Almeria Spain Retreat July 8th-15th
Almeria Spain Yoga Retreat with Finlay and Alan
Saturday 8th – 15h July 2023
We are delighted to announce our return to Almeria to the venue where we ran our last international retreat. Situated in Spain’s sunniest region, the venue is on the edge of one of Europe’s most beautiful national parks.
The Venue
The venue consists of the main house, which won awards in the 80’s for its striking modernist design. It sits in the semi-desert landscape amid lush gardens, its architecture echoing ancient Mediterranean civilisations. Its striking natural swimming pool is fed by spring water and filtered by reed beds. It has long been a stylish, bohemian family home, also an exotic venue for photo shoots.
Since our last visit, a new pool has been added by the yoga shala, new ensuite rooms added in the cortijos and the whole place given a refresh, so we cannot wait to take another group there.
Accommodation
The main house has two double en-suite bedrooms, and four twin ensuites. The cortijos have been converted in the original local style into charming accommodations, located a couple of hundred yards from the main house. The cortijo apartments have their own sitting room/kitchens (meals are served at the main house) with 6 twin en-suite apartments. All accommodation has air-conditioning.
Yoga
This retreat will include a morning yoga practice led by Finlay and an afternoon practice before dinner led by Alan. With up to 14 classes, both instructors will bring a balance or restoration and reinvigoration and you can do as many or as few classes as you wish.
Meals
Meals are vegetarian by default, served buffet style with fresh local produce, and include breakfast, lunch and dinner. The meals are healthy and varied, with plenty of choice. If requested we can provide the group with one or two meals during the week with fish or chicken. We can cater for gluten and dairy free diets and for medical allergies. However, we regret we can’t cater for personal preferences or complicated special diets.
Flight and Transfer Information
Malaga airport is 2 hours and Almeria airport is 30 minutes from the Finca. The only flights are to Malaga airport from Scotland. For the rest of the UK, there are flights from London Stansted and several other regional airports.
The venue can arrange transfers between Malaga & Almeria and the Finca which typically work out between €30 and €65 per person to include both ways, depending on the number of passengers and number of transfers required to meet flights. We average the cost so everyone pays the same. The driver waits outside the exit (the airport is tiny) with a Huzur Vadisi Logo sign.
It works best and keeps costs down if people can join an existing flight. We will liaise with you about this so that everything is as smooth as possible.
