Alaya Retreat Centre at Cal Pau Cruset

L’endroit les cours le tout était génial

El taller de sanación fue increíble! Excelente experiencia sin duda lo repito y lo recomiendo. Gracias a todos por la amabilidad

El ambiente es muy tranquilo y las personas muy acogedoras.

Charming and serene masia, surrounded by a beautiful garden, the perfect place to reconnect with nature and our inner-self and to enjoy its peaceful atmosphere.

The food was delicious, tasty and healthy.

Lucas and Daniela offered 2 different styles of yoga and both of them were kind and greatly dedicated. The 7 chakra theme is a great way to focus and reflect on different energy centres. I really enjoyed the Reiki session with Daniela.

You also have time to relax, read, journaling or go for a walk in between each yoga class or workshop.

The cuddly cats also make this place so cosy and homely.

Alaya Retreat está ubicado en un lugar privilegiado rodeado de naturaleza y viñedos aloja a animales increíbles capaces de restaurar tu sistema nervioso solo con mirarte las habitaciones son cómodas y con privacidad los instructores Lukas y Daniela te llevan a la india con su sabiduría la anfitriona Hellen es un puro corazón con patas 🐾 ❤️ Marion prepara los mejores platos que he probado en la vida con detalle y amor y con productos de la huerta🌱 Ha sido una experiencia maravillosa que repetiré en Junio para celebrar el día internacional del Yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️

Ein wunderschönes Idyll in der Angelegenheit des Umlands von Barcelona. Hier wird die Grundidee von Yoga umfänglich und in Verbundenheit mit der Natur authentisch vermittelt. Als Yoga-Neuling habe ich mich kompetent betreut und sehr gut angeleitet gefühlt. Yoga wird sicherlich ein neuer Teil meines Lebens werden. Das überaus freundliche Team schuf eine warme, herzliche Atmosphäre. Ich kam hierher, um wieder mehr in Balance zu kommen und Kraft zu schöpfen. Und das hat wunderbar funktioniert. Das Essen war liebevoll und sowohl schmackhaft, als auch gesundheitsfördernd zubereitet. Auf Bedürfnisse, wie Allergien, wurde toll eingegangen. Wer eine naturnahe, authentische Auszeit in Spanien sucht und kein überteuertes 5-Sterne-Schicki-Micki- Retreat erwartet, ist hier sicher richtig. Ich empfehle es gerne weiter und komme selbst auch bestimmt mal wieder. Vor allem, dass man zu jedem Wochentag frei einsteigen kann, ist sehr unkompliziert.

Die Yogalehrerin Daniela war super! Hat sehr schön angeleitet und auch tolle Workshops gemacht. Das Essen war auch sehr gut.

Das Gut liegt sehr schön eingebettet in den Weinbergen. Alle dort anwesenden Personen waren sehr nett. Es gibt auch Tiere, die sehr zutraulich sind.

EL sitio es muy bonito aunque haci mucho frio.. puede ser que sea mejor ir en verano

Nice NYE community. They put lots effort in the activities, food and bringing people together that day :)!

Beautiful property and surroundings- just a bit hard to reach

The yoga teachers were really kind.

De stad was geweldig en Vanessa heeft hele fijne lessen gegeven die pasten bij wat ik nodig had. Ik kwam daar met behoorlijk wat verdriet en ging weg met energie en een sprankel.

Very thought through, lovely accommodation and of course the people, loved the surrounding, which was great to calm form and rewind. The days were nicely structured leaving time to take a walk or read a boom in between the sessions. The offered program and activities were truly recharging. The food was healthy and nourishing, my gut loved it:)

Das beste an den Retreat waren die Yoga Einheiten mit Janina. Janina ist eine tolle Frau aus Argentinien und hat wirklich viel Zeit mühe und liebe in die gemeinsamen Yoga-Einheiten gesteckt.

Aber neben der Zeit mit Janina war das beste an dem Retreat wieder nachhause fahren zu dürfen!

Im Sommer ist die Anlage wahrscheinlich ein sehr schöner Ort um etwas Zeit dort zu verbringen.

The staff were very friendly and helpful

It was a great week to reset. There were three yoga activities per day plus extra activities of your choice. I tried reiki healing, osteopathic session and a walk to the waterfalls. All of them were great! The retreat schedule offers flexibility between social and me-time.

Food menu is delicious and nicely balanced. Definitely enough protein despite it being fully veggie. And I loved the tranquil location and the animals!

Profesionalidad y amabilidad de las instructoras.

Beautiful surroundings, delicious food, and welcoming retreat team at Alaya. Thank you!

Most positive about the retreat are the combination of different yoga classes with workshops and excercises about the chakras. The experience of the pools (hike to the waterfall) was very lovely as well. Meeting and connecting with people from many different places made the retreat also very special.

La prof de yoga Daniela.

J'ai bien aimé les cours de Daniela.

J'ai aussi fait une séance de Reiki avec elle.

Merci Daniela pour tout.

The place itself, very charming

The chakra themes and workshops each day

Our yoga teacher Daniela and her kindness

Sehr angenehm, frei ungezwungen. Perfekt um runterzukommen und zu connecten.

De kwaliteit van de yogalessen was hoog. De instructeur, Julia , deed het professioneel. Ze staat niet in het rijtje waaruit ene instructeur geselecteerd kan worden.

Het eten was buitengewoon goed.

Great people, location, food, accommodation, yoga :)

The location and the people who looked after the guests. It was exactly what I needed and exceeded my expectations.

Lovely setting. Roof top yoga very relaxing, lovely views of countryside .

Waterfall walk was lovely

Zeer ongedwongen sfeer met voldoende tijd te relaxen. Mooie plek om yoga te beoefenen.

Tput etait parfait, tout le monde aux petits souins

Conversations très inspirantes avec les hotes et les deux professeurs : Paula et Gosia

Beautiful scenery and lovely garden. Peaceful location with lots of pets

Le cadre est la richesse des personnes présentes ont été une vraie valeur ajoutée à la pratique du yoga.

This retreat is intentionally organized and has a small and private feeling to it. You get to know the teachers and other guests and have plenty of time to chill around the pool, the beautiful kitchen or the serene garden. The horse meditation was insightful, big thanks to Ellen for so calmly and kindly leading it. Thanks to Joyce for the refreshing Yoga sessions.

La calidez del personal--el lugar tan tranquilo

Los instructores y gente que trabaja en el retiro,amables,simpáticos y muy humanos

The place, food and some activity

Healthy food, good wine, relaxed tienda atmosphere with horses, dogs, cats and chickens.

The grounds have many different areas to sit and enjoy yourself alone or with companions. The yoga studio is gorgeous and full of light, with a view over the vineyards.

The yoga instructors were patient and friendly. I also enjoyed all the free time between the morning and evening classes. The nights were so peaceful; I slept very well in spite of being in a room with 2 strangers because quiet time is really quiet.

And all this just an hour’s drive from Barcelona.

Een bijzonder genereus team.!

Zeer lekker veggie eten( dus GEEN gefrituurd veggie stuf!, maar lekkere verse groenten en fruitbereidingen)

Veeeeel geleerd en inzichten verworven.

Dankzij ( Yoga) Alex en Mira en zeker en vast dankzij Ellen ( o.a Reiki) die trouwens als gastvrouw de krachtige genereuze motor is van deze bijzondere retreat , op deze schitterende locatie

Dankbaar

Namaste

Un experiencia inolvidable. Desde el personal a los otros huéspedes, un 10.

I visited Alaya Retreat as a solo traveler and this was my first retreat. The location is wonderful - peaceful but still overall easy to reach from Barcelona. I got the studio apartment which was big and with a very comfy bed. The outside areas are beautiful, including the pool. As someone who loves animals, I was so happy to be surrounded by dogs, cats, chickens, horses,etc. Especially Shiva, the older dog, whom I sometimes found resting outside my apartment, was my favorite one and I miss her a lot already. The vegetarian food is so tasty and chef Martin really treated us. Also, the local cava was a lovely addition. The whole staff made me feel very welcome and was very attentive. Alex and Mirjana are absolutely fantastic yoga teachers and it was great for me to learn Kundalini, a yoga style I wasn't familiar with but which I will definitely try to practice more from now on. The hike to the waterfall and meditation with horses were also very nice activities. I loved in general the slow tempo, the authenticity of the retreat and the people I met there. Although traveling alone, I never felt lonely and the conversations with both Alex and the rest of the group were very interesting. I would definitely recommend this retreat to both solo and non solo travelers :)

I liked kundalini practices. The facility has a lot to offer, is well taken care of and peaceful. Hike to the well was very bonding. Pool is always refreshing temperature. Hotel experience with clean towels.

Lovely chalet and garden and a swimming pool and a terrace overlooking the vineyards. Very positive people and the vibe.

Las comidas con el vino.

La yoga excelente instructores.

El lugar muy tranquilo

Silence. Sourire et l’accueil d’Alex. Le yoga avec Alex. La nourriture

I liked the warmth and attention received from Mirjana. She's very lovely. The food iz amazing, and the whole place overall! I can't wait to come back.

Alaya Retreat Center is an amazing place to be at.

The location is very beautiful, surrounded by fields etc. The retreat Center is historically very beautiful and has a peacefull design.

The yoga classes of Alex and Ayleen were amazing. The meditation with horses was a very unique experience and is highly recommended if you love animals. Ellen was the perfect guide for it.

The pool(place) was very quite and peacefull.

And of course, one of the best experiences, was the vegetarion food prepared of the chef. Best vegetarian food I ate so far.

Overall my experience at Alaya retreat center was amazing, inspiring and relaxing. Everything was well planned by Alex, Ayleen and Ellen.

I highly recommend this place & of course : I'll defenitely come back one day 😊.

Karen

They did such an effort in making it nice. The food was super delicious and they even provided a glass of local wine. It was enjoyable to be with so many animals. The horse meditation is recommended. Great place to come solo as well. I would come back again! Thank you Ellen & Alex ❤️🧘‍♀️🙏

La calidad de las clases de Alex, la fabulosa comida, el lugar inmejorable y la súper sesión de meditación con caballos de Ellen.

Le lieu, et l'accueil que nous avons eu, très chaleureux. C'est un vrai havre de paix !
