Is this retreat right for me?

Our retreats are designed for people who are curious, open-minded and genuinely interested in exploring meditation, mindfulness, Yoga and new experiences.

This is an immersive, participatory retreat, thoughtfully designed as a connected journey from beginning to end.

You don't need to arrive wanting to change your life or knowing exactly what you're looking for. All we ask is that you come with a willingness to learn and a little curiosity about yourself and the world around you.

Sometimes the most meaningful discoveries are the ones we never expected. 

Not at all! Beginners are very welcome, as are those who already have an established practice.

You'll be guided by Clover, an experienced yoga, meditation and mindfulness teacher and practitioner.

Our daily yoga classes are adapted to different abilities, while our meditation and mindfulness sessions are designed to encourage you to explore, learn and challenge yourself, whatever your level of experience.

Whether you're completely new to these practices or have been practising for years, we'll meet you where you are, support your journey and encourage you to take your practice further.

If you're a beginner, come with a willingness to learn. If you're more experienced, come with a willingness to explore beyond what you already know. There is always something new to discover.

Yes. Our yoga, meditation, mindfulness workshops, guided mountain hikes and group experiences are all important parts of the retreat programme.

Each experience has been thoughtfully chosen to complement the others, creating a journey of learning, reflection, connection and enjoyment.

We ask guests to participate in the full programme and support one another by approaching the activities with an open mind and genuine willingness to engage.

Of course, individual activities can be adapted where appropriate for physical abilities, health and wellbeing. No one is expected to push through physical pain or participate in something unsafe.

You'll also have scheduled free time each day to relax and enjoy 

Yes! A digital detox is an important part of your experience at Casa Ángeles. No one will take your phone, we simply ask you refrain from using it.

We completely understand that stepping away from your phone might feel a little unusual, especially when you're used to using it all the time and it is a way keeping in touch with family and loved ones.

Please don't worry, you won't be out of reach.

Before the retreat, you're welcome to give your loved ones Clover's contact number. If anyone needs to reach you, they can contact her directly and she'll make sure you receive their message straight away.

We also understand that you may want to let your family know how you're getting on. You may like to send a short voice message or record little video messages for them. 

What we gently encourage you to avoid is getting drawn into conversations, messages, social media or everyday matters back home. It's surprising how quickly even a simple conversation can bring us back into the worries, responsibilities and distractions we've come away to take a break from.

These five days are a very small amount of time in the bigger picture of your life. Give yourself permission to truly enjoy them, without feeling you need to be available to everyone, all the time.

And don't worry about missing those special moments! You're welcome to bring a digital or disposable camera to capture memories at appropriate times. Clover will also be taking photographs and videos throughout the retreat, which she'll share with you on Monday straight after you leave.

That way, you can simply relax, be present and enjoy the experience as it unfolds.

The world will still be there when you return. This is your time to be here. 🌿

Casa Ángeles.

Casa Ángeles is situated in Gaucín, a beautiful white village high in the mountains of Andalucía.

Because of our location, most of our walks can involve uneven paths, rocky terrain, hills and climbs, typically lasting one to two hours and occasionally longer.

You don't need to be an experienced hiker, but a reasonable level of fitness and confidence walking in the mountains are important.

Clover grew up in this area and loves sharing beautiful trails, hidden corners and extraordinary places that visitors might never otherwise discover.

Mindfulness is often woven into our hikes, allowing us to experience the mountains in a completely different way.

Absolutely! Many guests join us on their own.

With just 6–8 guests, it's a wonderfully welcoming environment where new friendships and genuine connections can naturally develop.

You'll have opportunities to share experiences and enjoy the company of others, while still having plenty of space for yourself.

We welcome just 6–8 guests, keeping the experience intimate, personal and boutique.

This allows Clover to give everyone individual attention and creates a lovely sense of connection within the group.
