true here.
Hike and Bike
A mountain bike tour is a great option here in the nature reserve, where the mountains gradually slope toward the sea. Or simply lace up your hiking or running shoes and clear your mind step by step. Back at Serra Nature, we treat ourselves to a yoga session before settling down on the terrace with the infinity pool, taking in the landscape from yet another perspective—as if we were a part of it.
