I was looking for a holiday for me and my daughter where we could ride together and stay in a nice place with great vegetarian food. This holiday gave us all of this and the yoga was an added bonus. Connie was a great guide and her horses were forward going and well looked after. . Suryalila is a beautiful place to stay with so much care and attention to the space. I would recommend it.

Beautifully site with lots of colorful Eastern decorations. The tents with their furniture are very comfortable and the pool has a good size. The garden is very well mainted. The mostly vegan food buffet is a particular highlighted and each meal is lovingly presented. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The horses were also very well behaved and easy to ride! The sunset ride is a real highlight. For the Yoga classes you are able to use a lot of the provided props and the flow integrated a few poses new to me which was great to try.

Relaxing environment

The first thing I’d like to stress is that I felt transformed and regenerated after only 5 days here, I’m sleeping better, feeling calmer, thinking positively and I’m so much more grounded. For this alone I’ll definitely be back!! I visited alone and found that there was plenty to do by myself but also a host of friendly people so I never felt lonely! The yoga is once or twice a day, with evening sessions being restorative, so a great wind down before dinner. I stayed in one of the tents which turned out better than I expected! Comfortable beds, plug sockets, a fan, chest of drawers and hanging rail so you can make yourself at home. The tent is beautifully cool at night but gets very hot in the daytime (in June) so you have to branch out! However, the centre has ample communal space for the guest numbers so there’s always a shady hammock or a big soft sofa if you need a siesta! The food was consistently incredible, always delicious, varied and plentiful. The produce is largely from their thriving garden and the staff will happily chat to you about their organic sustainable practices. The centre appears to be designed to nourish the land. Definitely get a Thai Yoga Massage, which has to be experienced to be believed. Conny cares deeply for her 9 beautiful horses and So service is more unique than the usual “trekking” business. The horses comfort comes first so riding is at cooler times of day only (great for humans too). The horses give 100% and there’s one for every ability.

An amazing place, with beautiful views, delicious food, fantastic yoga and horse riding, and warm, welcoming people!

Couldn’t recommend it enough, I hope to go back!

Allgemeine atmosphere,

Super essen,

Sehr gute yogastunden.

Highlight für mich war reiten mit Connys pferde!

Alles war sehr gut organisiert. Auch das Reiten. Yoga Facilities sehr schön und gut ausgestattet.

Wundervolle Atmosphäre und sehr liebevoll geführt.

Man fühlt sich sofort in die Suryalila Familie aufgenommen und es war alles perfekt.

Das vegetarische und teilweise vegane Essen war beeindruckend schön hergerichtet frisch gekocht und einfach nur lecker, da könnte sich manches Sternehotel noch etwas abschauen. Essen und Trinken ist mehr als ausreichend vorhanden.

Unterkunft ebenfalls sehr schnuckelig und liebevoll eingerichtet und vor allem absolut sauber.

Einfach perfekt um mal auszubrechen aus dem Alltag und kpl. abzuschalten.

Tout était parfait :

- le lieu est isolé et très calme, parfait pour se reposer

- les cours sont très intéressants et stimulants sans être trop difficiles. J'ai pu faire pour la 1ère fois un cours de Yin yoga qui était génial ! Un grand merci à Ellen !

- la nourriture est divine !

Au mois d'octobre c'était parfait, il fait encore très beau, ce qui était agréable pour se reposer au bord de la piscine ou faire de l'équitation.

Toute l'équipe est sympathique et disponible si besoin. Un grand merci à tous pour ce superbe séjour.

Ein wirklich paradiesischer Ort in Andalusien, an dem man einfach abschalten kann - ob beim Yoga, Reiten durch die Felder, Relaxen am Pool oder beim Anblick des Sonnenuntergangs zwischen Sonnenblumenfeldern. Alles ist hier rundum schön, die Unterkünfte sauber und rustikal modern, das Essen ein Schlaraffenland für veggies und das Personal super hilfsbereit und freundlich. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt und komme sicher nochmal wieder.

The staff at Suryalila are very warm, super friendly and relaxed. They cater to your every need and the rooms are very clean and pleasant. The food is amazing. It’s lovingly prepared and exquisitely presented and the package gives you three meals per day.

The facilities, food and accommodation were superb. I booked this holiday primarily for the yoga, but actually enjoyed the horse riding even more. This was thanks to Connie's calm and friendly manner and her beautiful horses. She was also very helpful when I was booking the holiday, giving advice about transfers and other practicalities. All the yoga instructors were very professional and provided excellent instruction, especially Camilla.

Suryalilia is an amazing place - oozing love, compassion and harmony - the perfect retreat centre. Having broken my leg 3 months ago, I needed somewhere to heal my damaged mind , body and spirit and to explore more movement again.

Suryalilia delivered this in buckets. The teachers were all very patient- always cueing alternatives to the poses for me and the place would soothe the most troubled soul, including mine.

I chose the yoga and Spanish language week because I thought I would need something else to keep me occupied due to my limited mobility (no long distance hikes for me). It was a great choice. We had 3 hours of lessons Mon - Fri before lunch. Who knew learning Spanish could be so much fun! We spent a lot of time laughing. And now I’ve come away well on my way to my Level A1 Spanish certificate thanks to our incredible language teacher brought in from the local language school.

And finally there were the nightingales - in late April the place is surrounded by nightingales singing their rich, clear bubbling song that lifts the heart like no other songbird.

I’m already wondering when I can return.

Beautiful place, fantastic food.

I had a great time on the Christmas Yoga retreat in Suryalila.

Having Yoga classes in the Dome is a fantastic experience . I will definitely be back

I have done adventure week and I have to say it was great!!!! Everything was super organized :))

Tolle Umgebung, Ruhe, Yoga, gutes Essen, tolle Menschen

Werde zurückkehren, es war eigentlich top

Het paardrijden en de yoga waren fijn en relaxed. Je ziet echt hoe de natuur tot leven komt in de lente. Het eten was fantastisch. De sauna was een overwacht genoegen (ondanks de badkleding) met een duik in het koude de zwembad als toppunt.

Everything !

great combination of yoga (chance to experience different styles) and outdoor activities, wonderful people, delicious home-made food, laid back atmosphere, beautiful nature

A wonderful retreat and lovely people everywhere

“Adventure and yoga holiday”

I actually think this is a perfect holiday. This was my second yoga and adventure here because i just loved it so much!

Hiking, cycling, canyoning, via ferrata in Ronda, kayaking and trips to gorgeous local towns and villages PLUS twice daily yoga and GORGEOUS food. I recommend a tent because you have easy access to the outdoor showers and composting toilets, which are fabulous. If you wanted more there is a flamenco class, acroyoga, a sauna and a walk to visit a local artist's house. I have no doubt I'll be back for a third time!

“Amazing week of adventure and yoga”

I would highly recommend this retreat to everyone! Or at least those who are up for incredible hikes, amazing canyoning, beautiful bike rides, to just name a few activities. It is an action packed week, but includes a well earned rest day, but I felt incredibly energised from the week. I shared a room in the main house with 3 others, it was very spacious, very clean and had beautiful art work and a big ensuite bathroom... The yoga twice a day was really good. Lidiya is an excellent teacher and group leader. The classes were demanding and challenging but never too much so. The food is really good.. I had read all the good reviews before I left and I wasn't disappointed! ! There is one thing for sure... I will definitely be back. If you have any opportunity to visit this amazing gem of a yoga centre I would do it.
