Peaceful retreat in nature on La Gomera, Canary Islands

About Finca Argayall

Finca Argayall is one of the best kept secrets of the Canary Islands. This magical venue is set on the ocean in a secluded bay enveloped by cliffs and surrounded by a spectacularly diverse landscape. The contrast of the rainforest, unspoilt beaches and small fishing towns makes a visit to the island of La Gomera a full and rich experience.

The venue itself runs as a working community with a spiritual ethos for growth and welcomes others to experience this beautiful and unique life. There is an organic farm, tropical gardens, a natural spring, two swimming pools and the beach a few steps away.

With access very limited only by sea or along the closed road following a rockfall, the Finca offers the perfect setting for those with an adventurous spirit looking to immerse in a remote retreat. An environment where you can fully detach, unwind, connect with nature and find resource and new energy.

Retreat programme

The morning classes will gently expand the body & breath & build into a flowing dynamic sequence, before returning to stillness. Each session will primarily focus on one of the chakras ~ exploring the associated physical, energetic, emotional and mental qualities. This awareness will allow you to develop strength and flexibility while gaining valuable insights that nurture your life.

The afternoon sessions will explore the space from which you can hear your heart's messages. Through the chakra and elemental systems, freeing movement, sound healing, yin yoga, mantra, singing, meditation and more. You’ll be encouraged to connect with your heart, light up your intuition, and ignite the fire in your belly, ready for aligned action!

There will be one yoga free afternoon during the week to allow time to take a trip or rest and restore. There will also be the opportunity to join the Finca's own meditations and other offerings should you so wish.

Arrival to the Finca will be on 29 March and departure on 5 April and you might want to consider extending your stay before and after, either with extra nights on Tenerife or La Gomera or at the Finca. This will ease the arrival and departure between the Finca and the local town of Valle Gran Rey which must take place in daylight hours.

Things to do

There will be morning and evening classes each day and one yoga free afternoon. Between classes days can be spent relaxing by the pool or you simply take a few steps onto the beach and take an invigorating swim in the ocean, which is possible most of the time but it can be too rough in the winter months.

The Finca is a place where personal space is respected and there are many quiet places in the tropical gardens or looking out to the sea, perfect for reflection, journalling and deep contemplation without distraction.

The wonderful healers in the community are often able to offer massage and homeopathic treatments at an additional cost. For the yoga free afternoon there's an optional whale and dolphin watching boat trip.

This retreat is a wonderful opportunity to take some time for yourself, to restore and nourish mind, body and soul in the truly healing environment of La Finca.

Accommodation & food

Throughout each day you will be offered three nourishing vegetarian meals made with produce from the Finca's own organic garden or sourced locally.

The Finca offers a selection of uniquely designed rooms. The garden view rooms are quiet, comfortable and prettily decorated with a shared shady veranda that overlooks the tropical gardens. Bathroom facilities are close-by and shared.

The charming and comfortable garden huts are spacious and airy with a private seated area outside. They are set in the lush green gardens with the serene sounds of bird song and the sea.

The seaview rooms have doors that open out onto a shared veranda with stunning ocean views. These rooms have en suite bathroom facilities.
