View all pictures

Summary

This yoga retreat is an invitation to listen to your inner self and discover the vastness of the south within you. While temperatures here are still cool at this time of year, you’ll be basking in the sun in southern Spain. Temperatures rarely drop below 20 degrees, and surrounded by the golden hills and quiet nights of Andalusia, you’ll immerse yourself in daily yoga practice, meditation, and powerful rituals. This retreat brings you into contact with your inner light—clear, gentle, and vibrant.

Treat yourself to spring in the magnificent landscape of Andalusia, let yourself be inspired by the Andalusians’ zest for life, and rediscover your true potential. You are welcome even if you haven’t practiced much yoga yet. We cater to each participant so that you can find plenty of time for relaxation and leisure. We will have a small, intimate group all to ourselves at the villa, which is situated on a hill, allowing us to focus entirely on yoga and the needs of the participants. At the same time, we can also go down to the first level of the El Morisco complex and enjoy all the amenities of the Casa. We’ll enjoy our meals at the finca, which is just a few steps away from the villa. This is a certified retreat, and health insurance plans typically cover up to €150. Christine and Simin look forward to seeing you!

Accommodation

Villa el Morisco is idyllically situated on a hill in the Andalusian countryside of the Costa del Sol. Mango and orange trees grow all around. The villa features 7 double rooms (which can also be used as single rooms), a beautiful garden, and an infinity pool. The sauna features a glass front with a view of the sea. The villa is located about 1 kilometer from the sea, a roughly 20-minute walk. Feel free to check out the website, where you’ll find many photos of the beautiful surroundings. Single room: €970 per person, depending on size, including meals; Double room: €795 per person, including full board

Catering

There are three meals a day, but you can help yourself to the buffet all day long. There are salads, fresh foods, and everything your heart desires. In the evening, wine and beer are included. You can also make tea and coffee throughout the day.

We will have our meals at the finca. The El Morisco estate has three levels. On the first level is the Casa, above that is the finca, and at the very top, perched on a hill, is the villa. We can use all of these spaces as we please.
