Mediterranean Yoga & Wellness Co-Living Retreat in Costa Blanca, Spain

Set in a private ten-guest villa near Benissa, a small inland town on the Costa Blanca with 4km of coastline linking Moraira and Calp, this co-living retreat runs through autumn with a different theme each week. You can join the Yoga & Detox Weekend (22–25 Oct), the Detox Week (26 Oct – 1 Nov), the Bloom Week of restorative practice (2–8 Nov), or the Yoga Marathon (8–10 Nov) — but you're also welcome to arrive on any day and stay as long as you need, from a few nights to over three weeks.

A typical day has no fixed start time. Mornings begin quietly — you wake slowly, sip something warm, and ease into a gentle breath-led vinyasa flow. Each day's practice builds on a theme: hip openers, backbends, spirals, strength and surrender. Pranayama and seated meditation follow. Afternoons alternate between deeper electives like yoga philosophy drop-ins, guided journaling prompts, and an Asana Lab where you break down inversions, backbends, and balances. Evenings wind down with a softer practice — Yin, slow flow, restorative — often ending in yoga nidra or a sound journey.

The Movement Lab mindset runs through the whole stay: morning Osho dynamic or power yoga to wake the nervous system, afternoon animal flow or vin-yin to reclaim mobility and grit, and sound healing in the evening. There's also a cold plunge setup for recovery. On weekends, guest teachers occasionally drop in for deep-dive immersions.

The villa is private and the group stays small — between three and ten participants — so it always feels personal rather than crowded. The curriculum is directed by Vanessa, who has over 700 hours of certification across Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Aerial, Kids, Prenatal and Postnatal, Ayurveda, Philosophy, Pranayama, and Meditation. Rafa, a former rhythmic gymnast and Karate practitioner turned personal trainer and Animal Flow instructor, leads movement and mobility sessions and also prepares the organic meals.

The location is deliberately quiet — a villa on the Mediterranean coast where you can walk to the sea, breathe the salty air, and reset before winter. Benissa is one of the oldest towns on the Costa Blanca, inland and peaceful, yet close enough to the beach towns of Moraira and Calp for day trips. This is not a party retreat; it's a place to practice, eat well, sleep deeply, and connect — a real reset.
