Retreat Yourself 5, 6 or 7 nights at Suryalila (from 3 Apr)

Retreat Yourself is a self-designed yoga retreat at Suryalila Retreat Centre in Villamartín, Cádiz, in the Andalusian countryside of southern Spain. You choose a stay of five, six or seven nights, and the week is built around daily yoga, organic vegetarian meals, time in nature and room to rest. It suits anyone who wants a restorative break without committing to a fixed programme, whether you come alone, want a quiet week, or want to add a few more active or immersive experiences. The yoga is led by the Suryalila Inhouse Teachers.

What to Expect

Unlike a guided retreat with a set timetable, this stay lets you shape your own days. Yoga is the constant, offered every day, and around it you decide how full or how empty the week feels. Some guests spend most of their time resting, walking and eating well. Others add activities to the base experience.

The organizers describe optional add-ons for people who want more activity, adventure, healing or a deeper level of immersion. Holistic treatments are part of the offering, as is time simply to recharge. The choice of stay length gives you a way to match the retreat to your schedule: a long weekend stretched slightly, a working week, or a full seven nights.

Who Leads It

The yoga is taught by the Suryalila Inhouse Teachers, the resident team at the centre. They teach the daily classes that anchor the stay, so the practice is led by people who know the place and its rhythm well.

The Setting

Suryalila Retreat Centre sits in Villamartín, in the province of Cádiz, surrounded by the landscape of Andalusia. The centre's other programmes mention the nearby natural parks, and nature is a real part of the stay here too, alongside the yoga and the quiet. Meals are organic and vegetarian, and they form part of the daily rhythm of the retreat.

Before You Go

This is a flexible retreat, so there is no fixed group programme to keep up with. You pick the pace, and the daily yoga is there whenever you want it. If you are looking for something more structured, Suryalila also runs guided retreats and teacher trainings with set schedules, but this stay is for those who prefer to design their own week and let the days unfold at their own speed.
