THE PLACE
We will stay in a majestic large villa at 8km from bohemian Tarifa and its wonderful beaches, in the province of Cádiz, Southern Spain.
A 700 m2 built house, set in the middle of stunning grounds in a plot of 7,500 m2, not overlooked by anyone. A secluded paradise that will become your house for a week.
Located at the starting point of the Costa de La Luz (the coast of Light), the property itself looks directly down a valley, to the nearby ocean and the north-African coast, which is only 14 km away. It has indeed the most amazing views in the area. You will feel like you can almost touch Africa in front of you!
The area is surrounded by Los Alcornacales National Park, a preserved and unique natural space, which makes it a beautiful, unspoiled and tranquil place.
The villa was refurbished, including a total renovation of all the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen, in 2019, preserving the Spanish traditional architecture and some of the wooden antique furniture.
It has a fully equipped indoor yoga room, a salty swimming – pool, an infrared sauna, large gardens, indoor and outdoor dinning rooms and many beautiful outdoor spaces for chill, relax and meditate.
You will feel at home, with a very familiar atmosphere and the perfect balance of privacy, relaxation, silence and beauty.
The food is first class, delicious, organic, local and seasonal, cooked by specialized chefs in vegetarian and vegan cuisine, especially hired for the this retreat.
We will explore the beautiful nature in the area. There are excellent walking routes, and many beaches to choose from, starting at the doorstep of Tarifa and going all the way up to Cádiz. Local favorites are Punta Paloma and Bolonia.
All the excursions and transports are organized for us with care and included in the price of the retreat.
How to get there?
The closest internationl airport is Málaga (AGP), 1 hour, 30 min from the villa. There is direct and affordable flight options to Málaga from most European main cities.
We will offer a free group taxi from the airport to the villa (round trip) on the arrival and departure days.
