The Dragonfly Retreat
A quieter path, at your own pace
Coín’s hills give The Dragonfly Retreat a quieter setting for stepping back from everyday routines. Described as a self-built, heart-led sanctuary, it is shaped less around a named meditation lineage than around personal autonomy and a supportive atmosphere. Guests are encouraged to explore mindfulness at their own pace, making the retreat a flexible option for people arriving with different levels of experience and differing reasons for taking time away. There is no fixed itinerary to follow, so the emphasis is on creating room for reflection rather than keeping to a tightly programmed course. That open format will suit travelers who value space to listen to themselves and make a retreat feel personal; anyone hoping for a detailed sequence of classes or a specific tradition should check what is planned for their dates. In southern Spain, the appeal is the combination of a calm hillside base and an unhurried, self-directed approach to renewal.
