Santillan
New Year 2026

New Year 2026 at Santillan

29TH DEC 2025 - 3RD JAN 2026

Peaceful gardens at Santillan Retreat, offering yoga therapy and wellness for CFS/ME and Long Covid recovery

A place of quiet luxury

I’m delighted to be teaching on Simon Low’s retreat at the beautiful Santillan, near Malaga. Come and enjoy New Year in a stunning setting with options such as flamenco, a sound bath and New Year’s dinner. It would be lovely to share NYE with you and of course you can also rest as much as you need.

Santillan is featured in The Telegraph as one of ‘the 30 greatest yoga holidays on the planet’ and The Times as ’the 20 best yoga retreats in the world’ - in other words, the venue is peaceful and utterly beautiful.

This luxurious venue is located in Southern Spain and set in extensive, beautiful gardens with land that overlooks the mountains, with the valley gently rolling toward the sea in the distance. It was previously visited by the Dalai Lama, who recognised it as a place for spiritual healing.

Organic dining, serene surroundings

The food is delicious and mainly organic, either grown locally or sourced directly from the gardens and farm.

All the bedrooms are decorated to a high standard and come with quiet terraces that offer views of the sea, mountains or gardens.

The three yoga spaces are particularly impressive, including an outdoor platform with views of the valley and the sea, and there’s also a wide range of indoor and outdoor facilities, including a saltwater swimming pool.

It's also close to Malaga airport, and although airport transfers are extra, they’re easy to arrange and affordable.

  • "Thank you for helping make this such a lovely week... I felt very welcomed after not feeling too well and I have loved (and felt very healed) with the chakra sessions. Thanks for sharing your spiritual experience and for bringing that energy into the group, and the opportunity to share too (and for being a great example and making it easier)! It has been great to see you in real life."

  • “Thank you for the wonderful week and all your kindness towards me – whether in bringing me sustenance (material or spiritual), moral support… or just making me laugh my head off. My recovery journey has certainly had a boost! If a retreat is measured by what you take away with you then this one was a gem.”
