SPAIN RETREAT 2026
September 1-6th : Andalucía, Spain
You are warmly invited to join this five night/six day Yoga retreat set in a 200 year old Cortijo with 360 degree panoramic views of the rolling hillside and olive groves, in Andalusia, Spain. After wonderful retreats here in both 2024 and 2025, I jumped at the chance to host here again! Here you'll have the time and space to relax, unwind, reconnect with yourself but also connect with like minded others and, if the previous retreats are anything to go by, have lots of fun in doing so!
There will be plenty of Yoga to chose from, both morning and evening sessions, in addition to meditation, breathwork, workshops & guided journalling sessions, all fuelled by delicious home cooked vegetarian (and fish) buffets enjoyed al fresco (in the evenings to live piano music), watching the sun set over the horizon.
In the free day time that this retreat allows, relax by the gorgeous pool in the beautiful September sunshine (the area gets 300 days of sunshine per year - mornings are a delightful temperature for yoga, and afternoons perfect for sunbathing or an afternoon siesta), get stuck into a good novel in a hammock or in one of secret chill out areas, enjoy some peaceful alone time in the many little hidden areas that this 3 acre plot offers, take a walk/hike through the olive groves, take the dog (Olive) for a walk, take a day trip to Cordoba, enjoy a massage, enjoy a poolside cocktail or perhaps a little ping pong or table tennis is more your jam!
You can spend your days exactly as you wish here - this place has to be seen to be believed - it really is magical and at the same time, home from home!
