5-Day Samudra Bliss Yoga and Wellness Retreat on Spain's Mediterranean Coast

Samudra Bliss runs out of a small beachfront boutique hotel in Mojácar, a historic whitewashed town on Spain's Almería coast. The hotel is set in lush gardens with a pool, Balinese beds, and direct access to a long, uncrowded beach. All rooms are en-suite with a private terrace, and several have a stone bathtub looking out to sea.

The daily schedule is unhurried. Mornings start with an invigorating yoga class—Ashtanga or Vinyasa—followed by a Mediterranean breakfast. Mid-mornings are for meditation, pranayama, and breathwork. After lunch there's free time to rest or explore, then a more restorative evening session of Yin or Yoga Nidra. One afternoon is given to the boat trip; another to the coastal walk.

The teaching team is led by Layla Dupont, who draws on classical Ashtanga, functional Vinyasa, and Ayurveda, and Ashli Mirela, with sound healing by Nicole Shields. Layla grew up in Patagonia and now lives on the Spanish coast; her classes are clear, warm, and grounded. She's been practicing for over a decade and is known for making yoga accessible to all levels.

Mojácar itself is quiet and unspoiled, far from the resort crowds further up the coast. The nearby Cabo de Gata Natural Park is one of Spain's last wild coastal areas—volcanic cliffs, hidden coves, and clear water perfect for the included boat trip and optional dives. The retreat runs in October, when the summer heat has eased and the town feels peaceful.
