Retreat Yourself 5, 6 or 7 nights at Suryalila (from 28 Aug)

Retreat Yourself is a flexible yoga retreat at Suryalila Retreat Centre in Villamartín, Cádiz, Spain, where you choose a stay of five, six or seven nights and shape the days around your own needs. It suits people who want daily yoga and good food without a fixed group programme, whether that means a quiet week of rest or one with more activity, adventure or healing work. The Suryalila in-house teachers lead the yoga, and this departure begins at the end of August.

What to Expect

Rather than following a set schedule, you design your own wellness retreat. Daily yoga is the anchor of each day, and around it you decide how much to do and how much to leave open. The stay combines yoga, organic vegetarian meals, holistic treatments, time in nature, and room to simply rest and recharge.

For those who want more, there are optional add-ons for greater activity, adventure, healing or deeper immersion. You choose the experiences that suit you best, so one guest might fill the week with treatments and outings while another keeps to yoga, meals and long quiet afternoons. The length is yours to pick too: five, six or seven nights.

This is the open, self-directed alternative to Suryalila's guided retreats, which follow a set timetable with a named teacher. If you prefer to set your own pace, this is the format built for that.

Who Leads It

The yoga is taught by the Suryalila in-house teachers, the resident team who teach at the centre. The teaching is the centre's own daily practice rather than the work of a single guest teacher.

The Setting

Suryalila Retreat Centre is in Villamartín, in the province of Cádiz in Andalusia, southern Spain. Time outdoors is part of the stay, whether you walk, sit in the sun or simply rest. Meals are organic and vegetarian, which keeps the rhythm of the days simple and nourishing.

Before You Go

The retreat is built around choice, so there is no set programme to prepare for. Daily yoga is part of the stay, along with organic vegetarian meals. Holistic treatments and the extra activities or healing sessions are optional additions that you pick according to what you want from your time there. Choose five, six or seven nights depending on whether you want a short reset or a longer stay.
