A Yoga & Meditation Reset by the Sea
14–19 June 2026 · Suniai Oliva, Valencia, Spain · Small group, max 15 guests
Life doesn't often give us permission to stop. This retreat does.
For five days, trade your to-do list for the sound of the sea, the shade of orange groves, and a daily rhythm built around breath, stillness, and rest. No rushing, no noise, no notifications — just space to properly exhale.

About Suniai Oliva - Your Beach Paradise
Suniai Oliva is an off-grid retreat centre powered entirely by solar energy, with fresh water drawn from its own well — a place built around living gently, in harmony with the land.
You'll practice in The Shala, a light-filled 135sqm wooden-floored yoga room opening onto panoramic mountain views. Just steps away: a 20-metre pool with 18 sunbeds, gardens shaded by olive and orange trees (pick your own oranges for juice), and a 15-minute walk to white sand beach.

What previous students have said about our retreats abroad:
Jennifer Hendry, Cambridge
“What an amazing week in Paros it was – just perfect! The care and attention that must have gone into the planning (thank you!) clearly paid off as it was a wonderful week of yoga, amazing food and cocktails, new friendships and beautiful scenery in what felt like a ‘home from home’ hotel. Would definitely recommend future iterations of this trip to others!”
Marion, Wales (Cymru)
“Thank you Rosanna and Siôn for a fantastic yoga retreat in Greece. Everything was so well organised. A perfect venue, lovely people, amazing food, lots of activities as well as twice daily yoga. The yoga studio is very well equipped and the hotel is first class and run by a lovely family who go out of their way to make you feel welcome.”
