When did you last choose each other?

When we became parents, we gave everything to our children — and slowly disappeared as a couple. We were good at the logistics of family life, but we'd stopped truly seeing each other. One evening we realised we couldn't recall our last conversation that wasn't about the kids.

NESTEMA grew out of that ache — and out of the week that finally gave us our way back to one another. We built the retreat we ourselves needed.

Andra, founder of NESTEMA

Where families invest in themselves.

Join us for seven days of reconnection—not a getaway from family life, but a conscious choice to prioritize it.

  • Not intensive therapy.
  • Not an all-inclusive holiday.
  • Not a romantic escape.
  • Not a workshop vacation.

A space created for modern families who choose to invest in themselves.

It's for you if:

Not right for you if you're looking for a quick fix, or you're not open to doing the inner work.

Stay in a private finca in Tenerife.

Nestled within the historic Finca El Drago, our finca is a private sanctuary where ocean views and dramatic nature converge. With unique, historic apartments and a vast 8,000 m² garden, it's a space built for deep reconnection. Unwind by the saltwater pool or in the yoga shala, while the kids explore safely in an enclosed, expansive outdoor paradise.

You leave differently.

You go home reconnected as partners — with more emotional clarity and security, simple practices you can use anywhere, and the quiet memory that you are more than parents.

"This family reconnection retreat doesn't change you. It reminds you who you were. And who you can be together."

Frequently asked.

Where exactly is the retreat located, and how do we get there?
The retreat is hosted on a private, historic 8,000 m² estate nestled in La Orotava, Tenerife. Upon landing at Tenerife North (TFN) or Tenerife South (TFS) Airport, your private transfer will be waiting to take you directly to the finca.
Is this right for us if we're not in crisis, just a bit disconnected?
Yes — NESTEMA is designed for prevention, not crisis. It's for caring, capable couples who've simply drifted and want to find their way back before anything breaks. If you're in acute crisis, we'll gladly point you toward dedicated therapeutic support instead.
What happens with the kids during couple sessions?
While you're in couple or individual sessions, your children are with our children's specialist in a dedicated, age-appropriate programme — cared for, engaged, and close by. Family moments are woven through the week too.
What ages are the children's activities designed for?
This family reconnection retreat experience is for all ages, including babies, children, pre-adolescents, teenagers — everyone is welcome.
Is the finca safe for very young children?
The finca is private and enclosed, so little ones can move freely in a secure setting. Confirm specific safety details — pool fencing, supervision, etc.
How is the schedule split between family time, free time and workshops?
We have intentionally designed this family luxury retreat to balance deep personal restoration with meaningful family connection. Mornings typically feature adult wellness programming while children enjoy curated, supervised nature and play. Afternoons and evenings are beautifully blended for shared family experiences, free time, and dinners.
Can we join without children?
NESTEMA is built around families reconnecting together, so the experience is designed for couples who come with their children. If you'd like to attend as a couple only, message us and we'll see what's possible.
