CAPILEIRA MOUNTAIN YOGA & HIKING RETREAT

Location: 

Join us for a wonderfully peaceful retreat at the beautiful Finca Los Lllanos, in Capileira, Spain.  A truly relaxing destination, located in the heart of the Alpujarra of Granada, in the surroundings of Sierra Nevada, which has been declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, a Natural Park and a National Park, above all for its botanical endemisms and its particular eco-culture.

You will be staying in the village of Capileira, with white washed houses and beautiful flowers everywhere.  The hotel is committed to protecting the natural environment in which it stands and this is reflected in the hotel grounds, which have their own vegetables, fruit trees, chickens and you will hear the goats on the mountains too!

This retreat is perfect if you want to escape from it all.  It offers peace, quiet and a chance to enjoy a slower pace for the weekend.  

Sam will be offering yoga in the morning, in the beautiful gardens looking at the stunning views, before breakfast, followed by hiking on one of the many trails in the area.  We won't be climbing any mountains, but there will be lots of walking.

Cost: 
£679-£839
Event Date:

Our Story - Why Capileira?

Last month, Marco & I wanted a peaceful trip away.  We both have busy jobs and wanted a quiet location in which to decompress and switch off.  We luckily stumbled upon Capileira, near Granada, Spain.  Capileira offered us solitude whilst hiking, we adored the peaceful villages, always beautiful with their bright pink flowers and white washed houses.  In Capileira we found true relaxation and now want to offer you the opportunity to enjoy this.  I enjoyed this area whilst studying Spanish in my twenties (many years ago!) and I've offered many retreats in the past in England.  We're so excited to offer our first Spanish retreat.

Sam, from the UK, has been teaching yoga, movement and womens health for over 20 years and has a thriving studio in the community in Weymouth, Dorset, UK.  Marco is originally from Brazil and is a wonderful chef and black belt in Brazilian Ju-Jitsu.  He enjoys the outdoor life with paragliding and hiking, whilst missing the heat of Brazil!

We would love for you to join us for a wonderfully peaceful retreat at the beautiful Finca Los Llanos, in Capileira, Spain.  A truly relaxing destination, located in the heart of the Alpujarra of Granada, in the surroundings of Sierra Nevada, which has been declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, a Natural Park and a National Park, above all for its botanical endemisms and its particular eco-culture.

This retreat is perfect if you want to escape from it all.  It offers peace, quiet and a chance to enjoy a slower pace for the weekend.  

Flights to Malaga from Bournemouth are on sale now, you can also travel from the London airports to Malaga or Granada. 

Sam will be offering yoga in the morning, in the beautiful gardens looking at the stunning views, before breakfast, followed by hiking with Marco on one of the many trails in the area.  We won't be climbing any mountains, but there will be lots of walking and exploring.
