Dreams do come true...this YEAR we were able to realise ours and 'host a retreat abroad dream'  and we did it with gusto!! At the absolutely stunning Cuatre Finques in southern Spain. Cuatre Finques is a stunning boutique hotel in the hills situated halfway between Alicante and Valencia and run by a very special friend Nicky. This venue is a real gem, a rare find, a hidden escape. It is an obvious location for yoga retreat and a little niche has been carved out in offering a comfortable and beautiful location for retreats. 

 

The hotel is located within walking distance (800m) to Xalo, a small Spanish wine-making town in the Marina Alta region of the Costa Blanca. The idyllic Xaló Valley and wonderful Sierra Bernia mountain range are on your doorstep offering a wide range of activities and places to visit. The hotel has everything you need to completely unwind, well equipped en suite rooms, daily room cleaning, internet access, sun loungers and a pool. All you need to do is turn up and switch off!

 

We are so fortunate to now be able to host our retreats abroad at Cuatre Finques and have had the most incredible feedback...so we have secured the  new dates immediately. And for 2026 we are offering a similar time table to last year but with an additional night and an additional workshop. This is an absolute treat for you to stay in this beautiful location, the dates are 24th - 28th May 2026 and the retreat will include daily yoga, meditation, deep relaxation, creative workshops and massage. Relax and unwind by the pool in the stunning Spanish countryside away from the noise and hustle of everyday life.

 

What is included? One group transfer to and from Alicante Bed and breakfast, drinks on arrival, early afternoon smoothies and fruit, as well as three evening meals and one 30 minute massage.

Super suggestion...Extend your stay by spending a couple of nights in Valencia or Alicante! The unique Spanish city full of culture, history, and delicious food. This years retreat many people stayed either side of their time with us and LOVED the mix of attending the retreat and site seeing too. 

​​​

Closest airports Alicante and Valencia- flights not included in our price. We offer one group pickup from Alicante to and from the venue incuded in your package. If you are unable to make this pickup an drop off due to flight variation and arranging other elements to your trip we recommend hiring a car and can also offer local taxi numbers. 

​

Once we establish our clients for the trip, we then set up a supportive and friendly Whats App group for conversations and questions, some of you will be going alone, some in twos, or a bigger group and all are usually  beginners to yoga...we are so thrilled that this time of year and venue is becoming a staple part of Zen Dens offerings. 

​

Prior to the trip we arrange two 'get togethers' -  a meal out and then a night in at Zen Den. This gives us the opportunity to get to know one another so we don't feel like 'strangers' on arrival at the retreat. Don't worry if you can't make it to either! You'll be surrounded by women who accept and embrace you! 

​

Please note that Retreat to Peace is a female only escape. Zen Den will be adding and growing to include mixed sex and family retreat options.
