Aum Retreat Spain
Practice, music and mountain air
Set in the mountain village of Aigües, Casa Aum gives a retreat stay a distinctly domestic feel: four bedrooms, shared living and dining space, and terraces looking across the surrounding peaks. Its top-floor yoga temple is the focal point, hosting a mix of yoga, meditation, mantra events and musical offerings rather than a single narrowly defined practice. The setting makes room for both group connection and quieter time outdoors, while the communal spaces invite guests to linger between sessions. Three vegetarian or vegan meals are included each day, with gluten-free choices, plus tea, coffee, fruit, nuts and snacks throughout the day. The main meal is prepared and served for guests. Rooms have air conditioning, and practical comforts include Wi-Fi, towels and free parking. Retreats start at EUR 240; check with Casa Aum about dates and what each program includes. It suits travelers drawn to a small-group atmosphere, mountain scenery and a varied approach to wellbeing.
