“……what sets it apart from any other centre is the vast, newly built, light-filled shala (yoga hall)”
“A special yoga wall at a rustic Spanish retreat allows for new levels of stretching and twisting…..”
“With its program led by outstanding teachers from around the world, a privileged location between mountains and sea, state-of-the-art facilities and dedicated staff, I can say from experience that this beautiful place enriches, sustains and pampers those who come to it” Elena Sepúlveda
Santillan Retreat
Santillan Yoga and Wellness Retreat is an expansive Andalucian cortijo with gardens overlooking our own valley and on to the Mediterranean sea.
Located in the peace of the Spanish countryside, Santillan is only 35 minutes from Malaga airport.
Relax, recharge and restore with yoga, meditation, healthy eating, walking, therapies, sound baths, all offered alongside a wide range of retreats led by some of the world’s most experienced teachers. Immerse yourself in nature within Santillan’s peaceful tropical gardens and surrounding hills. It is the perfect setting for some time away from the hustle, bustle and noise of modern life. Many guests tell us that Santillan offers the experience of being ‘home from home’.
Santillan has one outdoor and two indoor studios, a salt-water pool, and 20 en-suite bedrooms offering accommodation for single, double, twin and triple share.
Relax
Along with many peaceful spaces to eat, read, relax and rest, Santillan offers a salt-water swimming pool while we are also close to many of the beaches along the Mediterranean coast.
Recharge
Our Location
Santillan is a beautifully renovated traditional 50,000 m2 cortijo located in the peace of the Spanish countryside, yet conveniently only 35 minutes from Malaga airport, close to Granada, Cordoba, Ronda, Marbella and the white villages of Andalucia.
Our Gardens
Santillan’s tropical Mediterranean gardens are a delight for the senses, a landscape constantly touched with new colour, rare species, fresh scents, and a passion for gardening.
Our Kitchen
Santillan’s Mediterranean, vegetarian and vegan menus are created with organic produce sourced from local farmers and from our own organic vegetable gardens, fruit trees and herb garden. Our chickens give us fresh eggs daily.
