New Year Retreat 2026 at Suryalila, Andalusia

Suryalila's New Year Retreat is a six-day yoga and meditation retreat at Suryalila Retreat Centre in Villamartín, Andalusia, Spain, led by guest teacher Malva. It is for anyone who would rather spend the turn of the year practising, resting and sharing a table with good company than counting down in a crowd. The centre calls it its iconic New Year Retreat, and it is a place to renew, reflect and gather energy for the year ahead.

What to Expect

The week is built around yoga and meditation, with the Andalusian sunshine and unhurried time outdoors as part of the setting. Days are shaped by practice and by meals of organic food, so there is room to move, to sit quietly and to rest between sessions.

New Year's Eve falls within the six days and is meant to be a highlight of the week. Rather than a stand-alone party, it comes at the end of several days spent practising together, which gives the evening a different feel from an ordinary celebration. The aim is to reflect on the year behind you and step into the next one rested and energised, in what the centre describes as inspiring company and uplifting practices.

The Setting

Suryalila Retreat Centre sits in Villamartín, in the Andalusian countryside of southern Spain. The retreat makes the most of that landscape, with sunshine and a stunning natural setting alongside the practice. Meals are organic.

The centre also runs its own yoga retreats, teacher trainings and flexible stays throughout the year. This New Year gathering is a separate guest retreat with its own teacher and its own six-day shape.

Who It Suits

The retreat suits people who want a yoga and meditation holiday over the New Year period, whether they are looking for a reflective close to the year or a fresh start in warm surroundings. It is also a good fit for anyone who would like to be among other people over the holiday, but in a calm, practice-centred setting rather than a busy one.
