Retreats in Rural Spain
Bespoke and/or Self-Led Retreats
Let us help you to create and enjoy your own ideal break
In the beautiful green, orange tree terraces of Valencia, you can choose to spend your time as you wish. Breathtaking views across the evergreen mountains and valleys to the sea and clement climate nurture a sense of wellness, peace, connection and relaxation.
Let us help you to blend your own ideal break with as much solitude & sociability, facilitated sessions & free time as you need, so that you can return home fully rested, re-energised and ready for action!
We can work with you as a solo traveller, family, team, organisation or group - costs will depend on your needs, numbers and budget so please Book A Call to discuss your requirements so we can send you a proposal & quote.

Local accommodation options include everything from simple single rooms, homestays and free camper sites to townhouses or golf/spa hotel.
-
Most options are self-catering with a range of local shops, cafes, bars and restaurants.
Half or full board is also possible - or a mix!
-
With proximity to sea, hills, towns and cities there are many ways to enjoy some free time.
It’s also possible to book a local masseur, walking/hiking guide, bare-back horse ride, art workshop, reiki session, yoga class, bee-keeping talk and taste and more!
A selection of blue flag beaches lie along the local coastline - some very local and quiet with others offering bars, sunbeds and activities such as kayaking, paddle boarding etc,
There are plenty of hiking and biking trails into the hills and our local site of interest is an impressive disused monestary which hosts occasional free music concerts.
Larger towns are close by and easily accessible by bus and of course the fantastic city of Valencia can be a day trip or can be visited over a few days to enjoy a part rural, part city retreat mix!

With temperatures never dropping below 8°C, in theory it’s always a good time to visit. However, should you wish to enjoy sun that is warming but not too hot and little chance of rain, the best months to book would be March-June and late October to early December.
Early October and sometimes February have seen torrential rain over recent years. Late Dec-Jan are usually cool, dry and bright and worth considering as long as your accommodation is well heated.
July to September temperatures can reach over 40°C. August sees an exodus of Spanish people to the sea or the mountains with most businesses closed.
