Almond Oasis Wellbeing Retreat

When we first visited Almond Oasis,  we were blown away by the stunning vistas and ample open spaces of the 10-hectare site in the Lecrin Valley in Spain. Our client’s vision was for a sanctuary that would foster wellness and personal growth. Together, we have designed a wellbeing retreat where guests can escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with nature.

Finding the balance

Almond Oasis will offer diverse programmes for its visitors: including yoga, mindfulness, and leadership retreats, all curated by international experts. In season, the centre will host activities such as walking holidays and skiing adventures respectively. During quieter periods, the centre will welcome guests for bed and breakfast accommodation while providing facilities for independent retreat leaders.

Catering to up to 40 people, this retreat fosters holistic wellness and personal growth. Through carefully designed spaces that harmonise with the surrounding landscape, guests will find solace, rejuvenation, and inner peace.

Creating a place to grow and thrive

We joined our client at concept stage to do a site appraisal. Working closely with their operations and retreat team, we development a spatial brief for the retreat that was responsive to their programme and aspirations – incorporating the shared wellbeing facilities and the private cabins for accommodation sensitively in the landscape.  We took this forward to design development and planning approval is now pending!

Local, natural, healthy

Emphasis is placed on promoting health and wellbeing through organic, locally sourced meals, and a wide range of classes and events. As a retreat centre rooted in the local community, it is committed to facilitating connections between guests and locals, encouraging the use of facilities by local businesses and community groups, and offering opportunities for participation in retreat offerings, courses, and events.
