At Castilio de Monda, we offer a unique retreat of Yoga combined with trekking, set within the wild nature of the Andalusian mountains. Based within the historically deep boutique Andalusian castle – Castilio de Monda, a historically unique hotel which geographically lends itself perfectly to sunset trekking, hidden emerald lagoons and the rolling majestic Andalusian mountain ranges. The perfect calm ambience for yoga sessions within the wild Andalusian mountain ranges.

Immerse your mind and body in the historically steeped Castillo de Monda. A unique boutique 25 room hotel, which geographically lends itself to stunning sunset walks with hidden lagoons and cascading waterfalls.

Here you will be taken on a journey not just through the euphoria and adrenaline of high rocky mountain trails and hidden emerald lagoons, but a journey through the inspiring dramatic history of Andalucía from Moorish fortresses to volcanic Roman hidden bathing spas.

Follow the very footsteps of the shepherd from Paulo Coehlo´s novel The Alchemist, through the bohemian ancient town of Bolonia Tarifa. You´ll see the inspiration of the location with its towering white sand dunes and forests reaching vast white sandy beaches.

The yoga trekking retreat holidays will take you deep into less travelled locations close to Castilio Monda, sampling the finest local traditional cuisines Andalucía has to offer, always stopping in a rustic small restaurant to refuel. Trekking in different locations close to the castle, from deep pine forests to high rocky trails, looking across to North Africa’s mountain ranges.

The yoga sessions will be taken by Hanne Sofie Herland. Hanne’s approach to structuring the retreats creates karmic balance from her wealth of knowledge in Vikasa yoga and meditation training. The yoga sessions will take place on the grounds of the castle whilst the meditation sessions can take place in the tranquil ambience on the Andalusian mountains.
