Location

The villa is situated next to a small gem of an urbanisation with some 200 houses and villas sprawling over the hillside, across the road and down into the valley. It has a very laid back design and atmosphere.

It is only 8 kilometers from the lovely small bohemian town of Tarifa and its fantastic wide uncrowded beaches.

There are no high rise buildings in Tarifa and it is composed of a quaint old town and the newer part of town through the arched main gate. It is steeped in history and was a important stronghold over the centuries due to its location and for the ability to see all ships passing through the Straits of Gibraltar. Today it still retains its small fishing village feel.

Accommodation

The house consists of one main block, with lots of nooks and crannies that keep you guessing and that ultimately lead to the various different bedrooms and casual areas.

Having driven through the gates into the private grounds and parking up, there is then an inviting wooden double door entrance, behind which holds the magic of this property.

Stepping through this entrance brings you into a fantastic courtyard with a covered walkway, complemented by a three tier fountain, pillars and painted Andalusian pictorial tiles, all softened with vivid green plants against the tiled walls.

Looking straight ahead, framed through an archway is the view of Gibralmussa, the African half of the pillars of Hercules. Turning to the right sit two large stand alone rocks, between which is set a patio area with a bbq and the kidney shaped pool.

Yoga Practices, Treatments & Activities

This yoga retreat is the perfect opportunity to deepen your personal yoga practice. 
Daily morning and late afternoon yoga practices will be offered in the stunning onsite shala, led by a highly experienced yoga teacher.

Practices will be accessible to a range of experience – beginners and seasoned yogis are all welcome. Yoga mats and props are provided. 

Trips to the nearby village as well as a holistic treatment are included in this retreat package.

Food

You won't be hungry at Huerta Belinda! 

We believe it's important to nourish your body while on a yoga retreat, so three delicious and nutritious vegetarian/vegan meals are lovingly prepared every day.

Talented Chef Raul Crespo has years of experience with vegetarian and vegan food in a variety of settings around the world.

We start the day with warming tea, fruit and nuts to fuel us for our morning yoga practice. After practice we then serve a nourishing breakfast of rice, millet, quinoa or buckwheat porridge with fruit salad, toasted nuts and seeds, and freshly squeezed juice.

Lunch is the biggest meal of the day when our stomachs are best able to digest. Dinners are light to help us sleep more deeply.

Please let us know any specific dietary requirements you may have and we will ensure those are shared with Chef Raul!

FAQs

  • There is a 6am EasyJet flight from Belfast International to Málaga airport on the 27th.

    Now we know that it means waking up early so you might want to fly from Dublin instead or arrive a day early and that's all up to you!
    Many guests choose to arrive the night before the retreat begins and/or get a late flight home in order to enjoy some time in Málaga!

  • Group transportation will all be organised for you to and from the villa back to the airport.
    Times will be communicated closer to the date but there will only be one pick-up time as we are unable to provide individual transport.
    Huerta Belinda is about a 2h drive away from Málaga airport.

  • Accommodation, three plant-based meals a day, teas and coffees, a complementary massage, transportation to and from Málaga airport, and daily yoga practices are all included. Flights and travel insurance are not included.

  • Practices will be accessible to a range of experience - beginners and seasoned yogis are all welcome.

  • Please bring comfortable clothes for the week, personal toiletries, swimwear and walking/hiking shoes. Huerta Belinda is fully equipped with yoga mats and props. You are welcome to bring your own mat if you’d like. Personal towels and toiletries for the week will be provided.

  • WiFi is widely available throughout the property at Huerta Belinda.

    Mobile phones are allowed but we encourage you to disconnect as much as possible. We ask that yoga practices and group activities are phone free.

  • We know that everyone uses their retreat time a little differently - so to ensure everyone is able to have the experience they need from this time away, we respectfully ask that alcohol is not consumed in communal spaces. On the last night, we’ll offer wine with dinner. Other than that, there are lots of private spaces on the grounds where you are more than welcome to have a drink.
