“Bask under the sun on the Mediterranean coast where the classical and the modern symphonize.”
Delight in beach and yoga holidays in Valencia on the Eastern Coast of Spain. Layered in history since it's founding in the Roman era, Valencia captures attention with it's blissfully sunny climate, fragrant scent of orange trees, soft sand beaches and its culture-packed old town. From the historically rich city center with quaint Medieval Era streets to the impressively modern City of Arts and Sciences with the largest Aquarium in Europe, a visitor to this city is dazzled by the variety of attractions.
Our retreat center is located 1 kilometer from the beach in a small seaside town outside of Valencia City. Practice yoga in the large shala with natural light and high ceilings. With four classes daily, learn from different teachers, experience different yoga styles for all levels and have the opportunity to deepen your practice and escalate your health.
Take pleasure in the open spaces and quiet spots to lounge in the garden patios, take a dip in swimming pool after spending time at the beach and unwind in the on-site spa with a jacuzzi and dry sauna. Rooms have ensuite bathrooms, air conditioners and heaters and there is wifi throughout the retreat center.
