January 30th -4th February
New Year Fitness, Pilates & Yoga Retreat with Raie
Join Raie for this fun, vibrant and rejuvenating new year retreat and kick start your year positively! Expect a wonderful blend of many movement disciplines - strength training, fitness and circuits, pilates, yoga, pre and post natal specific work for anyone needs it, and targeted 1-1 PT sessions for all guests!
Morning will begin with a bang - we'll work hard, build up a sweat and challenge ourselves. Afterwards we'll refuel with a big plentiful breakie, before spending time relaxing, reading, dipping in the pool, strolling around the amazing landscape and local trails, taking naps, getting a massage, and chatting to new friends.
Evenings will be restorative and relaxing - including yin yoga, gentle slow flow yoga, meditation and mobility. 3 delicious veggie meals per day are included, and at Oru El Saltador, we work with incredible local chefs who are passionate about plant-rich, colourful, nourishing seasonal food that nourish us from the inside out. The menu is designed with care and approved by our Oru nutritionist to make sure it is nutritionally balanced whilst still being totally delicious! We'll be arranging two optional excursions throughout the retreat so you can get out there and enjoy the local delights of Andalusia. There will also be massage treatments available to those who would like!

Off-grid Living
Off-grid Living
Nestled in the heart of the Andalusian desert, our retreat centre is completely off-grid - and we think that's something worth celebrating.
We run entirely on solar energy, we have our own water supply, and we reduce our footprint wherever possible. There are no mains connections here, no hum of the national grid, no endless supply of resources on tap. What there is, is something rarer: a genuine invitation to slow down, consume less, and reconnect with the natural rhythms of the land.
What this means in practice
The desert is a place of abundance and scarcity in equal measure. The sun gives us everything we need to power our days, but we ask guests to be mindful of how they use that energy, turning off lights when leaving a room, avoiding charging devices overnight, and embracing the quiet that comes when screens are set aside.
Water here is precious. We ask everyone to take shorter showers, turn off taps fully, and treat every drop with the same respect the land itself demands. During drier periods, supplies can run low, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation when they do. Many guests tell us that the off-grid nature of the retreat becomes one of the most meaningful parts of their stay. There is something quietly powerful about living within limits, about noticing how little you actually need, and how much more present you become when the usual conveniences fall away.
This is a place to unplug in every sense of the word. To remember what it feels like to live lightly.
