Join Stephanie and Whitney of 3 Bridges Yoga for 5 nights / 6 days in Catalunya’s Costa Brava, a majestic stretch of Spain’s Mediterranean coastline, which stretches from the France-Spain border, south towards Barcelona. Visitors love the region for its picturesque Medieval-era towns, beautiful rolling hills, and gorgeous beaches, and is the perfect place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city!

During this itinerary, we will include three cultural and active excursions that we feel highlight the unique must-dos of the region. 

On your first full day in Costa Brava, we will spend time exploring the beautiful coastline during a guided walk. We’ll get stunning views from up high on cliffs, of the beautiful blue sea water. We’ll take our shoes off and cross soft, sandy beaches. We’ll end with some delicious Spanish tapas at a seaside cafe!

We will also spend a day visiting the cultural and historical city of Girona, where we will include an expertly guided tour of the old city, lunch at a delicious local restaurant and a visit to the Salvador Dali Museum in nearby Figueres. 

The Costa Brava region is also famous for its medieval villages and local wineries. Included in our retreat is an afternoon touring the quaint, 11th century village of Pals, plus a visit to a local wine cellar, with educational tour, tasting and lite bites. 

Of course, we also leave ample free time to simply sit by the pool, read a book, visit a nearby village, and practice yoga poolside with Steph and Whit. 

The town of Begur is a 15 minute drive away from our resort and features wonderful little shops, restaurants, and ruins of a Medieval Castle. Fancy a beach day or a walk along the coast? The Camino de Ronda is at the footsteps of our coastal resort, and leads you to multiple beaches, restaurants and points of interest.

Arrival Day: Sunday, May 5th

If you will arrive at Barcelona Airport (BCN) on Sunday, May 5th, please plan to land by 11am. We will schedule one included group transfer from the airport to our resort in Begur (about a 1.5 hour drive), and arrive in time for an afternoon meal.

Please note that you will need to depart from the United States on the evening of Saturday, May 4th, as flights heading over to Spain are typically overnight flights.

If you plan to arrive a few days early to spend extra time in Barcelona prior to May 5th, we will also make one stop in the city center before heading to the retreat center. Barcelona’s streets are tightly regulated, and so the hired transport can only stop in select areas. You should be prepared to take a short taxi or Uber to a central location on the morning of May 5th. We will send full details about a week prior to the retreat start date. 

Departure Day: Friday, May 10th

Please do NOT book flights that depart before 12pm on Friday, May 10th, as we will be traveling about 1.5 hours from our resort in Begur to the airport that morning.

Note: We will plan to make one stop at the airport, and then one stop in the city center for anyone staying on and exploring Barcelona after the retreat. Once again, this stop will be made in a central location, and a short taxi ride will likely be necessary to reach your specific hotel or AirBnB.

Once you have booked your flights, please forward your flight confirmation email to info@solseedretreats.com.

The lodging options for this retreat will consist of the main four bedroom villa (The Villa), a two bedroom / 1 bathroom annex (The Annex), and a 10 bedroom boutique hotel (The Hotel). The campus is set up such that The Villa and The Annex abut the central restaurant to the west, and The Hotel abuts the central restaurant to the east. The whole campus is only a 3 minute walk from one side to the other.

The Villa - This is the primary building of the retreat. The property includes the main villa, the annex, gardens, and a pool on the edge of the Mediterranean. All retreat guests will have access to the common areas of this villa; living areas, kitchen, hot tub, and of course, the pool. There are three rooming options within the villa. The King Suite is the largest footprint. It is located on the top floor of the villa along with living areas and the kitchen. Then there are three bedrooms which can be configured with either a King bed for one or two participants, or two twin beds. All three bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms and sea views. More details are available in the accommodation packages descriptions below.

The Annex - This unique lodging option is a two bedroom, one bathroom efficiency apartment, directly attached to the main villa; complete with a small sitting area, and a kitchenette. One bedroom features two twin beds, and the other bedroom has a king bed. The two bedrooms share access to the single bathroom. This is a great option for a group of 3 or 4 friends traveling together!

The Hotel - The hotel features 10 rooms, all of which contain a king bed and ensuite bathroom, and another communal pool. Unless the retreat fills all 10 rooms, there will be other guests staying in the hotel. Eight of the rooms feature a patio with a small outdoor sitting area. One room features a nice double-door balcony to the sea with no outdoor seating area. And the final room, with the largest floor plan, has only a restricted view of the courtyard and sea. 

Room assignments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis. All twin rooms will be in The Villa. King rooms will be first assigned to The Villa pending availability, then to the ten hotel rooms. As The Annex includes a shared bathroom, those rooms must be registered for specifically.

If you do not wish to have a roommate, please register for one of the “Single Occupancy” packages. 

If you do have a roommate, each participant shall register for a “Double Occupancy” package, and list their roommate during the registration process. If you register for a “Double Occupancy” package without a roommate, we will do our best to find a like-minded participant to share the room with you; however, if we cannot, you will be responsible for paying a fee to upgrade to a “Single Occupancy” package prior to attending the retreat. 

Unless specifically stated elsewhere, all Double Occupancy rooms may be co-ed.
