Holiday itinerary
Slow down to the pace of Spanish life on this unique yoga holiday. Stay for 7 nights / 8 days in the pretty pueblo blanco of Conil de la Frontera, just 30 minutes from Cadiz and 50 minutes from Jerez surrounded by pine forests and some of the best beaches on this unspoilt coast of Spain.
Practice yoga each morning and evening in a fun and friendly environment and unwind and physically, mentally and spiritually recharge during your stay in this magical place.
Enjoy the flexibility of a yoga holiday that gives you plenty of free time to simply relax in the Finca’s tranquil gardens or by the pool or enjoy a range of activities such as horse riding, walking, kitesurfing, surfing or even take a trip to Morocco and much more.
The Finca is set in the hills of Conil de la Frontera with magnificent views over the countryside and coastline and is the ideal place to sit with a glass of wine and enjoy some amazing sunsets. This is a haven away from the bustling pueblo blanco and is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing and rejuvenating yoga retreat to recharge mind, body and soul.
