About the accommodation headquarters of the retreat:
El Sitio is situated between vineyards in the small village of La Frontera. Here in the northern part of the island, you can enjoy beautiful mountain views, the open ocean and the Golfo valley lying at your feet.
El Sitio – “The place”, is an open space integrated with the natural surroundings and community of El Hierro. We provide visitors with a peaceful environment for calming down body and mind. El Sitio is a canvas for people & ideas that both inspire and support El Hierro’s strategy of sustainable development, respect for the environment, culture and human dignity.
All of our “Casitas” are simple, individually designed casitas made out of traditional lava stone from El Hierro. From many places inside and outside of the houses you can enjoy great views of the sea, nearby vineyards and the mountains.
About the island:
El Hierro. The Zero Meridian Island
Since the year 2000, El Hierro is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and boasts one of the world’s most ambitious sustainability programs. Land speculation, inappropriate infrastructure and developments that do not respect El Hierro’s cultural and natural heritage are significantly limited. The island government has made a firm commitment, to not walk the path of irretrievable damage, which a lot of places on our neighboring islands have chosen with regards to tourism. Few places on the „Fortunate Islands“ have developed such a keen awareness for the delicate balance, with which tourism, conservation of nature and culture have to be handled.
