About us

We are CrossFinca

Two athletes, one dream: a holiday spot for everyone who loves fitness, sunshine and community.

Our story

How a dinner turned into a finca

In 2021 we spent five weeks together in the small village of Orxeta in the Valencia region. Over dinner one evening we realised that houses in Spain are far more affordable than in Munich. What a surprise!

Because CrossFit is what connects us, the idea came quickly: we would create THE holiday spot for fitness lovers in Spain. We viewed the first houses on that same holiday, and a little over a year later the dream had come true.

Since 2023 groups, camps and retreats have been coming to CrossFinca, and we feel proud every time another group sits by the pool after a workout.

Thank you, Jessi!

Jessi was there from the very beginning. She founded CrossFinca with us, put countless hours of work into it and inspired many guests with her energy.

Due to personal circumstances, our paths are now parting. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have put into CrossFinca and wish you all the best for the future. If you would like to keep following Jessi, you can find her on Instagram at @jessi_gets_stronger.
