Retreats in Spain

Retreats in Spain: regions and seasons

Andalusia, in the south, has the most variety: white villages and the Alpujarras below the Sierra Nevada, and the coast between Málaga and Tarifa. The Canary Islands (Tenerife, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura) lie off north-west Africa and stay mild all winter. The Balearics (Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza) are at their best from May to October, and inland Catalonia and Valencia offer quieter rural stays.

On the mainland, July and August are hot, especially inland, so spring and autumn are the easiest months for walking and outdoor practice. For winter sun, the Canaries are the obvious choice.

Before you book

• Ask which airport is nearest, how long the transfer takes and whether it is included; rural venues can be a long drive inland.
• In summer, check for air conditioning, and for shade for outdoor sessions.
• Confirm what the price covers: the room type, the meals and any excursions.
