Lucia Yoga Center
Southern Spain
Here Comes The Sun Retreat in Southern Spain.
For an unforgettable adventure of movement, stillness, and connection in one of Spain’s most stunning natural settings. Whether you're craving clarity, community, or just a break — you’ll find it here, under the Spanish sun.
Our day begins with sunlight spilling through olive trees and a morning flow designed to awaken your body, heart, and mind. We will spend our days immersed in the natural surroundings of the Andalusia mountains with several included excursions to learn more about Spanish culture and customs. We will also offer several restorative yoga classes in the evenings to wind down, and a few fun (and informative) workshops interspersed throughout our time together. And of course...we will indulge our senses with delicious Mediterranean inspired meals

Our home away from home: Los Algarrobles Casa and Nature Reserve -supported by Lucia Yoga
We will travel about 90 minutes from Malaga into the hills of Andalusia to spend our week in sacred community and communion with nature. Whitewashed villages or Pueblos blancos serve as the gateway (and winding roads as guardrails) to our yoga retreat center, Los Algarrobales, as operated by Lucia Yoga.
Our center is nestled up to the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park which boasts over 125,000 acres of mountains, forests, water formations, and limestone caves. Immerse in the peace of nature while enjoying rural luxury accommodations in European farmhouse style, five swimming pools surrounded by breathtaking scenery and multiple hiking routes.
During your stay you will enjoy the spectacular views of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park and Lake Zahara- El Gastor, which can be seen from each of the houses.

FAQ

Add information here.
Our destination airport will be Malaga (AGP) and while there are no direct flights from the United States, many European cities can take you there. I recommend booking round trip to the best city in Western Europe and then booking round trip to Malaga separately - this gives you more flexibility in flights and is often cheaper. Also, Madrid is less than a 3 hour train ride from Malaga if you would prefer to stay on the ground. -

Every detail of the trip was handled gracefully from the moment we landed at the airport to our departure. It was so nice to be able to come on vacation without having to plan out much of anything. You could tell they put a lot of hard work and consideration into planning this trip & I feel so grateful to have been a part of it.
