7 Nights Mountains & Sea Yoga Holiday, Almeria Spain

Enjoy a week's yoga holiday in Almeria, Spain. You will be staying in a traditional finca surrounded by a spectacular mountain back drop and a natural pool to cool off in. Your yoga holiday includes two guided hikes, one in the beautiful Cabo de Gata national park, a day trip to Almeria and of course yoga twice a day! Our Mountains & Sea Yoga holiday is the perfect balance of active and relaxed and will leave you feeling reset and revitalised.

Join us on our seven-night yoga holiday surrounded by mountains and sea in Almeria, Spain. You will be staying on the edge of Cabo de Gata National Park, the largest protected coastal area in Spain. Our yoga holiday in Almeria allows you to be as active or relaxed as you like. We offer a range of activities included in the price, but if you need a week of relaxation, this is your holiday, so do what you need to feel revitalised by the end of the week’s stay.

We enjoy our active Almeria yoga holidays in the shoulder season of April and October. It can be cooler during this time, so you can enjoy a more active break in Spain, but it is still warm enough to lie by the pool or relax on the beach.

There is a lot to do on this Almeria yoga retreat, such as guided hikes in Huebro Mountain Village & Cabo De Gata, explore the local village where there are lovely cafes and shops. Visit The Tienda de Los Milagros art studio of Matthew Weir
and Isabel Soler Hernández or even take a day trip to Almeria. There are two private pools at the venue, one of which is an eco-pool and is plant filtered through treatment ponds making it chlorine-free – a wonderful way to refresh after a hike. The wild, secluded beaches are only a 30 minute drive away and have hidden coves, volcanic rock formations and beautiful flora and fauna. The coastline is known for it’s stunning snorkelling spots and water-sports if you’re looking for adventure. Immerse yourself in yoga twice a day, creating space to allow yourself to reset and rejuvenate. There is something to do for everyone on our Almeria mountains and sea yoga holiday, and we create a good balance of activity and relaxation.

When you arrive, enjoy an orientation walk of the local village of Nijar and explore the grounds of the venue, a country estate that make their own olive oil and grow seasonal fruit. The week will follow with two hikes with a local guide, one of which will take you through the Cabo de Gata National Park and a half-day trip to explore Almeria town. In between included activities you can choose to explore the local beaches or relax by the pool.

Our venue for 2025 is a traditional Andalusian country estate surrounded by palms, fruit trees and olive groves. The Finca has six single occupancy stylish bedrooms and the charming cortijos are a mix of twin or single occupancy. There is plenty of tranquil outdoor areas to relax in, or take a dip in one of the pools.

Enjoy yoga twice a day in the yoga shala, and the day is yours to do as you please.

The venue has a calm and tranquil atmosphere, with plenty of shaded areas to relax. At this venue you have the pleasure of making use of two pools. One of the pools is a natural pool so is filtered through plants and the sides are painted green for UV absorption – a wonderful place to cool down from the sun.

Sustainability

We are working towards reducing our carbon footprint, and here are some ways we, as a company, are doing this.

We are a 88% vegan company, 10% vegetarian and 2% fish or meat (only when staying in boutique hotels that offer these options). This makes up a huge percentage of carbon emissions that we avoid so easily because our food is still delicious, balanced and even more creative. So, thanks to you all for enjoying our healthy (mostly) plant-based meals.

The difference: Most travel companies struggle to reduce their travellers’ meat and dairy consumption, which accounts for a large portion of their carbon emissions.

We stay primarily in one location for the duration of the retreat. We have started staying in a few locations on our long haul, but it is limited to 2 or 3 locations over an 8 – 10 night period. Staying in one place means low carbon emissions because we aren’t burning fuel to get around.

The difference: Other adventure travel companies move around every two days, using alot of petrol in vehicles for sometimes only 1 or 2 people.

Our activities are low-impact—yoga, hiking, surfing, skiing/boarding, whitewater rafting, SUP, and kayaking are all very low-carbon activities, in fact, zero-carbon (except skiing/snowboarding due to the ski lifts, which is also low). These activities are included in the price we measure. The carbon may increase with travel to and from these activities in vehicles.

The difference: Other travel companies can include high-carbon activities in the price, such as jet skiing, quad biking, and jeep driving, which increases their carbon footprint.

We run more than half of our retreats and holidays in the UK; these are very low-carbon holidays.

We currently don’t measure our guests’ travel as part of our carbon output because our guests don’t only come from the UK, so it is hard for us to predict this. We also don’t include travel in the holiday price, which is not part of our calculations. We know that we provide these holidays, so we are looking to include this carbon measurement in the future so we are investigating how we can reduce this.

The carbon measurements at the top of the page with the icons are per person for the whole retreat.

Ultra-low-carbon holidays

These holidays are below 200 kg per person, and our UK retreats are below 100 or even 70 kg, so these are great adventures for low carbon breaks.

Ski holidays are actually low in carbon!

In France, many ski resorts are turning to green energy to power the lifts. If you eat low in meat and dairy while you’re there and hire your ski equipment, this makes your trip as low-carbon as possible.

How can you help?

There are ways that you can help reduce your carbon when coming on our retreats and holidays:

Travel by train, try slow travel across Europe and the UK.
If travelling abroad to Europe or further afield, choose carbon capture schemes, check out Ecologi. Offsetting is not the best thing to do these days, but try carbon capture where you pay for carbon to be absorbed into the environment.
Car share UK – we recommend when guests travel by train to arrive and depart at the same time to taxi share – which helps keep costs and carbon emissions down. Why not consider car share, too? Most guests who drive come alone or with a friend; we have WhatsApp groups that, if you like, you can see who is driving from your area and enjoy getting to know each other on the way to the retreats, and save on your carbon emissions at the same time!

We are by no means saints when it comes to producing carbon, as a travel company we know this is very difficult to reduce. We are working to reduce our carbon output each year by measuring it and then creating plans to reduce it. We are reviewing all our venues and asking them how they can improve their carbon reduction as we don’t own any of our venues but we would like to work with them to help in any way we can. We want to be transparent with this, so please get in touch for more information. As we change things, we will update the website.
