About The Retreat
We create warm and down to earth spaces for women to come together. A space where time softens. A gathering of community—a sanctuary to explore, unravel, and deepen our connection to the essence of who we are. Through the fluid dance of movement and stillness, we’ll trace our way back to centre. This is a place to realign, rediscover, and embrace the most authentic, unbound version of being. Here, we honour our journey, let go of what no longer serves and welcome the quiet beauty of becoming. It’s a rekindling, a weaving together, a return. Our retreats are an invitation to step fully into yourself. Come as you are, we can't wait to welcome you, Our home for 4 nights will be Surya Guesthouse, nestled between the mountains & the mediterranean sea, in an Andalusian village. Full of open spaces & sun drenched corners, the house is a truly magical place for all who stay there. The location is 20 mins from Old Town Marbella, with its cobbled, bougainvillea covered streets and Spanish charm, we have nearby beaches, walks in the hills and time for you to explore on your own if you wish to, if you like a little more independence we recommend hiring a car from Malaga airport.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring anything?
All mats and all other yoga equipment is provided so you don't need to bring anything unless you choose to bring your own mat. We try to limit single use plastic, so would recommend bringing a water bottle for our time out of the house. Bring a journal. The temperature this time of year is in the high 20's so be sure to pack an SPF, light breathable clothing, swimwear, clothes for your yoga practice & a warmer layers for sunrises & in the evening. If you plan on taking walks, bring trainers
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is always a good idea, due to our cancellation policy we can't offer any refund if there were to be any problems/delays with your flight or airline. We encourage you to purchase trip cancellation insurance in order that your trip fees will be covered should you or your family have a medical problem prior to your trip or while on the trip. Trip insurance should also be purchased to cover medical expenses in the event you have an accident while on the retreat. Most travel insurance must be purchased within 14 days of making your reservation.
I'm nervous about coming solo, will everyone be travelling with friends?
Not at all! A lot of people come to our retreats solo, the biggest part of our ethos is creating a welcoming, safe & warm space so you can feel totally at ease.

A beautiful space laced with a blend of warm compassion and joy. The nature of Surya Retreat is relaxed and open. You are given ample free time & option to be alone or join in.There is no expectation, you are there purely to benefit from the healing powers of yoga and the other practices and soak up the sun.You're made to feel so at home. I can't recommend it enough, I can’t wait to come back!

absolute MAGIC! What a life affirming experience, to come together in this beautiful space, meeting with strangers and leaving with firm friends, so many memories, laughter, joy and the deepest sense of peace and relaxation. Keep doing what you're doing, its beyond special

Where to begin, just coming back down to earth after the most epic trip. Those sunrises will stay with me forever! What a magical retreat you created, every detail was so carefully thought through and we could feel your love, support and enthusiasm in every element. I felt a state of relaxation that I have not felt in 10 years. Thankyou. I'll be back.

Ellas ability to create a relaxed and welcoming environment was clear from the beginning.Straight away I started to feel the stresses of the previous months just melt away.She not only guides you through sessions with clear instruction but she is attentive and light and stops you feeling self conscious.The retreat was just what I needed, the time, the space, the sun & the beautiful people! Joyous!
