Lotus Retreat in Marbella is a small luxury retreat that accommodates up to six people which ensures each person gets enough personal guidance and attention. While the holiday is deeply focused around yoga and its traditions it by no means is a boot camp and still has that wonderful holiday feel with all the enhancements and benefits of your yoga practices. The aim is to make your stay as comfortable, relaxing and rejuvenating as possible, to give you good value for your money, with the wish that you leave feeling renewed, refreshed, happy and contented enough to return.

Welcome to southern Spain

The beautiful yoga room

The house is situated in a quite residential area of Marbella set against the backdrop of La Concha Mountain and surrounded by well-kept gardens. It is beautifully decorated with lots of hand painted antique furniture and has a peaceful warm atmosphere. There are two twin rooms with a shared bathroom and a terrace and one larger twin room with its own bathroom and sun terrace. The rooms are comfortable and have a unique design. All of the sheets and towels are pure cotton.

The salon is beautifully decorated with hand painted antique furniture, there are books, puzzles and board games to play in your free time. The yoga studio has been purpose built with lots of light and privacy.
There is a large outside terrace and garden for dining, sun bathing or quietly reading in the shade and a communal swimming pool surrounded by beautifully kept gardens and a good tennis club just a short walk away. The retreat is just a five-minute drive from the beach and five minutes from a variety of good restaurants and shops.

An example of a day at the yoga retreat starts with a wake-up call at 7.30a.m and an early morning walk at 8.00a.m, along the beautiful beaches of Marbella or in the surrounding countryside and gardens.
At 10.00a.m. a yoga class for approximately one and a half to two hours in the purpose built yoga studio. This is followed by a brunch at 12.00pm which is freshly prepared with a wide choice of fruits, salads, cheese, yogurt, muslie, preserves, juice and teas.

From 1.00p.m. to 6.00p.m. is leisure time, swim in the pool, sunbathe on the terraces, take an Ayurvedic massage with the qualified therapist. Perhaps you might like to go to the beach or walk around the famous Puerto Banus with its amazing yachts. Here you can shop in stores like Dior, Versace and Loewe or simply sit in one of the many cafes and enjoy the ambiance.

At 6.00p.m. there is a gentle yoga class followed at 8.00p.m. by dinner which is mainly vegetarian but can include fish if you desire. Only the freshest ingredients are used. After dinner relax outside on the terrace, take a glass of wine, chat, read or take a walk to the beach and watch the sun set.
