Serpies Trip to Club La Santa, Lanzarote
5th to 15th March 2026
Each year, Serpentine organises a trip to Club La Santa, Lanzarote, for 7 or 10 days of training, relaxation and fun. The trip is open to all sports enthusiasts of all levels. Whether you are a runner, triathlete, cyclist, swimmer, a combination of any of these or just enjoy a multitude of sports, you will love it. Many Serpies have enjoyed the trip and return each year. For some it is the ideal start of the competition season, for others it is an opportunity to try new activities like road cycling or open water-swimming. The week is packed with activities and sessions led by our own coaches.
See the Activities page for an indication of what to expect on the trip, the variety of training that takes place, the running and cycling routes available. The cancellation policy is found here. The FAQ section tries to answer most of your questions about booking and logistics. You can also ask questions (and contribute answers and advice) in the Lanzarote group on the website. If you have any specific enquiries not answered there, please contact the organisers.
The Training Camp is open to all but non-members will need to become members to come along.
Typically, we have 75-90 Serpies on the Training Camp each year in apartments which can share up to three people. Those people who book early are most likely to get their sharing preferences.
Room Options for 2026
We have reserved a number of one-bedroom apartments for up to 3 adults (2 in the twin room, 1 in the lounge) with 1 bathroom and a terrace.
Prices for the 2026 trip are below. These are per person and depend on your sharing preference and number of days of your stay (7 or 10 days). They include the costs of accommodation, coaching, Wednesday’s dinner and the social activities. They do not include the costs of flights, insurance, meals other than the ones mentioned before.
| Price in £ per person | 7 Days 5-12 March 2026 | 10 Days 5-15 March 2026 |

Places are allocated on a first-come first-served basis. We will do our best to match your sharing preference, however you may be allocated a different sharing combination depending on availability and the cost of the trip will change accordingly. We will not allocate you in a higher priced flat without your prior agreement.
We have reserved a fixed number of apartments benefiting from an early bird discount. If the trip is full, we may be able to book additional rooms later but these will not attract the CLS early bird discount and will be more expensive.
Our 2026 Lanzarote trip is being organised by Innes Wright, Matt Fitzpatrick and Debbie Clarke.

The resort has three 50m pools plus a closed lagoon for open-water swimming, kayaking, wind surfing and stand-up paddle boarding. The 400m running track has recently been upgraded, there is also a fully-equipped gym, bouldering wall, tennis, padel and picketball courts together with badminton, squash and other internal courts. The Wellness Centre has jacuzzis, steam rooms, saunas etc. which can be booked on site for a small additional cost.
We are coming with our own Serpies coaches and a running, a triathlon and a social programme packed with activities (see a typical programme). In addition to the Serpie activities, Club La Santa offers a wide range of classes, such as pilates, yoga, racket sports etc. which can be booked on site (note some classes carry an extra charge), as well as other more ‘exotic’ classes such as TRX.
Physiotherapy and sports massage
The site has a Wellness Centre, which offer various treatments, massages and a spa. Those can be booked on site, prices vary. Please note that it fill up well in advance, so it is advisable to book early in the week.
A private doctor is also available on site, however you will have to pay for their time as well as any medication/bandaging (even basic anti-inflamatories).
Eating & Shopping
There is a supermarket on site (open daily 8am-8pm) which stocks a wide range of goods, including products which are gluten, sugar and/or dairy free. There is also a fresh bakery in the supermarket. As this is the only supermarket on site, prices may be close to London ones. There is another supermarket in La Santa town c. 2.5km away. You will also find 2 sports shops on site for any kit you may have forgotten.
Club La Santa has a number of bars and restaurants within the complex (see brochure). There are also good restaurants in La Santa village (20-minute walk or short bike or cab ride away), some of them have become Serpies’ favourites over the years. Flats also include kitchen for those who want to cook “at home”. Please note that we tend to organise 1 or 2 dinners on site for all participants.
Weather
The weather at that time of the year in Lanzarote is warm and sunny, with temperatures ranging between 15°C and 24°C during the day. Water temperatures average 18°C. However the climate is very changeable (in recent years we have had some serious cross winds with a bit of sand and rain thrown in for good measure for a couple of days) so be ready for all weathers.
