Our first journey is sold out!

We decided to host a second one for those of you who didn't want to miss out on this incredible experience! March 26-April 1, 2027. It will be just as magical, just one week later.

SAVOR ANDALUCÍA

A Women’s Journey of Culture and Yoga through Almeria, Spain.

Join us in Almería, a sun-drenched corner of Andalucía in southern Spain, for an all-inclusive immersive journey.

Six nights to slow down, taste something extraordinary, and discover the culture, flavors, and traditions of Almería.

This boutique experience brings together the warmth of southern Spain, its rich traditions, and the pleasure of having time to enjoy them. Cathy of Secrets of Almería and Sasha of Yama Yoga have created an all-inclusive experience that pairs yoga and mindfulness with exceptional food, local culture, and beautiful landscapes, all at an unhurried pace.

Your first two nights will be in the historic heart of Almería City, where your room at the beautiful Aire Hotel awaits. Daily yoga and meditation practice, alongside delicious tapas, spa time, shopping, and a truly special opportunity to experience Semana Santa, or Holy Week.

During the days leading up to Easter, Almería comes alive with centuries-old traditions, music, candlelight, and beautiful processions winding through the historic streets. We'll have the chance to step into the heart of this deeply rooted local tradition and experience a side of Almería that most visitors never get to see. It is a beautiful glimpse into the history, culture, and spirit of this place.

Your final four nights unfold in a private coastal home in Vera Playa, where mornings begin with poolside yoga and meditation, followed by a leisurely breakfast. Discover local markets, taste exquisite olive oils, share wine-paired meals, and walk through landscapes that invite you to pause. Enjoy a private massage, watch the sun go down at the beach, and gather around the table for relaxed, family-style meals. Between experiences, there is room to rest, connect or simply enjoy a quiet moment to yourself.

With your accommodation, meals, and planned experiences included, you can settle into the rhythm of each day and let us take care of the details.

Come for the culture, the flavors, and the yoga. Leave with memories of a place you had time to truly savor.
