It may be possible to spend Thursday or Sunday night at Santillán if space allows. We will not know until closer to the dates though because there are retreats either side of our weekend. If you wish to come to Málaga a night earlier, or stay a night later we can recommend hotels in Málaga or in our local seaside town of Rincón de la Victoria. Please let me know if you wish to stay an extra night(s).
You are free to attend all or any of the classes scheduled, while there will be ample time to enjoy Santillán’s facilities, estate, and surrounding hills at this very pleasant time of year.
In November it is usually warm and sunny during the day & colder at night. This is one of my favourite times of year here in Andalucia.
I will also offer a guided walk in the surrounding hills during the weekend.
Massage and other complementary therapies will be available to book throughout the retreat period.
All rooms are en-suite with private balcony or terrace.

Santillán is my yoga ‘home’ and where I lead the majority of my teacher trainings and retreats. Santillán offers one of Europe's finest fully equipped yoga studios, spacious en-suite accommodation, a wide range of indoor and outdoor facilities including a salt-water swimming pool, at a peaceful sea-facing private valley location only 35-40 minutes east of Malaga airport. And some of the best beaches in the area are only a short car ride away, or 45 minute walk.
I love to teach in the state-of-the-art 160m2 studio which features 24 stations of the Great Yoga Wall. The yoga studio, fitted with a full range of yoga props, a cushioned wooden floor, ceiling fans and other details for retreats and trainings, was designed by myself and Adriana with special assistance from Eija Tervonen in providing the finest props available for this bright and beautiful space. Our intention is to create the ultimate yoga studio experience for teachers and students of all styles of yoga.
We have just cultivated an additional hectare of land for organic vegetables and have planted many new fruit trees. You will be able to juice your oranges straight from the tree in season. We have relocated and enlarged the chicken and duck garden and the ducks swimming pool, which will increase the quantity of fresh organic eggs each day. They share their new home with Platera our rescue donkey. We are opening up further walking paths and currently designing a new indoor fitness studio and spa. Santillán continues to grow ever more special. You can now walk all the way to the beach directly from our valley without even crossing a road.
