Yoga and Meditation Retreat in the Andalusian Hills

Each day at Cortijo el Cachete follows a gentle rhythm of movement and stillness. Mornings begin with an asana practice in the shala, where you'll work on deepening flexibility and strengthening the body. After a substantial brunch, the middle of the day is free for swimming, reading, or wandering through the olive groves. In the late afternoon or early evening, you'll return to the mat for a second asana session, followed by a meditation practice as the sun dips below the hills.

The retreat is hosted by Becky, who learned yoga from her grandparents in Gujarat, India, and brings a joyful, down-to-earth approach to teaching. She's passionate about sharing the benefits of yoga and making it accessible to everyone, whether you're coming to the mat for the first time or have been practicing for years. Her personal training background adds a focus on strength and body awareness.

What sets this retreat apart is the setting. Cortijo el Cachete is a lovingly restored farmhouse, surrounded by 80 acres of olive groves and Spanish oak, with no other houses in sight. The property includes a 20-metre pool, a fire pit, an ice bath, and various seating areas, both inside and out. It's a place where you can truly get off the grid and connect with nature.

The food is another highlight. The in-house chef, Africa, prepares delicious plant-based meals using locally sourced, fresh ingredients. Breakfast is a large brunch after the morning practice, lunch is light (think homemade smoothies, juices, cakes, and snacks), and dinner is a proper two- or three-course meal. Throughout the day, coffee, tea, juice, water, and fruit are always available.
