Escape Christmas Retreat Reviews

"Best Xmas ever... outstanding experience!"

"Don´t tell my mom but this was the best Christmas ever!"

A wonderful experience on a beautiful and peaceful site in a Spanish natural resort. Vidya and her team have done such a fantastic job in creating this extraordinary environment, which allowed for great yoga sessions, joyful hikes, excellent vegetarian meals and a culture program like no other. Every single person greets you with a smile coming straight from the heart. The yoga sessions and massages, the cleanliness of the rooms and the passion for making the world a better place is visible in every corner and every moment of your stay. My only suggestion for improvement is to tell people about the environmental efforts on day one. I would have used the compost toilets and outdoor showers with even more joy, knowing what difference it makes for recultivating the land. My summary at the end of the Xmas escape retreat was: “don’t tell my mom but this was the best Christmas ever”. We were 40 people and really bonded after very little time; It felt like being with old friends. It was my first time at Suryalila and certainly not the last.

"The South of Spain provided days of sunshine and the Winter Solstice full moon shone through the window of our yoga studio to bring a touch of magic to our evening classes. A week of good food and comfortable surroundings was provided by Suryalila in Andalucia. Everyone spoke English and everyone had a story to tell - because we were all escaping Christmas from our usual habitats. Suryalila organised enough events to keep us busy and there was plenty of time to sit in the sunny cupola and chat or walk to local scenic spots (including a bar or two). We were introduced to flamenco dancing, acro yoga and even some board games. A wood fired sauna warmed up the afternoon, followed by a plunge into the salt water pool. I highly recommend Suryalila as a home away from home, an intelligent and supportive yoga school and a beautiful, relaxing holiday destination."
