Santillan Retreat, Malaga, Spain

Spain Yoga Retreats 2027

3rd – 10th April 2027
19th – 23rd December 2027

Join us in Spain in 2027 for a nourishing yoga retreat, whether you're seeking the return of light, warmth, and vitality after winter this spring, or a peaceful close to the year in December.

Each day includes carefully structured yoga asana and pranayama classes, guided afternoon practice, and optional sessions exploring yoga philosophy. The fully equipped yoga studio is of a very high standard and includes yoga ropes, allowing for supported, precise, and therapeutic practice.

This retreat is suitable for all levels of yoga practitioners with at least one year of regular practice. Teaching will be progressive, attentive, and adaptable, offering depth and challenge while respecting individual needs.

Non-yoga partners are also very welcome to join, and participants of varying abilities will be supported throughout the week.

Come and reconnect—to your practice, to yourself, and to the quiet vitality of the season.

Yoga & Practice Spaces

Santillán Retreat offers three spacious, fully equipped yoga studios: two beautiful indoor salas and a stunning covered outdoor Garden Sala.

All spaces are professionally designed and equipped with high-quality yoga props, including a fully integrated Great Yoga Wall inspired by B.K.S. Iyengar, offering exceptional support for alignment-based and therapeutic practice.

Set within peaceful gardens with wide views across the valley and out to the sea, the studios provide an inspiring environment for asana, pranayama, meditation, and restorative practice throughout the year.

Lovely ensuite accommodation

Enjoy the peace and tranquility of Santillan with its gardens, pool area, hill walking and beautifully equipped yoga studio.

Santillan has 20 rooms, each individually styled, paying special attention to colour, harmony and balance with the environment.

Check out the photo gallery of the rooms here.

All rooms have en-suite bathrooms with magnifying mirror, hair dryer and welcome products, air-conditioning, heating and each comes with a private outdoor space, either verandah or terrace, with lovely views of the gardens, surrounding hills or down the valley to the sea.

Food and meals

The Mediterranean, mainly vegetarian and vegan meals are based on organic produce grown under the Spanish sun, from the gardens, local farmers, the chicken coop, fruit trees and herb garden.

Breakfast, brunch and dinner are included and there is unlimited tea, coffee and water available plus an “honesty” bar to purchase soft drinks and alcohol.

Meals are usually served buffet style.

The cooks at Santillan Retreat enjoy sharing their popular Spanish-influenced healthy Mediterranean cuisine, yet are also able to cater for genuine food allergies and intolerances, such as gluten-free and dairy-free.
