About venue
Our family run, Moorish-inspired retreat centre is nestled in the Alpujarra mountains of Andalusia, Southern Spain. Since 2010, it has been a sanctuary for personal transformation, offering spaces designed to nurture the mind, body, and spirit. Surrounded by nature, guests can immerse in the stunning landscape, perfect for introspection and healing.
This retreat location hosts intimate groups of 10-20 guests, with a private apartment for leaders. Every space, from traditional yurts to luxurious Moroccan-inspired rooms, is thoughtfully designed with attention to detail, ensuring comfort and tranquility. All our rooms have the option to be set-up either in twin or double occupancy, depending on your group. We host retreats all year round due to our sunny and warm location but for the colder months, the main house features underfloor heating, while yurts have individual heaters so our guests are always comfortable.
Outdoor spaces, including gardens with ancient olive trees and local walking paths, offer opportunities for mindfulness, nature walks, and relaxation. Communal areas are filled with natural light and calming decor, fostering connection among guests.
Meals focus on nourishing, seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, with sustainability at the core of our values. We produce organic olive oil and are developing a permaculture food forest. Solar power, greywater irrigation, and a saltwater pool reflect our commitment to minimising our ecological footprint.
In addition, we offer various extras and activities. Such as a medicinal herb walk with a local herbalist who shares her knowledge of different wild herbs and plants on the land or a raw chocolate making workshop in our kitchen, learning the health benefits of raw chocolate whilst having fun and enjoying the taste of cacoa. We have a plethora of therapists offering alternative treatments. We can oganise trips to the beach, the mountains, waterfall walks, and guided tours of the local white villages to have a taste of the surrounding area. We can also organise Sound baths, classic Spanish guitar recitals or Storytelling for groups. Contact us to find out full details.
We provide a transformative experience for those seeking relaxation, personal growth, or a deeper connection to nature. Guests leave renewed and inspired, having reconnected with themselves and their environment.

We have two separate yoga spaces, one Mongolian Yurt that can have up to 22 guests plus the teacher or the Yoga Hall that can have up to 12 guests plus the teacher.

Unlike many other retreat centres, this place is run by people who have thoroughly understood how to put all of their love, (self-)awareness and own transformational work into every detail of the building and hosting. It sits on a stunningly beautiful location overlooking the Spanish mountains, the Mediterranean Sea and, if you're lucky, Morocco. We ran a Journey Intensive here. Having facilitated these intensely transformational workshops around the world since 2000, we can honestly say that there's not many other retreat centres that are capable of creating such an automatic energetic embrace as they t did. We'll be back!
