A private villa on the Costa Blanca — second week
Oodles Yoga & Pilates Retreat takes place at a private villa set in four acres of landscaped gardens, just five minutes from the historic old town of Benissa on Spain's Costa Blanca. The villa and grounds are exclusively yours for the week — a lagoon-style pool, tennis court, home gym, and both an indoor and a covered outdoor yoga shala, all just for our group.
Your days are built around daily yoga and Pilates with Sophia Wilson, meals from private chef Darren Bunn, and three curated excursions into the surrounding Costa Blanca countryside and coastline — sea kayaking, a boat trip, and the hilltop village of Guadalest with the Algar waterfalls. Between sessions, there's the pool, beach volleyball, table tennis, and al fresco dining under the garden pergola.
This 9–15 September 2026 week has 2 double rooms left, open to singles and couples. We also run an identical first week, 2–8 September 2026, at the same villa — see that week here, though it's now fully booked.
