Mornings begin with soul-nourishing yoga sessions—Flow, Kundalini, and Yin—designed to energise, ground, and restore, followed by nourishing, seasonal meals inspired by local ingredients.
This retreat offers immersive and joyful Spanish language and culture learning experiences through daily interactive lessons and hands-on cooking experiences. Each afternoon, I’ll guide you through two Spanish sessions: one for complete beginners and another for those with more experience. Lessons are practical, fun, and designed to help you build confidence speaking Spanish in everyday situations. You’ll even get the chance to use your new skills during a guided shopping trip in town, where we’ll buy ingredients while interacting with locals.
In the evenings, small groups will join me in the kitchen to prepare traditional Spanish meals. From tapas to tortilla, you’ll learn authentic cooking techniques, expand your cultural knowledge, and pick up Spanish culinary vocabulary along the way. Whether you're chopping, chatting, or tasting, the goal is the same: to connect, learn, and celebrate the richness of Spanish culture—one delicious dish at a time.
THE HOUSE
Casa Olivier, a beautifully cosy and high-standard private villa in Spain’s Valle de Lecrín, offers the perfect setting for a nourishing retreat. Nestled among peaceful olive and orange groves, this off-grid hideaway runs on sustainable energy, with solar panels and battery storage creating a green, eco-conscious sanctuary that stays cool in summer and warm in winter. Guests can relax by the private pool with mountain views, curl up in the snug library overlooking a Moorish castle, or venture out to explore the nearby historic city of Granada and the charming whitewashed villages of the Alpujarras. With spacious bedrooms, sun-drenched terraces, and thoughtful, eco-friendly touches, Casa Olivier is an inviting space to slow down, connect, and unwind.
This retreat is more than just a getaway—it’s a joyful fusion of movement, mindfulness, flavour, and language that invites you to deepen your practice, broaden your horizons, and savour every moment.
