Samadhi Lodge

I stayed at this retreat in March and overall had a few nice and relaxing days, especially due to the beautiful surroundings and the small group.

A very warm welcome was received by Claudia.The vegetarian meals were fabulous especially the healthy breakfast packed with delicious local fruits, cheese and honey. The location is beautiful with the Andalusian Hills back drop. The accommodation was very comfortable with pretty decorations in keeping with the yoga concept. Very relaxed break leaving me invigorated and revived.

Wunderschöne Lage, tolles Essen, tolle Aktivitäten. Claudia ist sehr herzlich, man fühlt sich sofort wohl.

Claudia and her angelic aids at the lodge are beautiful souls beyond belief!

Wat een fantastische retraite vanaf aankomst tot de laatste minuut. Met recht een ultieme ontstress kuur. Het was een hele mooie groep mensen uit verschillende landen. Prachtige omgeving. Mooi, afwisselend en leerzaam programma. Leuke uitstapjes naar o.a. een waterval en last but not least ... het eten was iedere keer weer een smaaksensatie. Een dikke 10 voor deze retraite. Dankjewel Claudia & Friends.

A real family with Claudia, Henrique, eleen, Carole, Noush, Theresa

All become friends

100% a success.

Namaste

Anastasia, una de las instructoras de yoga, super profesional, hace las cosas con mucho cariño y responsabilidad. La ubicación y las vistas.

Every Yoga Class with Claudia, Emily and Anastasia was absolutely amazing. I also learned about the nervous system and the Soundhealing with Neeltje and Lymph Drainage Massage with Anastasia was a very deep spiritual experinece. :)

Es war wirklich ein total schönes Retreat. Die Yogastunden waren total unterschiedlich und variationsreich. Das Essen war der absolute ober Hammer! Mein Zimmer war auch echt toll! Die Gespräche schön. Claudia ist einfach ein Engel!

Where shall we start?

It was a fantastic yoga retreat. We especially loved the yoga sessions and the incredibly delicious and diverse vegan and vegetarian food. Claudia and her two fellow yoga teachers, Moah and Bella, gave us such a warm welcome that we immediately felt comfortable and truly at home. The location in Sayalonga, nestled in the mountains not far from Málaga, with a pool and a stunning view of the surrounding landscape, was absolutely dreamy.

Even outside of yoga, we enjoyed wonderful excursions (hiking, beach yoga, kayaking).

We wholeheartedly recommend it!

The views are exceptional along with the host it just makes it the perfect get away.

My stay at the yoga retreat at Samhadi Lodge in Málaga was truly special. The hosting was warm and welcoming, making it easy to settle in and feel part of the community right away. The conversations were always engaging and heartfelt, creating a beautiful space for genuine connection. The cosy, warm tent accommodation was both comfortable and charming, and the food was absolutely wonderful — nutritious, delicious, and clearly prepared with care. This retreat is perfect for someone who is open to getting involved, helping create a good vibe, and showing kindness to others. A lovely bonus was the many friendly cats around the lodge, adding even more warmth to the experience. Overall, it was great value for money — I couldn’t recommend it more!

The retreat was an amazing experience, where I was able to reconnet with myself. Claudia and Neeltje are both wonderful souls, I am super greatful to be able to spend my holiday with them.

The other instructor Lauren hold a great yoga class on the beach, and gave us an introduction to cacao rituals as well. The atmosphere was cosy, I enjoyed reading my books by the fireplace. The plant-base food was tasty and nutritious, mostly from local farmers. Each day we had different activities and one night we had an interesting workshop about the nervous system. I would recommend this retreat to anyone who wants to escape from their life for a few days and find the way back to their inner soul. Overall a wonderful experience that I will cherish forever.

The yoga instructors let me feel welcome from the first moment. The places were we had the yoga classes were different every time, but there were all amazing: somewehere in the mountains and also at the beach!

I really loved the breakfast and diners we had. I didn’t expected that Vegan food was sooo delicious! And It was not only amazing to eat, but also to see!

I relaly liked the activities we had during the retrait. The hike was beautiful and after that we had a Nice lunch in a small town. The next day we went to the beach and had so much fun while playing beach volleybal!

The ither 4 ladies at the retrait already knew each other, but after all that didn’t mind. It felt like we were one group and I didn’t feel lonely during the retrait. It was really special what happend in just 3 days! I felt so much love from all the amazing people and the beautiful place… i will never forget this retrait!

Claudia, Kati and Celine create a lovely space for you to enjoy nature, get back yourself and practice yoga. They welcome you into their home and you become part of their little family with the lovely cats. The food is amazing, the balance between yoga, activities and time to relax is perfect and the setting of the house is something else. The accommodation is in Claudia’s home and because of that it’s not high end but a homely and warm atmosphere.

Wouldn’t have missed it for the world and definitely will be back one day.

The view was wonderful,the rooms were really comfortable, the food was really delicious and healthy, everything was cooked so frech and healthy, the community was unique and the teachers were so authentic.

From start to finish the retreat was a beautiful experience, the food was incredible and the workshops we did were so helpful allowing me to reconnect with myself. Claudia's life experiences and outlook on life has helped me to build a toolkit and mindset to deal with a busy lifestyle. I am super grateful. I stayed in the glamping tent and it was super comfy and cosy. The other instructors Kati and Annie were also wonderful. I would recommend this retreat to anyone who wants to learn about themselves and reconnect with their body and mind. The food was freshly prepared each day, it was super nutritious and tasty. The activities and workshops were timed perfectly with enough free time to relax around the pool with a book. A wonderful experience that i will cherish forever

The outings to the river hike and a gorgeous natural beach with snorkeling.. the carefully prepared food, the consideration of everyone, the little conversations, I am super relaxed, it felt like home.

I felt like a new woman after spending 4 days together with so powerful and inspiring women. Claudia was very kind since my booking and during my stay, I felt like we were friends from before! Delicious vegan food, stunning sunset view, good energy, and restorative activities! Highly recommended!

Es war mein erstes Yoga Retreat und ich bin begeistert. Ich habe mich super wohl gefühlt in der Samadhi Lodge sowie bei Claudia und ihrem Team. Die Yogastunden, die schöne Unterkunft inmitten der Berge, das leckere Essen und die Ausflüge haben das Retreat zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis gemacht, bei dem man sowohl sich selbst als auch andere inspirierende Frauen besser kennen lernt.

Das Programm und die Aktivitäten wurden alle sehr professionell von Claudia und ihrem Team organisiert. Man muss sich also um nichts kümmern und kann die Eindrücke genießen.

A fantastic yoga retreat in a beautiful setting which immediately brought calmness. Varied yoga sessions and some great excursions/activities into the local area. The food and host were outstanding. Would definitely come again

Nadine and Kati, volunteers at the retreat were absolutely fantastic and made me feel right at home. Claudia had the days well organised and can see she is a hard working single mum with her teenage daughter living with her, which I have great respect for.

The retreat leaders are so welcoming, easy going and a pleasure to be around. The range of activities was balanced well with time for leisure and rest, and the food was incredibly fresh, nutritious and delicious.

I loved the natural setting, being surrounded by a wonderful nature (mountains,flowers and forest) but close to some villages.

The atmosphere in the house was so welcoming and beautifly simple. Different kind of yogaclasses!

The food super good and local

The thing that surprises (still enjoying it) me the most, in a positive way, was how nice and refreshing it was to share so much with foreign people. Much thanks to others warmth and Claudia and her colleagues way of being!!!!

This was such a perfect retreat to properly reconnect with my mind, body and soul!

Claudia made me feel at home from the moment I talked to her and walked into her peaceful house, always treating everyone with care, love and respect.

The location is simply idyllic, a traditional house overlooking the mountains and nearby villages, yet, only a short walk away from Salayalonga.

The food was delicious, healthy, creative and always beautifully presented and cooked with love.

I was lucky to meet some beautiful guests on this reatreat and we all connected easily and shared soulful conversations and experiences.

The yoga classes were taking place on the terrace and were all superbly guided and adapted to everyone's needs and levels. The music played was also a great way to ease us into meditation and to enjoy the moment.

I truly felt so much more relaxed and at peace by the end of this retreat. I would highly recommend it to escape the hustle and bustle, to reconnect with nature as well as a with a serene and gentle way of life.

A huge thank you to Claudia, Kati and Neeltje!

The retreat is located in the middle of the mountains. It is perfect for forgetting your stressful everyday life. There is yoga and meditation in the morning, which is also suitable for beginners. The food is always healthy and fresh, some of it even comes from their own garden and is prepared with lots of love. There are also group activities. You can take part in these, but you don't have to. Everyone is free to make their own decisions and everything is relaxed. I felt very comfortable and welcome during my stay and it was one of my best experiences.

I had the most incredible experience. Everything was absolutely perfect!The location was nestled in the midst of breathtaking mountains, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. It was truly a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation. The vegetarian food was beyond compare - every meal felt like a heavenly delight. It was a truly holistic experience, allowing me to connect with my body, mind, and soul. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking a blissful escape and an opportunity for deep self-care.

Unser Retreat bei Claudia & Neeltje war eine traumhafte Erfahrung, die uns voll und ganz aus unserem Alltag entfliehen ließ. Samadhi Lodge & die Art & Weise, wie man dort aufgenommen wird, lässt einen sehr schnell heimelig & wohl fühlen. Alles ist sehr offen gehalten, wodurch ein direkter Kontakt & Austausch mit der Community möglich ist.

Das Essen war exzellent - stets gesund & unglaublich lecker.

Das Programm (zumindest beim 4-Tage-Retreat) ist sehr gefüllt, sodass man viel unterwegs ist. Uns hat diese aktive Art eines Retreats sehr gut gefallen, man sollte jedoch darauf eingestellt sein.

Die Yogastunden waren sehr abswechslungsreich & eine gute Mischung aus Entspannung & herausfordernd.

Wir würden es definitiv empfehlen! ♥️

Es waren 6 Tage mit teils herausfordernden Yoga-Stunden, tollem veganen Essen, inspirierenden Gesprächen und Kursen mit zwei wunderbar lebendigen Kursleiterinnen.

The location of this retreat is beautiful and Claudia and Neeltje took a lot of care of the group! Having a hike, a day at the beach but also time off made it very interesting and never boring! Thank you so much to Claudia, Neeltje and Greta for all your hard work and I appreciate everything you did for us!

I will miss the morning breakfast view, the yoga, the beautiful fruit and veggies, the sunset view, the people....and also Indy the cat !

Das Yogaretreat hat meine Vorstellungen übertroffen! Die beiden Leiterinnen Neeltje und Claudia heissen einem herzlich willkommen, sind sehr authentisch und inspirierend! Das ganze Packet mit Yoga, gesunder und köstlicher Ernährung, Meditationen, Atemarbeit, den Workshops, dem Ausflug ans Meer, der Flusswanderung und der Freizeit ist perfekt zusammengestellt. Die zusätzlich gebuchte Massage bei Neeltje war fantastisch. Sie hat gesprürt, was mein Körper brauchte. Es war eine sehr schöne und wertvolle Erfahrung! Ich kann das Samadhi Logde bzw. das Retreat bei Claudia und Neeltje wärmstens empfehlen! ❤️

It's been an amazing few days at the retreat, Claudia and Neeltje are the perfect hosts, who took very good care of us for the entire stay, energized us with the yoga and sound therapy sessions, and spoiled us with the most amazing food we could have asked for. From chill time by the pool overlooking the mountains, to the hike in the river, I can't recommend enough this retreat, it's a gem!

The best vegan food I ever had. Very caring hosts and yoga sessions with heart and experience. Lovley place

Las organizadoras, encantadoras, la comida, excelente y la localización, una maravilla!

The other people on the retreat, the location and the weather

Inspiring yoga classes, amazing food, eye for aesthetic details (food, decoration), lovely atmosphere, great group dynamics, beutiful surroundings in the mountains :) And I loved to sleep in a tent (also super beutifully decorated)❤️ Big thanks and hugs for everybody in the team🤗

EVERYTHING come and find out for yourself

I really liked the location and I defenitely loved sleeping in my glamping tent! The team put a lot of effort in preparing our meals. AND Neeltje has been the authentic soul of the retreat.

It’s an ideal combo of hike, beach, yoga, hang out and spare time. Only 1.5 hours from Malaga on the bus. A small town close for any needs. Very warm family atmosphere. Many languages spoken.

Amazing location, yoga practice and food. I was made to feel very welcome and met some lovely people on my trip. Would thoroughly recommend!

The atmosphere was very relaxing and inclusive, the food was lovely and we enjoyed our stay immensely. Thank you Claudia for welcoming us into your home.

Angels, I've already told you everything but once again I'm very grateful for this unforgettable journey and your support and care! It was a lovely place with breathtaking views from the top of the mountain, the food just couldn't be described with any words - this delicious it is! Awesome experience with hiking! Thanks for everything and really I encourage everyone to try retreat with you sometime!

Especially loved the atmosphere Claudia and her Team created- very caring, open, loving and inspiring.

The food was so amazing- very healthy/clean and delicious.

The location is very peaceful and dreamy and the activities are very well prepared and chosen.

The yoga sessions were adapted to our level, wich I appreciated. I was up for a challenge- and this is exactly what I got. But they adapt it to you and your level.

It was my first retreat and I would definitely recommend it for everyone.

Die uneingeschränkt offene Art, die Freiheit und herzliche Freundlichkeit. Das aktive Programm, die Location und das hervorragende Essen!

I cannot rate this experience high enough! We had an absolutely amazing stay at Samadhi Lodge. The setting, accommodation and food (who knew Vegan food could taste so good!!!) were outstanding. The yoga and meditation sessions were first class and our trips river hiked, kayaked at the beach were well organised. We loved everything about our stay - thank you all :-)

From the moment you arrive you are made to feel so welcome and for the days that you stay, Samadhi Lodge becomes your home. Set within the mountains, when you wake up in the morning you have the most amazing view. I enjoyed every minute of my time here, including the food, yoga, meditation and day trips. Plus with the benefit of spending the week with such lovely people, I came away feeling happier, calmer and a lot more relaxed than when I arrived! Highly recommend!

Breathtaking views, calming atmosphere & good vibes.

Outstanding vegan/vegetarian food prepared with thoughtfulness and love.

Hosts were gracious and attentive.

Also met an awesome bunch of ladies from all walks of life and from different countries!

Eating loquats right off the tree in the yard.

Belle the cat was so cute!

I do not know where to start….

I am so happy, that accidentally found this place in the internet.

I enjoyed the trip every minute, starting from having a bus from Malaga to Sayalonga enjoying the nice scenary, ending by the the trip to the airport lead by Neeltje…

Claudia, Neeltje and Zsofia were like three bees taking care of the group, of our comfort and joy. Three beautiful ladies and personalities, I couldn‘t help looking and admiring the beautiful energy and vibes they three genereate.

The house, the view, the yoga and meditation classes and especially FOOD were not just good, but extraordonary. Even being not a vegetarian, I really enjoyed every meal, even rather, that being in a good steak restaurant.

The whole trip exceeded my expactions, and I would highly recommend it to all people, who like activities and great companies, but also piecefulness and reflecting.

I will also miss a lovely Alice 🥰.

Thank you dear team for having me for those beautiful 4 days.

And see you! 😘

Kleinschaligheid, sfeer, variatie in programma

Todo! El grupo, multicultural; la deliciosa comida; las clases de yoga y las meditaciones; la dinámica que se creó en nuestro grupo; las facilitadoras; el espacio; las vistas... todo.

Thank you Claudia for this amazing experience. I really recommend this retreat. The yoga classes were nice and relaxing, the food amazing and the view with the sunset wonderful.

Loved our 4 days staying with Claudia, friends and family in the Andalusian hills. Packed lots of things in, coastal hiking, dynamic meditation, yin yoga in front of the fire and beautiful flows on the beach and terrace as the sun set. The food was incredible and laid out with such creative care and attention. We also loved meeting so many interesting people from different countries and ways of life. It was an uplifting experience from beginning to end.

My mum and I spent a wonderful time at Samadhi Lodge with Claudia and Neeltje. Not only the yoga classes, the location (stuning view) and the food were excellent, but the group atmosphere was very positive and relaxed. This owes a lot to Claudia and Neeltje's open-mindedness and cheerful attitude. The program had enough activities to not get bored, but also enough slots to do something for yourself (reading, swiming in the pool or in the sea). We ALL had plenty of sleep thanks to the quietness of the place. Yoga classes are challenging enough if you already practice, and can be adapted if you are beginner. The food was just amazing and prepared with a lot of care. Although it was a few days it felt like a long holiday, and I would love to repeat the experience.

Super nice balance between yoga, meditation, focus on stress management & free time! Food was delicious!

Claudia and Neeltje radiate genuine love and do everything (from cooking, to yoga instructing, to chats and sharing meals) with palpable joy, special care and kindness. The food was excellent, the yoga was great, but most of all, the small group feel and facilitation of a joyful space by Claudia and Neeltje was what made this a unique experience. Of course, Andalucia is absolutely magical too and nothing beats doing yoga in the sunshine with a view of the mountains!! Highly recommend this to anyone looking to restore and reconnect to themselves, a few days make such a difference. Claudia and Neeltje are simply amazing!

The experience that Claudia and Neeltje offer is truly wonderful. The location and views, the yoga, the activities, the food(!!!), the hospitality, the relaxed vibe - everything exceeded my expectations and it was a really a special few days that I spent here in Claudia’s home. I can only highly recommend that you do it too!

I enjoyed being part of their home, the location, the people, the food and the fact that our days were full without being too tiring. Good duration and cost.

I did love the view: doing yoga mornings in such a beautiful view to the sierra (sunshine and sunset) was a great to experience with the 5 senses, the smell of the Jasmine and others plants was absolutely gorgeous.

The food: OMG, is like heaven, I did enjoy every bite, the smell, presentation, Neeltje and Claudia were wonderful chefs.

Everything was with lovely details decorated, well organized, Claudia has a great sense of organizing.

The love: everyone was so kind and we really had such a great time together with Claudia, Nelltje and the other lovely ladies I met there.

I did enjoy the time with A. The lovely Claudia’s daughter .

I will come back for sure.

This was my first yoga retreat so I didn't know what to expect. However, it more than lived up to my expectations. The yoga was challenging but i was able to adapt to my level. Each day was filled with activities, I particularly enjoyed the hike on the second day, scenery was stunning. The instructors and family did everything to make me feel welcome and part of the family. Being just a small group (4) was also much better and made the experience feel more personal.

The food was exceptional. I am not vegan or vegetarian but the food was just incredible (and a lot of it!) and I will ensure to try to do 2 or 3 days a week vegan/vegetarian from now on.

I was expecting to come away feeling relaxed and my body less stressed but the experience was way more than that, on an emotional and spiritual level that I wasn't expecting. I think you get out of it as much as you want to put in to it and you have to be prepared to look into yourself and deal with the emotions it may bring.

Overall, a truly wonderful experience and one I will be always grateful for.

Nothing to complain, such nice and lovely people, very good food (so lovely and thoughtful made), the place is nice, the planned trips, a good mix of yoga classes, exactly what I needed! Thanks a lot, you guys are great 🙏❤️

Both Claudia and Neeltje were very frendly and made our stay enjoyful.

There was s good mix between yoga, tracking by the river and relaxing. The food was very good and very nicely presented.

I would really like to come back again.

Claudia’s place is unbelievable - even better than the pictures. Practising yoga (and meditating, and eating, and laughing and chatting) in front of the mountains was a privilege and a memory I’ll treasure. Claudia and Neeltje work very hard to create a safe, warm and open environment which is very special. And the food was incredible!

Everything was perfect! The first day immediately I felt very welcome in the beautiful home of Claudia. The yoga lessons of Claudia and Neeltje were amazing and I learned a lot about the deeper meaning of yoga practice. Besides that the food was absolutely delicious every day, the hiking and the kayaking were amazing and there were lovely people in my group. I came home very peaceful and relax. I’m very grateful that I had this experience 😊

The yoga retreat exceeded all of my expectations - spectacular views, a dream like house with a pool overlooking the mountains, amazing restaurant quality yet healthy food, yoga to suit all levels, and a great group of people. I particularly liked that this is a small retreat and really feels like a family. This made it feel even more relaxed. With a beautiful walk in the mountains and also a day at the beach, it felt like we were there for more than 4 days. Claudia was an amazing host, accommodating me at the very last minute with great communication. Neeltje was such a dedicated volunteer that put her heart and soul in everything she did, especially the meals — so divine! I recommend this treat to anyone that only has a few days to unwind and recharge…highly worth it! Thank you and I may return :) xx

El retiro fue una experiencia inmejorable, el lugar impecable… me sentía como en casa… en un ambiente relajante y con actividades acorde a mis expectativas. Las anfitrionas me hicieron sentir acompañada y arropada, en los pocos días que estuve me ayudaron a conectar conmigo misma. Las comidas extraordinarias y tuvieron muy en cuenta mi problema de alergias alimentarias proporcinandome la dieta adaptada a mis necesidades. No tengo ninguna duda de que en cuanto pueda volveré!!! Lo recomiendo a cualquiera que necesite encontrar un poco de tranquilidad, equilibrio y diversión para obtener grandes beneficios en poquitos días!! Las anfitrionas son un amir!! 🤗🤗

First time for me and a beginner at Yoga! Made very welcome and was put at ease. Beautiful location with stunning views, the perfect setting for enjoying this new experience. The food was fantastic and everyday different, colourful and varied and well thought out. The classes were great but a little hard for me at times as a beginner but did what I could and felt comfortable. Will definitely return and would love to see Claudia again as a beautiful and fantastic host! 🙏

I just finished a 4 day retreat with Claudia and Nilcha, two beautiful, generous, open, wise and amazing souls. Amazing food, fun adventures, and healing yoga overlooking a beautiful mountain, all put together in a loving, nurturing and balanced way. Nilcha's massage was great too.

La villa est magnifique, très bien située avec une vue sur les montagnes incroyables. Il fait chaud la journée mais frais le soir et c'était super agréable. La randonnée dans la rivière est géniale. Les cours de yoga étaient tous intenses et super énergisants ou relaxants👌. La nourriture végé/vegan est délicieuse. La plage était super aussi. Claudia et Neeltze sont incroyables. Vraiment, j'ai passé 4 jours magiques🤩

Die warme, familiäre Atmosphäre. Das leckere, frische und gesunde Essen, welches immer liebevoll arrangiert wurde.

Die Yoga Einheiten waren abwechslungsreich und inspirierend. Last not least ist die Location einfach traumhaft.

Muchas gracias

Une vraie bienveillance de la part de Claudia, Neeltje et Enrique.

Des cours de yoga adaptés à tous

La randonnée en rivière était géniale

La méditation dynamique a été une expérience bénéfique.

La rencontre enrichissante avec les autres participants au stage.

Je suis enchantée de ce séjour et le recommande vivement.

Le lieu est a coupé le souffle, cette terrasse immense qui donne sur des montagnes, avec que de la verdure à perte de vue, les couchers de soleil y sont magnifiques. Chaque matin, chaque soir, Claudia et son équipe nous préparait des plats sains, délicieux, extrêmement bien présentés, toute la journée thé détox à notre disposition, randonnée sportive mais qui "décrasse bien" , les sessions de yoga et méditation sont totalement adaptées aux non initiés.

El lugar tan espectacular con esas montañas de telón de fondo, la Maroma presidiendo el paisaje, la amorosa Claudia con sus enseñanzas de yoga y meditación, la vitalidad de Nelly y su actitud ante la vida, sus deliciosas comidas, la atmósfera tan especial creada con los participantes de diferentes nacionalidades... en definitiva un regalo para el cuerpo, el alma y el espíritu.

NAMASTE

Yoga, bioenergia

It was exactly what I was hoping for and needed. A time to relax and unwind in an absolutely beautiful location. Already missing the piece and friendly hosts.

La finca de Claudia es un sueño, la comida que ofrece deliciosa, el programa es adaptado, clases de yoga personalizables... una experiencia muy nutritiva.

I like the hospitality and the location. Of course, the food was made with love, so very appreciate! I like the pool and its views! I enjoyed the yoga classes, as a yoga teacher I felt that some poses were also challenging for me, which I liked.

Claudia was lovely and buzzing with positive vibes. She welcomed me into her home which is in the most amazing location up in the mountains. It’s so tranquil and allows you to bond with nature. Food totally amazing! I was up for tying new things and could not believe How tasty food could be with no fat and sugar, delicious!

The yoga was twice daily and done on the terrace with the backdrop of the mountains, it’s magical, there is no better place. Claudia has all the equipment you need for class including incense and music.

I found the classes personally challenging but very enjoyable, I’ll keep practising that head stand!

The best bit for me was Claudias knowledge of life, ways of living, mindfulness, meditation, positivity, shakras, spiritually and much more which she shared openly with me. I feel like I’ve learned so much in a short space of time

Thank you x

Tout nous a plu, la situation géographique les activités yoga et hiking, le partage, la cuisine et l'atmosphère qu'il règne chez Claudia. Si vous recherchez une retraite hors des sentiers battus et une région magnifique à découvrir, ne cherchez pas plus loin vos chakras seront comblés.

It was great being such a small group. Everyone seemed to click straight away, so it was a nice relaxed atmosphere. Good food, predominantly vegan.

Great self-made food! Cozy atmosphere and great yoga lessons. I was at that time the only guest and Claudia took care of me very well ;) we spend some great time together!

Let’s start off with the positive - the finca is located within beautiful surroundings, from the terrace you have a breathtaking view on the Andalusian mountains. The retreat programme of activities was well chosen and the places we went were beautiful. The food was healthy and tasty. Also, the host‘s volunteer was sweet and really caring.

Mir hat sehr gut die Finca gefallen, der kurze Fußweg zum Dorf. Das ich Yin-Yoga kennen und schätzen gelernt habe. Außerdem das gemütliche Zimmer sowie das reichhaltige Essen.

The area is totally relaxing! To start your day on the terrace with this stunning view was unbelievable. I also really liked the combination of yoga and hiking (especially for me as a beginner of yoga).

The food was delicious and of course very healthy. For me it was enough whereas we didn’t have lunch (but you had opportunities to get something when we were on our day trips). What I also really enjoyed were the day trips (to the beach and to the mountains). This gave some variety to the yoga and u still had your time off.

I can totally recommend this retreat and would love to come back some day!

The food was excellent as was the yoga instruction. The balance between relaxing and activity was perfect for me. The bed was the comfiest I've ever slept in. The surroundings, both at the lodge and in the vicinity were beautiful. You are so close to nature.

I was exposed to the wider aspects of yoga in a light way, I felt completely able to do things at my own pace. It was certainly not an issue that I was the least experienced yogi!

Depending on what you are looking for I can't recommend the more intimate set up of this small group retreat enough.

Claudia creates a nurturing and kind environment where you are able to reconnect with yourself. Small group size so you don’t feel overwhelmed and Claudia caters the yoga to you ability. Food, environment and people were lovely.

Claudia's house is beautiful with fantastic views over the mountains.She looked after us well and we enjoyed her home made food both at breakfast and dinner. The different types of yoga were interesting and expertly led and the hiking was relaxed with beautiful views. I may be biased as I love both yoga and hiking but I could not have had such a perfect break as this :)

Loved the location , views were amazing, good wholesome healthy food.

Claudia's home is absolutely gorgeous - very clean and comfortable. The food was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond my expectations. We had a really nice mix of trips around the local area and to the beach, hiking, and yoga. What really made this stay amazing was the company! The other members of the retreat brought a range of really insightful conversation and really made the atmosphere truly relaxing and restorative. Would definitely recommend!

My wife and I wanted to celebrate her birthday with our first Yoga retreat. We felt blessed that our hosts and the other 2 guests made the four days so much fun. The food prepared for us was fantastic, so colourful and tasty. We really enjoyed the yoga sessions, the varied styles and locations. Thank you, Claudia.

Claudia hat einen wunderbaren Rückzugsort in den Bergen von Malaga geschaffen und ein ganz tolles Programm für das Retreat entwickelt. Nicht zu viel, nicht zu wenig. Wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt und aufgetankt :) Definitive Empfehlung.

Fabulous food, an amazing atmosphere, great company, views to die for. A wonderful fun informative 4 days. Thank you Claudia. X

Samadhi Lodge is a perfect mix of hiking, yoga and relaxation, offering panoramic mountain views, stunning sunsets and beautiful healthy food. Claudia is a fantastic host, instructor and guide making sure we were all very well looked after. Highly recommended!

The location of the lodge is absolutely stunning. The accommodation was clean and comfortable with all needs met.

The food was totally amazing. Home cooked, healthy and plentiful with many of the fruits picked from the garden.

Claudia is a great host and made sure her guests were well looked after. A great mix of yoga, hiking and relaxation.

I had a really wonderful time, loved the hikes and particularly the trip to the beach! Yoga was scheduled at good times of the day and were taken place at a truly wonderful lodge with one session at the beach. Catering was excellent and Claudia was brilliant at ensuring my dietary requirements were met. I also slept so well in my room! Thank you so much Claudia and Helene for all the hospitality and for a truly wonderful experience, I felt like I stayed there longer than 3 nights!

We met great, inspiring, beautiful people ! Fell in love with the mountains. Delicious home made food ! Will for sure come back with Hity 🐶

A lovely retreat in a wonderful location. All the people I met there are amazing individuals, and it was so nice being around them, always positive and smiling.. The yoga lessons were very nice as well, and the hikes were quite interesting. One was the Nerja river walk, a unique experience, where one literally walks in running water almost from start to finish, with beautiful surroundings.. The food was really nice, many thanks to the lovely cooks ^^ And the accommodations were quite nice also. Thank you !

A lovely, relaxing retreat with beautiful scenic views. Claudia was absolutely lovely and hospitable, alongside Paige. Food was delicious and really enjoyed the river walk excursion!

Fantastic setting, instructor, food and company! Hope to return soon as it was just perfect!

I had a brilliant time on this yoga retreat. It was a beautiful location and was wonderful that Claudia took us on some local trips. My highlight was the water walk! And the yoga was great. It was the perfect mix of relaxing and active! Claudias food was amazing too! Thanks so much for a wonderful time xxxx

A retreat like no other - you’re taken care of so well and it’s the perfect balance of activity and relaxation time. Claudia is absolutely wonderful! 11/10!!!

Very good food, excellent yogateacher and nice place.

This was a perfect 4 days. The yoga and the hiking was complemented by relaxation in a calm and tranquil environment. We were very blessed to meet some wonderful people there, the company was excellent.

I had the loveliest days at Samadhi Lodge. First of all the location and the surroundings were amazing... being surrounded by the andalusian mountains and so much nature was beautiful and very relaxing. Being guided by Claudia was amazing. I really enjoyed the mix of the more dynamic, faster Vinyasa Flows and the calmer, meditative Hata Yoga she did with us. She also welcomed us very warmly and just radiated with positiv energy. The food was a class of it's own. Delicious vegan meals always prepared with so much love and care and I especially loooved the desserts. The hikes were beautiful too. Maybe the hours will have to be adjusted in the summer months because it tends to get really hot during the day, but other than that it was so enjoyable being out in the mountains and then coming back and having a swim in the pool. Yoga at the beach was also a very unique experience.

Overall I had the best time at Samadhi Lodge and really got to relax, calm down and read a lot which was exactly what I wanted. I can only recommend!

A fantastic four day yoga retreat with hiking - felt as though we had been away for a fortnight. Claudia is a fantastic host: the homemade meals were utterly delicious and very filling with a relaxed attitude (I.e. it was fine for us to bring in some wine for our evening meal). We all asked for the recipes, espefinally the yummy breakfast granola and the sweet potato falafel.

The yoga covered different types (Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin) and both instructors were great at encouraging and explaining things to us. Two of our group were beginners and the third a qualified yoga teacher: the classes suited all ranges and abilities with Sara and Claudia "tweaking" our positions to get the most out of the classes.

A thoroughly relaxing holiday in a great environment - the maximum is five so there is a real boutique yoga experience to it. Already wondering when I can go back...

Stop thinking and just book this retreat!!! Claudia is such an amazing, professional and lovely yoga instructor. She is very experienced and challenges you in a motivated way. I came back so so relaxed from this stay, everything was just perfect: the accommodation, the food, yoga, the hikes, everything was well organized and an amazing experience all in all. I Wil definitely come back to this beautiful house and people. Thank you Claudia!!

Claudia is so warm and hospitable. Her house is very comfortable and you relax immediately. The views from the terrace are incredible and so relaxing for the mind. You won’t find a ‘yoga studio’ like it again!

The food was incredible and and the al fresco dining in the evening with the sunset is so special. Such a bonus to be able to use the pool at any time too. I really had a lovely time.

Loved the beautiful house with pool, great yoga en nice hikes. The food was amazing!

It was a great mix of hiking and yoga. Mountains and sea, dynamic yoga and yin. We also had a visiting guest(Sam) who took us through some wonderful mindfulness seasons. The views were amazing, in the mountains and on the coastal trek.

The food was wholesome, tasty and inspired me to try some recipes at home. Thank you Claudia x

The experience was really perfect with Claudia a welcoming retreat host, a gorgeous setting and you get to enjoy varied activities with plenty of relaxation time too. The location of the house is really special, set on the hilltop away from other other houses with stunning surrounding views of the mountain valley and the heart of the village in walking distance. The house itself is homely and well equipped and Claudia makes you feel at ease there. The programme ensured there was plenty of yoga, some really well paced scenic hikes, excellent mindfulness sessions, time to relax by the pool and beach and lovely meal times with yummy healthy food. The small group size is great, you get to meet a few new people but it still feels really cozy and personalised. Don’t hesitate to book!

Really lovely yoga and hiking in an absolutely stunning location. Claudia was really welcoming and you really felt at home. The days were full but with plenty of time to relax and I went to bed feeling happy every night. Also the food is incredible, especially the home grown lemons!

The retreat was fantastic start to finish. Claudia is a talented instructor, the routines were challenging but accessible, and I did some poses I have never attempted before. I loved the coastal hike and doing yoga on Nerja beach to the sound of waves crashing. The food! Absolutely delicious, so much love is put into it.

The pool area and view of the mountains was a beautiful serene place to be and enjoy a book.

All in all a beautifully soul nourishing experience 🙏🌞

The retreat was incredibly beautiful and tranquil, situated in the Andalusian mountains not far from Malaga. Claudia is very inspiring as a person and a great host, and it was a pleasure meeting both her and Ulla, who were there helping with the practical stuff.

We were only three people attending the retreat, which made it a cosy, homey and very personal experience. We had delicious vegan and sugar free food with healthy cake for dessert every night, and they had even made me homemade soy yogurt for the mornings, since I cannot have lactose. Also, great yoga with a mountain view or at the beach, and beautiful, manageable hiking trips in the area. I would love to go back someday!

Really nice location and accommodation in the mountains; delicious and abundant food, mostly vegan; excellent yoga classes and hikes. Highly recommended yoga retreat

Claudia runs these short retreats, she has an amazing amount of energy and welcomed us fully into her family home. The yoga sessions were all very enjoyable and well thought out. Samadi Lodge looks out over amazing mountains and the hiking was great! Claudia's home cooking was also really yummy, filling and satisfying and it was great to share meals together. Overall this retreat was amazing, particularly for the price we paid (225 EUR each for my partner and I on a Monday evening to Thursday afternoon retreat).

Everything was excellent.

Reviving yoga in beautiful surroundings, the coastal hike offering fantastic views amidst the scent of rosemarybushes. We had wonderful sunshine all along. Claudia had a co-instructor, Sara from Sweden, doing some excellent yin- and hathaclasses. Claudia is very forthcoming, cooks delicious vegan dinner. Lovely group of people.

The location is draw dropping and Claudia the host and teacher is lovely, she’s so warm and welcoming and facilitating for your needs and her home is beautiful.

It was stunning practising yoga overlooking the mountains and Claudia is a great teacher!

The food is also really tasty and nourishing and I will definitely return.

I loved the mixture of yoga and walking in the mountains. The scenery was beautiful, the yoga was challenging and relaxing at the same time, and walks were of a length to be a good workout but still accessible to all. Claudia made lots of delicious home-made food and welcomed us into her beautiful home. For me, it was a perfect few days and really good value for money.

Claudia is a wonderful teacher, gentle, funny and nurturing with a great sense of humour. She does not not preach but just in conversation, explained how her experiences may also reward us in a similar way.

She made our stay relaxing yet also stimulating with an emphasis not just on yoga as exercise but a life philosophy. Also as a non vegetarian, she is a stunning cook! The food was amazing! I may yet be converted!

Claudia was an amazing instructor and host ..... she really makes you fermat home. Her home made cooking was really good especially her home made granola :) .... the venue was in a really near area ... very peacful

The views, the atmosphere, yoga locations and the hiking were optimum.
