About the retreat center

The retreat center is set in the heart of a secluded green valley and surrounded by the dramatic beauty of the Andalucian Mountains. It’s just 40 minutes away from Malaga airport, but a world away from the stresses of urban existence.

The Yoga and wellness retreat is designed to have minimal impact on 18 acres of unspoilt land, in harmony with the natural beauty of Spain’s Pizarra Mountains. Hidden away in a valley, reached only by a 4km track that winds through the orange and lemon groves, it is surrounded by breathtaking views, vibrant flora and fauna, caves, mountain streams, springs and even a waterfall.

Accommodation

The main house, El Romero, is a beautifully restored traditional Andalucian finca, with room for 13 guests. It has seven bedrooms, a large kitchen and lounge area and a huge wood burning fireplace used during the colder months. However, for holiday guests who want the full Spanish sensory experience of the mountains at night, our two large teepees bring you closer to Cartama’s nature, as do our 2 new ME-Pods (5.5m diameter 3.5m tall solid domed structures) and the three Geodesic domes.

The teepees and ME-Pods are clean, spacious and very comfortable, with tiled floors, electricity and beautiful bedding, perfect for those with an affinity for the outdoors, but who don’t wish to compromise on comfort. Each is connected with paths winding amongst the almond and olive groves, picked out with solar lights. They all have beautiful views across the valley, the stars glittering, a Spanish night breeze whispering through the trees, the sounds of crickets and cicadas lulling you to sleep.

The retreat venue has dogs and cats. They are very friendly and are all rescue animals. They are not allowed in the house, but it is difficult to keep them out of the Teepee and geodesic domes. They are very much part of the retreat,
