Retreat location
Ashram Villa Sunshine is a beautiful four-story house with a magnificent view of the Mediterranean Sea. It is situated on a hillside in the town of Sitges, only 30 minutes from Barcelona. Sitges history dates back to the 17th century during the great ages of the early 20th century, which is evident in the picturesque urban settlement of the periodic Art Nouveau style.
There are beautiful winding alleys with prickly balconies and fragrant flowers. Here, you will find everything from lovely shops, small restaurants, and grand lounge bars to discos and pubs for all tastes. In Sitges, something is celebrated almost every weekend; carnivals, religious festivals, gay pride week, children’s and film festivals, local food, and wine tasting days, as well as veteran car rally, is just part of the wide range. A sprawling life all year round, Sitges is a haven for the people in Barcelona.
