Retreat Yourself 5, 6 or 7 nights at Suryalila (from 24 Jul)

Retreat Yourself is a flexible yoga retreat at Suryalila Retreat Centre in Villamartín, Cádiz, Spain, where you choose a stay of five, six or seven nights and shape it around your own pace. It suits anyone who wants daily yoga and real rest without following a fixed group programme: solo travellers, friends, people who want a quiet reset, and those who would like to add a little adventure or healing work. The Suryalila in-house teachers lead the yoga.

What to Expect

Where Suryalila's guided retreats follow a set schedule, Retreat Yourself lets you build your own experience around a core of daily yoga. Alongside the classes you have time to rest, walk, spend time in nature and simply recharge.

Beyond that foundation, you pick what suits you. Holistic treatments are part of the offering, and optional add ons are available for those who want more activity, adventure, healing or a deeper level of immersion. Some guests will fill their days, others will do very little, and both are in keeping with the spirit of the stay.

Meals are organic and vegetarian, so the rhythm of the day is built around practice, good food and unhurried time outdoors.

Who Leads It

The yoga is taught by the Suryalila in-house teachers, the resident team who guide classes at the centre throughout the year. Because they teach here regularly, they know the space and the setting well, and the classes are offered as part of the daily rhythm of the centre rather than a single guest-led programme.

The Setting

Suryalila Retreat Centre sits in Villamartín, in the province of Cádiz in Andalusia, southern Spain. The surrounding countryside includes Andalusia's natural parks, which the centre uses for outdoor activities and which give the stay its quiet, rural character. The sunshine and open landscape are a large part of why people come to rest here.

Before You Go

You choose the length of your stay: five, six or seven nights. Daily yoga and organic vegetarian meals are part of the retreat, and holistic treatments and add on experiences are optional extras you can select to suit your own interests. Because you design the retreat yourself, it works well whether you are new to yoga and want a gentle introduction or already practise and want a restful place to continue.
