"A wonderful experience"

I felt very welcomed and at home on this retreat, Michael has a way of making everyone feel special with lots of activities and super delicious meals all with an ease that is admirable considering all he does!

Rikard was our yoga instructor and also took us on an 8k walking mediation in the hills, between the both of them and all the people I met I have very happy memories of this special time.

"Absolutely amazing experience "

This retreat totally exceeded my expectations. I loved the yoga classes and all the other activities organized by the host, the food was phenomenal, accommodation super comfortable. However, the greatest part was that I reached peace in my mind and I feel energised for my next steps and decisions.

"A hidden treasure "

The Ashram villa exceeded my expectations. Everything was perfect. The vila is on a hill overlooking the ocean for an amazing view. We had a sunny week but i am told it is always sunny at Ashram.As a result many sessions were held outside in the sunshine looking to the heavens, one evening we were blessed with a full moon. 🌕 This perfect setting was brought together by Mikael the owner and leader of our meditations with Tamara who not only led some of our sessions but did these excellent body massages to who ever needed it at the end of the day. Michael cooked delicious meals with varied creative choices with his assistant Carlos. For those who are vegan the meals meet your needs and those who like a lacto-ovo vegetarian choice you can eat an egg for breakfast from hens that produce your eggs daily on the premises. There is also cheese, milk and yogurt supplied. I have to include lindaloma our mascot Mikaels adorable dog who takes part in most sessions. 💕😊❤️

"Gorgeous retreat - great for mind, soul & stomach "

Mikael & LindaL were so welcome into their villa and immediately you felt relaxed and excited knowing you will be there for the week.

Both Mikael & Tamara are so gorgeous and their sessions were amazing. There was a different program everyday with the perfect balance of free time to go to the beach, hike up to view point or just chillin’ by the pool.

The food Mikael prepared was sensational! I hope I can replicate them at home.

"Para encontrarte a ti mism@ en paz y armonía"

Me gustó todo. El recibimiento de Mikael, su respeto y amabilidad. Me instalo en una habitación de princesa :) y así me hizo sentir. Su comida deliciosa, las conversaciones. Su práctica con música e instrumentos fantástica. El grupo se unió inmediatamente y todo fluyo en paz y armonía. La excursión a la hermita muy bonita y el baño en la playa fantástico. Mi visita fue muy breve y no tuve ocasión de bañarme en la piscina. Creo que tendré que volver. Gracias Mikael y Tamara♡

"Great yoga retreat "

The location is beautiful. Located on a hill, overlooking the sea with a large terrace and a swimming pool.

You can take a walk to nice local beaches, and a local bus takes you back up the hill.

Michael is the most caring host, fantastic yoga teacher and a gourmet chef.

This is not a yoga retreat where you do 4 hours of yoga a day. There is a lovely class on the terrace in the morning followed by gourmet breakfast and then we had a sharing session, which provoked deeper discussions afterwards. Then, you have free time to go to the beach, or just relax by the pool.

Dinner is another gourmet adventure with local wine and meaningful conversation.

This was a great yoga retreat topped with a visit to Barcelona, 40 minutes by train and bit over $5 ticket one way.

I really enjoyed this yoga vacation, from the nicely decorated, lovely house, to the delicious food and great kundalini yoga.

We also had gong baths and yoga dance session.

Hope to keep coming back here for more! I feel relaxed and recharged which is exactly what I was looking for.

"Beyond the expected "

As a group of 8, we knew we’d make whatever presented itself work well. However, as individuals, smaller groups and as a whole we were all delighted with it all - location, venue, food, yoga, instructors etc as you’d expect but it was the small touches - the food demonstrations, the gentle guidance, suggestions, recommendations & acceptance of us all which made our retreat at Ashram Villa Sunrise so special. Thank you.

"So enjoyable, left me feeling, relaxed, uplifted and happy. "

Mikael picked me up from the airport, so grateful as it was my first visit. Fabulous yoga exercises and breathing techniques. Thoughtful sharing sessions we're insightful and helpful. Included on the 2nd night was a cookery lesson on how to make paella, which was delicious as was all the meals and breakfast. I also had a treatment with Tamara which was relaxing, relieving tension spots, I felt totally energized afterwards. Thank you to Mikael and Tamara for a great yoga retreat experience I will love to repeat.

"Recommendation "

It is a wonderful place! I spend only two days and I learned a lot of useful things for the daily life. Mike is an amazing person, and you can learn a lot from him. If you can spend some time at this place, I am sure it will help you to feel better. The scenery, the freedom and the connexion will full up your days. I will definitely go back.

"Most amazing experience "

I must say with hand on heart ,it was a fabulous peaceful and uplifting experience. It was my first time at a yoga retreat. I was very privileged to have my daughter with me and she absolutely loved it. Michael is a very charismatic, joyful and funny man. He made our experience all the more joyful. I would highly recommend this retreat to distress and connect with yourself. ❤️❤️🙏🏽

"Feel the Love"

I felt very well cared for at Ashram Villa Sunshine because Mikael takes pride in everything he does. The vegan dinner is well prepared and served elegantly in the dining room, the yoga classes are set up in the sunshine near the pool and are for all levels, everything is explained to you in advance - no surprises, the property is well decorated to support a relaxed atmosphere, and you feel the love. Several attendees had cranial sacral treatments with Rikard which were healing with a gentle touch, highly recommended. I would be remiss not to mention the mascot, Linda Lola, a very cute, loving, small miniature pincher type dog that will just delight you.

It was a great couple of days to really relax, unwind and practise yoga with like minded people. Mikael is just a great host and teacher and really take care of his guests. The food was amazing and with a nice variety of vegan options, I would definitely come back for more!

"Geweldig retreat, ik kom zeker terug"

Wat een super locatie in Sitges en geweldige host, die heerlijk kookt en niets is hem teveel. Ik ben extra dag langer gebleven, het voelde zo goed. De yoga is heel fijn, met klanken . Echt aanrader.

"Great place, vibrant location, lovely people "

Quick responsive and customer service.

Location is accesible via public transport (Sitges) and not far from the station. They offer pick ups which could be very helpful if not familiar with the area and arriving with luggage.

They speak local and other languages (English) which is very convenient when sharing the experience with other participants that are not local.

Clean and lovely decor which makes the stay quite pleasant.

The sessions are varied and well organised, there is a great balance between the activities inside and outside as well as the instructors.

"Spiritual yoga to heal soul & body"

The ambience of the villa was calm and welcoming. The yoga incorporated meditation, breath control and observances as well as the postures so 4 of the 8 limbs of yoga. If you’re a gym bunny this is a taste of true yoga.

"Great time for connection with yourself"

The location was just perfect, our room has the best view and it was like a dream to wake up every morning. The food was really tasty and well served. Mikael and Tamara were great at teaching us techniques and creating engagement with the group, it was a really restorative and calm yoga, but great to learn new ways to connect with yourself. The overall experience was amazing and I could for sure repeat it again.

"The perfect little retreat."

I loved how welcoming Mikael is. His house is really cozy and there is something there for everyone. He makes you feel right at home, and the pool area on a sunny day is a wonderful spot to relax end enjoy the stunning view down to the coast. Mikael is very knowledgeble, and he adds a nice touch of humor to his teachings, which is really refreshing.. Also I recommend a massage from Tamara, she put me back into balance with her healing touch.!

"Great balance between spiritual and earthly holiday spaces."

I was looking for a place where I could care about myself but not away from feeling that I am on holiday and close to city facilities, and to have enough space for myself, to rest or do whatever I feel like. Combined with sharing with others.

I liked the people and the food so much, also the place is great.

"Sunshine heaven"

This was by far the best yoga retreat I have been on. Everything from the location to the food was absolutely stunning. The food was vibrant and delicious (which really should belong in a restaurant). The yoga/meditation was different to what I am normally used to, but I am so happy to have experienced it as it was so healing and enriching. I am so grateful for everything I have learnt and have taken away from this retreat. I hope to return next year. Thank you so much! Claudia :)

"Already looking forward to going back"

The surprise of the vegan food was amazing (thought it was vegetarian). Mikael was a wonderful host, cook and yoga instructor. It was one of the most empowering en refilling moments of my life. Very thankfull.

"Deeply Restorative and Relaxing"

I really cannot put into words how much I enjoyed my time here. Mikael effortlessly and intuitively weaves different styles of yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and healing foods together to cultivate the perfect retreat. He intentionally keeps the groups small to foster a more intimate experience enabling you to connect more deeply other participants. There is also a nice amount of free time for exploration or further contemplation. The villa is incredible. It has a calming and comfortable energy, and is located a short walk from town and the beach, perched on the hillside of sunny Sitges with exceptional views from it's large terrace. I highly recommend this retreat if you are looking for a transformative experience with the perfect mix of relaxation, fun, and incredibly delicious food.

"An excellent mix of holiday and retreat!"

Mikael was the best part of this retreat. He opens both his villa and his heart to you and provides a safe place for you to explore. I don't know much about yoga, but this type of yoga was not like any other I have experienced and I found it really easy to join in with and very healing.

We spent each morning together in the group and most of the day was our own. Sitges is a really lovely seaside town to explore, but also the villa has many places to be on your own or enjoy the company of others.

If you are unsteady on steep walks, then make sure you take good walking shoes and stick for the mindful hike, as it is well worth the effort.

"Peace personified"

Mikael is warm and friendly on meeting for the first time and continues throughout the duration. Felt very comfortable the whole time which is tantamount to me. Enjoyed being involved in the cooking and found the yoga and meditation and mindful walk very beneficial to me

Marta Aviles Hernandez

Me encantó la casa, la habitación y todas las estancias. Están muy cuidadas y son espacios especiales donde estar en tranquilidad, leer un buen libro o conversar con otros huéspedes.

Mikael es un anfitrión muy generoso y agradable.

"Superb retreat "

I loved everything about the retreat. I loved the embodiment of mindfulness presence from Mikael himself throughout the retreat. He provided a very down to earth example of how to live the yogic philosophy, which simply states there was so much real-ness in his interactions and how the retreat flowed. Theresa was a wonderful example too, although she was there only the first and second to last day she, they provided such an inviting atmosphere. It was a home away from home. The house itself was amazing with the graceful decor that allowed for comfort and ease while providing a serene environment. The location and the views were spectacular. Any time of day provided awe, inspiring views. The food was excellent, excellent, excellent! Vegan, vegetarian food tasted so delightful! It was delicious, healthy, fresh, varied, state of the art... literally art!

"Exceptional hosting from Mikael"

This is a meditation retreat, the yoga practised is more breathing than postures. This was very different for me but enjoyable and I found myself chanting along even though I had expected to not participate. Mikaels interaction for the week is all about healing your mind and body. His food is truly delicious by far the best vegan food I have ever eaten. The Villa is much nicer than it seems on the website. Some room have private bathroom, I shared with two other singles. The villa is sited on a hill so mobility could be an issue if you do not like/ are not able to cope with steep hills. There is a taxi service though.

The pool area is ample and there is a good combination of sun and shade. We ate lunch outside every day under the shade which was lovely for the month of October.

The mindfulness walk is over some step rugged terrain, worth it for the beautiful views and it does flatten out through the trees. An alternative route to avoid the steep climb at the beginning and end would be beneficial to those with mobility issues.

Sitges is a very pretty beachside town with all the shops/ bars and restaurants you would expect.

Overall a great experience and I would certainly go again

"Very Healing Six Days"

A very well thought out program with no stress or dogma. Mikael's approach was warm accessible and very effective. The meals were delicious, greshly prepared and served in a festive manner. We were lucky as there were only three of us women at the retreat due to a cancellation. We were of different ages and nationalities. Mikael encouraged communication which was easy given the beautiful environment.
