Retreat Yourself at Suryalila, Andalusia

Retreat Yourself at Suryalila is a flexible wellness retreat at Suryalila Retreat Centre in Villamartín, Andalusia, Spain. Rather than following a fixed programme, you build your own stay around daily yoga, choosing the length and the experiences that suit you. It is led by the Suryalila in-house teachers and suits anyone who wants a yoga retreat in southern Spain with room to rest, move at their own pace, or add more activity.

What to Expect

The idea is simple: you design your own wellness retreat. Daily yoga is the common thread, and around it you decide how full or how quiet your days become. The stay is offered as 5, 6 or 7 nights, so you can match it to the time you have.

Alongside yoga, the retreat brings together organic vegetarian meals, holistic treatments, time in nature and space to simply rest and recharge. For those who want more, there are optional add ons for greater activity, adventure, healing or deeper immersion. You can keep things gentle and unhurried, or fill the week with extras.

This is a different shape from Suryalila's guided retreats, which follow a set schedule with a particular teacher and theme. Retreat Yourself is the open option: the yoga is there each day, and the rest is yours to choose.

Who Leads It

The yoga and the experience are held by the Suryalila in-house teachers, the resident team who teach at the centre. The material does not name individual teachers for this retreat, so you will meet them on arrival and in the daily classes.

The Setting

Suryalila Retreat Centre sits in Villamartín, in the Andalusian countryside of Spain. The surroundings are a large part of the appeal: natural parks nearby, open landscape and a rural, restful atmosphere that suits a few days away from routine. Meals are organic and vegetarian, and holistic treatments are available as part of the offer.

Before You Go

Retreat Yourself is designed to be flexible, so it works for people at different levels of experience who want daily yoga without a rigid timetable. You choose between 5, 6 or 7 nights and then decide which optional add ons, if any, you would like to include.

Weekly arrivals run through the year, so you can pick a start that fits your plans. Some weeks fill up early, and a few have already sold out, so it is worth planning ahead if you have a particular week in mind.
