Your Guide to Yoga Retreats in Spain

But before you escape the 9 to 5 for a weekend of yoga and relaxation, take a look at Basubu's top travel tips for this idyllic destination.
Where to go in Spain
When you think of Spain, popular tourist destinations like Barcelona, Madrid and Seville come to mind.
But if you take a closer look, you'll find many other breathtaking locations that are packed with beautiful beaches, delicious food and even better yoga and wellness retreats.
Balearic Islands
Beyond the mainland, the
Balearic Islands is an archipelago straight from heaven.
Mallorca is the crown jewel of the lot, boasting stunning beaches, majestic limestone mountains and fresh Spanish fare.
A short journey away,
Ibiza attracts yoga enthusiasts far and wide with its beautiful landscapes, lively nightlife and nourishing
wellness retreats.
Although the smallest of the group,
Formentera is teeming with adventure and opportunities to relax. Explore the island on guided walks or recharge on a
meditation retreat along the serene coastline.
Andalusia
Southern Spain is a sanctuary for the mind and body. Just above Málaga,
Andalusia is a spectacular region characterised by its striking contrasts.
Here, travellers can explore ancient cities, lounge in luxury villas or watch the beautifully poetic flamenco dance.
If you're here for a
weekend or only a day trip, Seville, Córdoba and Granada are three cities that'll steal your heart.
Canary Islands
Known as the sunshine centre of Europe, nature lovers can enjoy
beach yoga retreats and even include surfing lessons, stand up paddleboarding and hiking in their itinerary.
Among some of the top islands in the Canaries are
Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, La Palma, and Gran Canaria.
When to go to Spain
Sunny Spain is a pleasure to visit all year round.
With endless, balmy days,
summer is always a popular time to visit the country and make the most out of the amazing weather.
That said, if you're looking for a relaxing holiday without hoards of tourists, then late
spring (April to May) or early
autumn (September to October) is the best time to visit.
During these months, the sun isn't too sweltering and you'll also be able to make a reservation at your favourite vegan or vegetarian restaurant at a moment's notice!
What to see in Spain
With warm, Mediterranean waters and picturesque mountains that go on for miles, Spain is no short of beauty and adventure.
We highly suggest that you free up your schedule to visit one of these magnificent attractions.
- Meditate on the serene shores of A Praia Das Catedrais
- Take a dip at the Parque Natural de Las Laguna de Ruidera
- Admire the detailed architecture of the Seville Cathedral
- Marvel at the volcanic landscapes of Mount Teide
- Tour the Alhambra Palace in Granada
How to get around Spain
One of the best ways to travel between cities in Spain is with the high-speed train or AVE (Alta Velocidad).
This efficient mode of transport makes jumping from city to city on the mainland extremely affordable and quick, with a train ride from Barcelona to Madrid taking just over 2 hours.
Taxis and buses are also options for
budget travellers, however, they're not ideal if you're travelling long distances.
When it comes to accessing remote islands like the
Canaries and
Balearic Islands, flying is by far the fastest and sometimes even the cheapest option.
It's also worth noting that Spain is one hour ahead of the Canaries, so be sure to update your time zone or you might end up missing your flight home!
