Samyama Fitness have a fantastic authentic Spanish retreat in the heart of the beautiful city of Granada. It’s nestled right under the Alhambra Palace & has great views whilst being tucked away enough to be peaceful in its tranquil gardens and on the terrace, plus around the refreshing swimming pool. However, it’s also just a short walk down the hill into Plaza Nueva and Granada old town where there’s so much to do and see whether it’s shopping, sight-seeing or a drink with some tapas to watch the world go by. I’ve loved both my trips to the retreat because you can do as much or as little as you want with the classes, the staff are all so knowledgeable and helpful they make it a real experience and everything is very relaxed so it feels like a proper holiday. Also the food is excellent and even though I’m an avid meat eater back at home I found all the meals both delicious and filling. Whilst I felt better from having a break from eating meat I did allow myself a treat of some Iberico ham at the end of the week along with a glass of wine at my favourite tapas bar Bodegas Castaneda, a bustling atmospheric place full of locals & tourists, just off Plaza Nueva. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to combine a yoga retreat, relaxing holiday by the pool and city break with plenty to do all into one trip. I can’t wait to get back there again this summer myself.
