Soothe, Calm and Restore - Yoga Retreat

It’s with huge pleasure that I invite you in May 2025 to a very special yoga retreat at The Santillian, featured in The Telegraph as one of ‘the 30 greatest yoga holidays on the planet’ and The Times as ’the 20 best yoga retreats in the world’.

In other words, the venue is peaceful and utterly beautiful.

A tranquil retreat

After my previous retreat location at Cortijo Romero closed, I searched for one closer to Malaga airport with exceptional amenities, and I was fortunate to secure a date at Santillan for a small group (despite nearly full bookings next year).

Santillan is located in Southern Spain and is set in extensive, beautiful gardens with land that overlooks the mountains, with the valley gently rolling toward the sea in the distance. It was previously visited by the Dalai Lama, who recognised it as a place for spiritual healing.

The retreat is in early May and it’s one of the best months to visit the region, with warm temperatures in the low to mid-20s and more affordable flights compared to the high season (flights not included).

Organic dining, serene surroundings

The food at Santillan is mainly organic produce, either grown locally or sourced directly from the gardens and farm.

All the bedrooms are decorated to a high standard and come with quiet terraces that offer views of the sea, mountains, or gardens.

The three yoga spaces are particularly impressive, including an outdoor platform with views of the valley and the sea, and there’s also a wide range of indoor and outdoor facilities, including a saltwater swimming pool.

In addition, treatments and excursions are available, though not included in the price. Airport transfers are extra but easy to arrange and affordable.

Retreat testimonials

  • "Thank you for helping make this such a lovely week... I felt very welcomed after not feeling too well and I have loved (and felt very healed) with the chakra sessions. Thanks for sharing your spiritual experience and for bringing that energy into the group, and the opportunity to share too (and for being a great example and making it easier)! It has been great to see you in real life."

  • "Thank you so much for this retreat – it was wonderful. I loved every minute of it!!! So please, please do another one before too long.”

    SARAH B

  • “Thank you for the wonderful week and all your kindness towards me – whether in bringing me sustenance (material or spiritual), moral support… or just making me laugh my head off. My recovery journey has certainly had a boost! If a retreat is measured by what you take away with you then this one was a gem.”
