Need something to get you through the winter? The Serpies trip to Club La Santa returns in March 2027, and registration is now open. It runs for seven or ten days, with our own coaches and our own programme of running, cycling, swimming and rather a lot of socialising. For some of us it starts the racing season. For others it is simply the week that makes the winter bearable.
If you have never come before, ask anyone who has. Whether you are chasing a marathon time, training for a first triathlon, rebuilding fitness after an injury, or just swapping grey skies for blue ones, the trip has something for you. Train hard or train gently, try a sport you have never tried, and get to know the people you have only ever nodded to at a Wednesday session.
A deposit of £100 secures your place. The balance for accommodation and coaching will be due in early December. We will email you in early November to confirm that the website is open for balance payments.
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 should 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 a Serpentine club member to join the trip.
Rooms and prices
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. 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 are per person and depend on your sharing preference and the number of days of your stay. They include accommodation, coaching, the trip dinner on Wednesday 10 March and the social activities. They do not include flights, insurance, or meals other than the ones mentioned.
| Price per person | 7 days4-11 March 2027 | 10 days4-14 March 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Sole occupancy of a one-bedroom apartment | £1,468 | £2,018 |
| 2 people sharing a one-bedroom apartment | £813 | £1,068 |
| 3 people sharing a one-bedroom apartment | £573 | £738 |
| Coaching only (you book your own accommodation) | £168 | £168 |
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 to 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.

About Club La Santa
You will stay in recently upgraded, self-catering flats which can accommodate up to 3 people at Club La Santa. They are basic but comfortable with towels and bed linen provided. If you are unfamiliar with the resort, or have not been in the last few years, have a look at their website. Their brochure is also full of information.
Sports and activities
The potential for running, cycling and swimming is limitless. On top of this, 80 different sports are available (mostly at no extra cost) at Club La Santa. The resort has three 50m pools plus a closed lagoon for open-water swimming, kayaking, windsurfing 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 pickleball 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, aerial yoga, racket sports, TRX and more recently HYROX classes. All can be booked on site (note some classes carry an extra charge).
Physiotherapy and sports massage
The site has a Wellness Centre, which offers various treatments, massages and a spa. Those can be booked on site, prices vary. Please note that it fills 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-inflammatories).
Eating and 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 a 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.
Risk assessments
Whilst the Risk Assessments for our normal Club activities apply to many of the activities being held in Lanzarote, we have developed some specific Risk Assessments for certain activities in Lanzarote. Members joining the trip should familiarise themselves with the content.
