Setting the Scene

Under the Andalusian sun, surrounded by citrus trees and birdsong, Zenya Retreats is a peaceful sanctuary designed especially for retreats. Just 25 minutes from Málaga Airport and the Mediterranean coast, it blends nature, comfort and considered design to create a calm, uplifting space for meaningful experiences to unfold.

  • Soon to be 9 spacious double bedrooms plus a separate poolside apartment, giving flexibility for teachers, assistants and guests
  • A private villa setting with living and dining space, fully equipped kitchen and a large terrace for shared meals under the stars
  • Three yoga spaces; the lawns, a deck (that can be covered) and a spacious yurt.
  • Six-seater sauna, five-seater hot tub and a 10 x 5 metre pool with loungers for restorative downtime between sessions

Set amid orange trees and green, open spaces, in the valley of Alhaurín de la Torre with mountain views and easy access to nearby villages, golf and the coast.

A retreat here feels effortless: the space, the flow and the facilities are all designed to support you, so you can focus on the journey you are guiding. Maurice and his family just cannot do enough to ensure your time here is all you hoped and more.

Why I chose Zenya Retreats

I first came across Zenya by chance while exploring the Málaga region – one of those serendipitous meetings that stays with you. Tucked into the hills above the coast; calm yet vibrant, beautifully put together yet quietly grounded. I always say the people make a place – well let me tell you Maurice will make sure your stay here is everything you hoped.

This property has been intentionally created for Retreats. The flow of the spaces, the dedicated platforms and yurt, the treatment room, teacher accommodation and thoughtful little touches all speak to people who truly understand what it takes to hold a retreat well. It feels like a partner in the process rather than just a backdrop.

Treading Lightly

While Zenya offers refined comfort, its heart lies in simplicity and connection to place. The gardens are planted with fruit trees and green spaces, encouraging guests to spend time outside, notice the changing light and feel part of the surrounding landscape.

Menus are shaped around fresh seasonal produce from the region.
