New retreat in 2027:
South of Spain
Saturday 25th September to Saturday 2nd October 2027
———
This farmhouse is a restored 200 year old building and has been lovingly restored and sits high in the foothills of the Sierra Almijara region of Southern Spain. Until the 1960s it was a working olive mill and has been carefully restored to preserve the charm and character of old Andalucia while providing modern con forts for a really peaceful stay. The special element to the Finca is that it provides a very relaxed and informal atmosphere, and it feels as if you are staying with friends!
The venue sits in open countryside just 5 minutes from the traditional mountain village of Canillas de Albaida. This is a typical moorish village and sits dramatically above sea level with a long stretching view of the Mediterranean Sea. Looking north of the Finca there are spectacular views of Mount Maroma (2080m) and the nearby National Park.
The Finca has 12 individually styled spacious rooms with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the ambiance. Outside there are carob and palm trees surrounded by sunny and shaded patios. There is an honesty bar, a swimming pool and deck area and numerous stunning places to sit and relax. There is a yoga deck and a creative art room high in the hotel which all add to an atmosphere of quiet relaxation, a real home from home.
The Way of Living propose to bring 10 guests here next year and to offer to same peaceful quiet restorative week that we have been offering in Greece for the past 5 years.
The ethos of the week is to allow guests to follow their own rhythm and flow during the week, taking or leaving the activities and wellbeing treatments as they see fit and really affording themselves to deeply relax amongst a group of like minded people.

“I have felt a sense of peace and relaxation. I haven’t laughed so much in years! I have also learned what it means to ‘be present’. I have an understanding that the food we eat and making time for ourselves really does make us feel better, healthier, happier and calmer. Thank you so much, it has been perfection. ”
