VENUE
Our previous retreat space that belonged to Stephanie’s grandfather has been passed on to new owners, and so we will be relocating in 2024.
Accommodation
Onsite luxury meets rewilding experience ~
We are able to accommodate up to fifteen women onsite during the warmer months for those seeking to add the magic of river bathing every day and a deepened community aspect to their experience. The rewilding part being that there is currently no running water on site, but we see this as a perfect opportunity for clients to immerse deeper into nature and are lucky to have a flowing river right on our doorstep for this added majestic experience.
However, if you prefer to stay off site, we suggest booking an airbnb in the Benahavis village so you are within walking distance to the retreat venue and for those wanting private accommodation, there is a small hotel in the village called Amanahavis.
If you choose to stay outside of the village, it is suggested to rent a car to drive to and from the venue every day.
FOOD
The Benahavis Village, although small, has an abundance of affordable restaurants and cafes offering various cuisines – from traditional Spanish tapas, Italian, Indian, Thai, Lebanese, and the most recent addition of a health food cafe serving up oat lattes and brunch. Whatever your dietary preference, you will have no issue finding options to suit you. We have taken care of breakfast for you and partnered up with our favourite cafe to serve up a delicious spread every morning after yoga. This is included in the retreat price.
