Whether you’re looking for a gentle incline or a taxing summit to climb, we can recommend the best walks in our area, from emblematic places like the Oma Forest to trekking in Urkiola Natural Park and historic settlements such as Forua.
BIRDWATCHING
We are in privileged territory for birdwatching, both migratory and native. The Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve is a hotspot of biodiversity and home to 250 different bird species. Must-see spots are the Arteaga wetlands and Busturia observation points, as well as the Urdaibai Bird Center. We can arrange for a wildlife guide should you wish to book one.
MASSAGE IN THE FOREST
Nature surrounds us here at the hotel, but with this unique wellness experience we take you deep into it. A private massage in the forest surrounded by oak and fir trees, set to the song of the birds and the flow of the river... a real pleasure for the senses.
Subject to weather and availability, advance booking is required. In the event that the weather does not allow it to be carried out in the forest, it is carried out in the room.
