Yoga & sunshine in Andalusia, Spain

About Suryalila

Originally an olive hacienda, Suryalila is an award winning retreat centre nestled in the heart of Andalusia, between the charming white villages of Villamartín and Prado del Rey. Surrounded by rolling hills and overlooking the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, it offers a peaceful sanctuary where nature, comfort and wellbeing come together.

Ideally located, Suryalila is within easy reach of some of southern Spain's most beautiful destinations, including the historic cities of Seville and Cádiz, the dramatic clifftop town of Ronda, and the golden beaches of the Costa de la Luz.

Beautifully designed accommodation, stunning yoga spaces, a natural saltwater pool, Finnish sauna, a wholesome cafe, an enchanting boutique and delicious organic vegetarian cuisine create the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect and simply enjoy being present.

Retreat programme

Each day will begin with morning yoga to gently expand the body and breath, building into a flowing, dynamic sequence before returning to stillness. Suitable for all levels, Kate's classes will offer plenty of options, whether you're new to yoga or have an established practice.

Evening sessions will invite you to slow down with a more restorative practice, creating space to unwind, stretch deeply and fully absorb the benefits of the retreat.

Classes will take place in Suryalila's beautiful yoga shalas, including the iconic Om Dome, an inspiring space with breathtaking views across the Andalusian countryside.

Between classes, there will be plenty of free time to relax by the natural saltwater pool, read in a hammock beneath the trees, explore the surrounding countryside or simply savour the peace and beauty.

One day is left completely free to explore Andalusia or simply enjoy the retreat centre at your own pace.

Arrival is on 3 April (any time before 9 pm) and departure is after breakfast on 10 April.

Things to do

Between classes the days will be yours to enjoy. Unwind by the natural saltwater pool, indulge in a restorative massage or holistic treatment, stroll along Suryalila's peaceful Pathless Path – a scenic 30 minute walking trail that winds around the property, inviting you to reconnect with nature and enjoy gentle movement – or simply curl up with a book beneath the Andalusian sun.

For those wishing to explore, Suryalila is perfectly positioned to discover the beauty of southern Spain. Join the much loved River Walk, a refreshing adventure through crystal clear waters, hidden waterfalls and natural bathing pools, hike in the breathtaking Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, visit the dramatic white villages of Arcos de la Frontera and Ronda, spend a day wandering the historic streets of Seville or Cádiz, or combine a visit to Cádiz with an afternoon on one of its beautiful sandy beaches.

Accommodation & food

Stay in one of Suryalila's beautifully decorated rooms, charming eco casas, peaceful yurts or unique mini domes, each thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, character and a deep connection with nature. A range of accommodation options is available, from shared rooms to private ensuite rooms, making it easy to choose the style that suits you best.

Every day you'll enjoy three abundant vegetarian meals prepared with seasonal, organic ingredients, many harvested directly from Suryalila's own permaculture gardens. Fresh, colourful and deeply nourishing, the cuisine is often one of the highlights of the retreat.

Vegan, dairy free and gluten free diets can usually be accommodated. As meals are served buffet style and prepared in a shared kitchen, the absence of cross contamination cannot be guaranteed. If you have food allergies, severe intolerances or highly restrictive dietary requirements, please get in touch before booking so we can advise whether Suryalila are able to cater for your needs.
