Almeria Yoga Retreat 2025
Almeria Spain Yoga Retreat with Gerry Kielty
30th August – 06th September 2025
The Venue
The venue consists of the main house, which won awards in the 80’s for its striking modernist design. It sits in the semi-desert landscape amid lush gardens, its architecture echoing ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Its striking natural swimming pool is fed by spring water and filtered by reed beds. It has long been a stylish, bohemian family home, also an exotic venue for photo shoots. It is now being adapted to cater for yoga groups.
Accomodation
The main house has two double en-suite bedrooms, and four twin ensuites. The cortijos have been converted in the original local style into charming accommodation, located a couple of hundred yards from the main house. The cortijo apartments have their own sitting room/kitchens (meals are served at the main house) with 6 twin en-suite apartments. All accommodation has air-conditioning.
Yoga
The retreat includes six, 1.5 hr morning classes and four, 1.15 hour afternoon classes with two afternoons off.
Meals
Meals are vegetarian by default, served buffet style with fresh local produce, and include breakfast, lunch and dinner. The meals are healthy and varied, with plenty of choice. If requested we can provide the group with one or two meals during the week with fish or chicken. We can cater for gluten and dairy free diets and for medical allergies. However, we regret we can’t cater for personal preferences or complicated special diets. One night a week dinner is eaten out, usually on excursion day.
Flight and Transfer Information
Malaga airport is 2 hours and Almeria airport is 30 minutes from the Finca. The only flights are to Malaga airport from Scotland. For the rest of the UK, there are flights from London Stansted and several other regional airports. The venue can arrange transfers between Malaga & Almeria and the Finca which typically work out between €30 and €65 per person each way, depending on the number of passengers and number of transfers required to meet flights. We average the cost so everyone pays the same. The driver waits outside the exit (the airport is tiny) with a Huzur Vadisi Logo sign. It works best and keeps costs down if people can join an existing flight. Please consult your teacher or group organizer. Car hire, if required, is only available from the airport.
