The Hacienda Retreat Centre
Follow the trails, slow the day
Days at The Hacienda Retreat Centre can move between a footpath and the water’s edge. Set in the Andalusian countryside, the retreat welcomes workshops, group retreats, group work and friends looking for a relaxed holiday. Trails wind through olive groves, wheat fields and fragrant pine woods, giving walkers room to stretch their legs or pause for quiet observation. For a slower afternoon, there is a pool, where cascading water draws birdlife among banana and palm trees. That mix of open-air wandering and unhurried time by the water gives the place an informal character: it can serve as a setting for organized group work or a gentler countryside break. The center charges for stays, but rates and what they include should be confirmed directly before booking. Ask the host about the retreat schedule and accommodation, as arrangements may vary by gathering.
