Retreats at HierbaBuena

A wellness retreat venue in Almería

Yoga as the sun rises over the sierra, quiet meals and screen-free evenings. The house’s promise of privacy, peace and wellbeing, lived for a few days.

For retreat organisers

A house that already invites silence

You are looking for a place that does not need turning into a retreat, because it already is one. HierbaBuena is surrounded by countryside, far from noise, with the sierra on the horizon.

Yoga teachers, therapists, writers and artists find spaces for practice, corners for reflection and four bedrooms for eight participants.

The rhythm of a day

From dawn to a starry night

Every retreat has its own programme; the house suits any gentle rhythm.

  1. Porch beside the olive tree in morning light

    Dawn

    Practice

    The first sun over the sierra and the mat on the porch or in the courtyard.

  2. The cortijo kitchen

    Morning

    A slow breakfast

    Fruit, bread and coffee in a kitchen that smells like home.

  3. A calm pool with the porch behind

    Afternoon

    Hours of silence

    Reading, writing or resting by the water, unhurried and undisturbed.

  4. The cortijo façade lit at night

    Night

    Under the stars

    A last meditation with the house lit and the countryside still.

What people come for

Here silence is not the absence of noise: it is room to hear yourself.

Where to rest

Four bedrooms for eight participants

Cool, simple, light-filled rooms made for deep rest.

The house, yours alone

Everything you need to know

Every celebration is different, but some things never change once you step through the cortijo’s door.

Exclusive use

The whole house is yours: no other guests, no other celebrations, no strangers.

4 bedrooms, 8 guests

Those you choose can sleep at the cortijo and live the celebration from beginning to end.

Pool, garden and porch

Outdoor spaces for every moment of the day, from first light to the last lingering meal.

Catering your way

Bring your own suppliers or choose from those we recommend, who already know the house.

Music welcome

Music is part of the celebration, always at a volume that respects the house and its surroundings.

A conversation, not a price list

Length of stay, dates and terms are discussed in private, shaped around what you imagine.

Those who were here

What they tell us afterwards

I have run yoga retreats for ten years and few places have this energy. Participants relax the moment they walk through the door.

I was looking for a place for a writing retreat and found a house that seemed written for it. Silence, light and time.
