Can Campolier
Ride the roads, return to stillness
Stone walls and the quiet of a former country estate set the scene at Can Campolier, a 17th-century property restored as a base for yoga and cycling retreats near Banyoles. A stay here can extend well beyond the mat: Rocacorba Cycling, based at the estate, organizes sports tours and bike rentals, with options ranging from guided rides on local roads to self-guided cycling holidays. The combination suits travelers who enjoy movement and open-air exploration alongside peaceful surroundings, while Banyoles and the wider Girona region give the experience a distinctly Catalan setting. En-suite rooms pair the estate’s historic character with contemporary comfort. Retreat formats and the balance between yoga, riding, and downtime depend on the dates you choose, so check with the host before booking. Think of Can Campolier as an active countryside escape with yoga in the mix, rather than a meditation-only retreat.

Setting
The estate sits among the rolling countryside outside Banyoles, in the Girona region of Catalonia. Its historic stone setting lends a quieter, rural feel, while local roads make it a natural base for cycling excursions.
A typical day
Daily structure depends on the retreat booked; ask the host whether your stay includes yoga, guided rides, or time for independent exploration.
Accommodation
The restored estate has en-suite rooms that bring together period character and modern comfort. Ask the host about room options and what is included with your chosen retreat.
What to bring
Pack comfortable clothes for yoga and cycling, plus layers for changing conditions. The annual average temperature is 14.8°C; summers are warm, while winter is cooler, and rain is more common in March, December, and July, so a light rain layer is useful.
