Tila Braddock – Co Founder
Originally from St Albans I have lived here since 1985. I arrived to work as a windsurf instructor and I quickly fell in love with my surroundings. I’ve travelled to many places over the years, sometimes for months at a time but it’s always been Lanzarote that feels like home to me.
Daniel (Dani) Duque – General Manager
Born and raised in Lanzarote, Dani is Canarian through and through. His mum’s side originates from Tias and his father is from the island of La Palma. Having studied in the Uk, Austria and Netherlands he is fluent in English too.
We are family
From time to time you may catch more Braddock family members around the retreat! There are three more children, Gerome, Freddie and Monique, and they quite often enjoy helping out around the finca. Never a dull moment at the hub, and always plenty to do
