Relax & renew during a relaxed week at the beautiful beaches of Andalusia.
Sun 12 – Sun 19 June 2021
Note: In 2021 we have only one Beach Retreat scheduled.
If you want to go don’t wait to long! This retreat is quite popular.
During this retreat we stay at one of the most beautiful spots in Andalusia. The villa where we stay is an luxury restored finca and consists of 3 buildings. During the retreat we have this beautiful place all to ourselves.
The luxury villa has 2 large swimming pools, one of which is up to 12 meters long. From one of the pools you have an amazing view of the sea.
The large villa has plenty of outdoor space with 4 terraces and a large tropical garden. The view is breathtaking.
You have an amazing view over one of the most beautiful villages in Andalusia, Frigiliana and over the surrounding nature park. On the other side you have a pretty view over the beautiful beaches of Nerja.
People come to us for a variety of reasons.
Some people just want to relax and have some time for themselves in a beautiful place.
Other people visit us because they have (or had) a difficult or stressful time or because they had an emotional period.
But this retreat is for everyone who wants to relax and who wants to feel stronger, more energetic and more focused.
It is for anyone who wants to calm their mind in a peaceful place.
Our yoga retreat is suitable for all levels. The yoga sessions are created for beginners and for people who already have experience with yoga and / or meditation and who would like to deepen their practice.
Yoga and meditation experience is certainly not required, the workshops are accessible for everyone. We do adjust the sessions and asanas to everyone’s level.
We offer different styles of yoga during this week. In the morning the lessons are more energetic and in the afternoon there will be a SUP Yoga (yoga on the water) or a Yin or Restorative Yoga Session.
During this week hatha yoga, yin yoga, vinyasa yoga and kundalini yoga will be given
Extra attention will be given to the practice of Yin Yoga during the retreat. During this week we also do various pranayama’s (breathing techniques) and different types of meditations.
We are regularly asked what kind of people join our retreats.
Our visitors are both men and women, of various ages and with very different backgrounds. Most people come alone to our retreat but we also regularly have people who come together (couple, friends or family).
Our experience is that every group has a great connection from the start of the retreat. A retreat is great place to meet like-minded people and we have seen a lot of new friendships. But during the retreat you have ass well all the freedom to be by yourself and enjoy the beautiful spots in the tropical gardens. All activities are also on a voluntary basis. The most important thing is that you can relax and enjoy this special time for yourself.
We choose to work with small groups.
I really loved the accommodation! The buildings of the old cortijo have a lot of atmosphere and give you an intimate feeling. The tropical gardens I liked a lot, because there were nice places everywhere to relax in the shade or in the sun. And the views are really fantastic. The program was well balanced. You have the freedom to relax and do your own things while there was enough time with the group as well. During the yoga sessions I liked it that it was quiet and that there was a lot of repetition so that you can learn the poses properly. Ilse has a nice voice to listen to.
The yoga session on the beach was also superb. I found the food very tasty and nice to see Alejandro cook with so much passion. Tasty fresh vegetables and creative meals. It was great!
What did I enjoy those wonderful retreat days! I feel it in every fiber of my body and heart.
It has brought me so much. The environment, the people, the yoga, the atmosphere, the food … It’s like a dream! I will always cherish the experience. And it is reflected in my daily life back home. The retreat with Ilse-Marie is one of my best decisions ever.
You receive everything what’s promised, but it’s worth so much more! Ilse-Marie is a special and compassionate woman. She has a lot of joy, wisdom and knowledge that she shares with love.
The personal approach makes it really unique. Ilse-Marie feels what everyone needs. She is also part of the group while she still has this natural leadership. She has this gift to create an atmosphere in which totally different people feel at home straight away and connect. We did the amazing yoga, meditation and breathing exercises when possible outdoors in the beautiful tropical gardens, on the beach and in the mountains. The environment is so magical with such a breathtaking views that you experience a constant feeling of happiness. The food is so delicious, full of flavor and pure. I want to return again !!
She was very fluent in all the languages needed to conduct the class and was able to instruct different people according to their abilities in a way that didn’t disrupt the flow of the class. I am rather new at yoga, despite dabbling with it throughout university. Ilse was able to foresee potential problems I may face and gave very clear instructions on how to manage any potential obstacles in my practice. She made yoga so accessible to someone so stiff! It was also very nice that she led us through various asanas that I might not have tried on my own. The class progressed at a comfortable pace and before I knew it, I was attempting a shoulder stand! Many yoga classes in Singapore are rather large and you don’t get feedback on your own alignment. I really appreciate Ilse’s patience and her attention to each student. Thank you Ilse! I wish I could take more yoga lessons with you!
For all those who wish to submerge themselves into yoga and meditation, while being surrounded by mighty mountains, beautiful nature staying in an authentic and idyllic location, this yoga retreat with Ilse from Viva La Vida is an absolute must!
The program is varied but leaves plenty of room for personal interpretation or just to do nothing and relax completely.
Ilse yoga classes are really nice and long with a good combination of flow and relaxing moments.
I’ll definitely come back again!
I really had some wonderful days with Ilse-Marie. What a passionate yoga teacher! She is a wonderful hostess who pampers her guests and knows what they need. She inspired us all with plenty of suggestions for a life without stress. Thanks !!
The days in Alfarnatejo have had a very positive influence on my life. It gave me a calm mind, relaxation and new energy, but this retreat brought me many new insights as well. I am very grateful for what Ilse-Marie and her team have done!
Every aspect of this retreat is just right; the preparation and warm welcome, the great location and beautiful surroundings, amazing yoga and meditation sessions, the delicious food of Alejandro. Very special was the personal and professional approach of Ilse-Marie and the natural way she guides the group and the attention she has for you as an individual.
Everything is full of energy, love and vitality.
As often with special experiences, it is difficult to explain to someone else what makes it so special.
I can only say go experience it for yourself!
For me it was the first time I have experienced such a retreat in this form and capacity. I can only say that I was very pleased. The group was amazing right from the start. Ilse and her husband have this wonderful ability to put you at ease instantly.
From Ilse, you get nothing but positive energy.
The most important thing I’ve learned is what really matters this life: Letting go and being in the now.
Ilse shows this through themed yoga & meditation sessions, beautiful workshops and excursions and a very special silent walk. You become aware of what you do have instead of what you don’t have “Count your blessing.”
I will recommend everyone to experience this amazing retreat.
Ilse will give you amazing new insights in a nice and casual way.
I am very happy that I was able to experience all this as my first experience of retreat. I liked it so much that I have gone twice to their Viva La Vida Retreat.
This retreat is like a very special present for yourself, Everything was really well organized.
The meals are vegetarian / vegan, but if you think it makes it boring, you are wrong! We got served these huge colorful and flavorful meals. Alejandro the chef prepared this everyday with so much love!
We did the Yoga sessions on beautiful spots in the natural surroundings of southern Spain.
Ilse-Marie creates a new themed session every time which offers a lot of variety. You learn a lot of yoga poses in a short time.
Furthermore you will learn many ways to relax.
It is the perfect way to escape from the everyday hustle and bustle! The music used is wonderful and hugely relaxing. You will notice that Ilse-Marie with her warm personality, love, care and personal attention does everything to make sure your week is perfect!
The retreat is very inspiring and makes you feel like you’ve been gone for a month!
As soon as I get the chance, I go again!
Ilse is a very good teacher with a lot of passion and love for yoga. She can also easily adjust exercises for beginners and more experienced yoga practitioners. Each yoga session lasts an hour and a half which is a big plus because there’s plenty of time for relaxation. I have become quite a yoga fan by Ilse and started to do yoga daily.
How amazing to live 5 days in a totally different, beautiful and peaceful environment.
The combination of yoga and meditation in such a beautiful environment was for me a totally new experience.
This feeling of peacefulness and rest was really special.
The combination of Ilse’s professional yoga sessions, the warmth and care of Ilse and her husband Jeroen, the massage of Toni and the special surprise sessions
Ilse professional yoga classes with the proper care during the five days from her and her husband Jeroen, massage and even some surprising sessions made this 5 day Yoga retreat complete and unforgettable.
I will go back for sure!
“Viva La Vida” basically says it all .. .. 5 amazing days on a a great location in a beautiful setting.
The retreat is very diverse and has the perfect balance between yoga, meditation, workshops and relaxation.
This combined with the love, care, passion and personal attention that Ilse, Jeroen and Alejandro give you and you go back home with a big smile and full of positive energy!
What a great experience!
When can I go back?

This retreat is a beautiful gift to yourself
You receive a very warm welcome when you arrive in the beautiful finca in this magical place close to Malaga.
The yoga and meditation sessions are take place in the open air, which gives you a great feeling of space and rest. The beautiful and loving Ilse-Marie connects all participants and elements of the retreat together.
Her passion and love for yoga makes her a very passionate teacher, who has special attention for everyone.
Even in the food, prepared by Alejandro you taste power and energy.
I think back with very warm feelings to these wonderful, loving days. It was truely was amazing.
It was a great gift that vibrates at a soul level.
I said good bye with a grateful heart.
Namasté!
Good luck Ilse-Marie and thanks for everything.
See you next time.
The great location in the Andalusian mountains, the lovely group, super tasty food and nice yoga and meditation classes of Ilse gave me a huge energy boost.
As a beginner, I have learned a lot in one week. Ilse has inspired me! Since I’m back home I start everyday with a few sun salutations and I started regular classes.
Ilse created a very special atmosphere where people felt safe and relaxed. I’m sure I will book next year again.
Thanks!
I am looking back with very sweet memories!
Thanks!
Wonderful relaxing days in a beautiful setting.
Lots of variety of yoga, meditation and other activities, but as well enough time to relax. I gave me a peaceful mind when I was in between 2 jobs. I was completely rested and energized when I returned home.
Ilse does everything with such a passion and fun. This makes it an experience that I can definitely recommend to anyone ( for beginning and advanced yogis). For everyone that wants to enjoy the magical serene surroundings. I had such a relaxed days in this beautiful setting.
Ilse-Marie and Jeroen are amazing, warm and lovely people. But I had as well a real connection with my fellow yoga-goers. Just escape from the rat-race where we all live in, and come to Andalusia to relax completely.
I returned reborn and completely zen to Belgium!
And not to forget, the super chef who makes these delicious & healthy meals!
Thank you lovely people that I could stay with you for these 5 days. It was really SUPER !!
As an entrepreneur I am very busy.
I wanted to unwind and relax and I had great interest in yoga and meditation. And where can you better dive into yoga and meditation than under the Spanish sun?
This beautiful location felt directly as coming home.
A old cortijo has these beautiful charming rooms, amazing gardens, and a lovely pool.
And what a setting; the best views of Andalusia!
The sessions Ilse-Marie were perfect for me. Through the devotion, personal attention and passion of Ilse-Marie I came quickly in the proper flow of yoga and meditation. But as well the delicious food, the beach visit, the relaxing in between sessions (book certainly a massage) make the retreat a must.
Anyone involved in this yoga retreat is doing it with so much with passion, that it makes the retreat really special and personal. Whether you are completely familiar with yoga or a beginner like me, after you returned from the retreat you are totally relaxed and you will love yoga and meditation.
I will definitely participate again!
It started with a nice contact with Ilse via whatapp and email. The warm welcome by Jeroen at the airport.
After that I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful nature, and authentic accommodation, the healthy but very tasty food, the great yoga sessions and the really nice people.
Ilse creates with her integrity and passion an atmosphere that makes people feel at ease straight away and that you want to open your heart.
There was a lot of fun, but tears were welcome as well.
The elements of the program are optional, which gives you a great sense of freedom. Therefore these 5 days really felt like a holiday.
Do not hesitate, just do it!
She has this calmness or peacefulness around her, while on the main time she is so passionate while teaching. She explains things clear and knows a lot to tell about the background of yoga. I often have pain in my back and neck and she has helped me with some practical exercises to reduce the pain. The yoga sessions outside with the sounds of nature were an unforgettable experience. I’m following yoga classes for several years, but learned a lot of valuable new things. I really like the way Ilse-Marie teaches yoga and I will definitely come back.
Dear Ilse,
What a great time did we have!
With you,Alejandro and our nice fellow retreaters.
Toni’s massage was for me a very special experience. She knew to find my sensitive spots.
in April we have had some cold nights with thick blankets. But I enjoyed the old farm with the nice wood fire, the gardens with the beautiful views, the yoga sessions, healthy food and the commitment of everyone.
There was literally and figuratively space to go, let go or keep something for yourself.
Thanks!
From the first moment I had a great feeling about the email contact with Ilse. She and her husband Jeroen are really warm and enthusiastic people.
The location in Alfanatejo is idyllic, what a view! Just being in this place makes your mind quiet straight away.
The yoga sessions are a wonderful combination of Yin, Hatha Vinyassa, Kundalini and Ashtanga yoga. We had our yoga sessions not only in the beautiful gardens, but also on the beach and even on top of a mountain.
If you like vegetarian food, you’re in the right place. Alejandro, the chef has a tremendous passion for the vegetarian cuisine.
Furthermore we had a couple of really special workshops from guest teachers.
I can really recommend this retreat!
I would love to go back!
An idyllic location, the program has a good balance between group sessions and time for yourself.
Ilse has this ability to sense what the group needs and is able to create a fun and very relaxed atmosphere.
Ilse inspires absolutely!
Yoga sessions are also suitable for beginning yogis.
The environment is really beautiful, serene and peaceful.
Doing yoga on top of the mountain and overlooking the villages is really relaxing and soothing.
The most fun experience I found the yoga session on the beach. The sense of freedom that you experience on this beautiful beach is really special.
As well the tasty food and our relaxed outdoor eating sessions make a Viva La Vida yoga retreat a truly unique and beautiful experience. I would definately book again!
The olive oil farm is a very nice Retreat location; intimate and yet plenty of room to chill and go your own way.
The peace and serenity in and around the location was beautiful . And with a car you can easily go to a lot of interesting places nearby.
The program is nicely balanced with room for your own initiative.Ilse knows very well what the needs of the group are and leaves room to whether or not to participate in an activity.
At first I was a bit worried that the yoga sessions would be too much (I was still very stiff haha) but after every session I felt so great. The yoga sessions were not too difficult, even though I did not do yoga for a long time. The Meditations were great!
I need to like the voice of someone in order to be able to relax completely and to be able to meditate. I really liked the soothing voice of Ilse-Marie.
The silent walk was very nice (It felt a bit like coming home) and the yoga session in the mountains was also very special to me.
And not to forget the Yoga excursion to the beach: this was great! What a beautiful place; it gave me an immense feeling of freedom, vacation and relaxation.
Also the food was GREAT! I have some things home made again. Congratulations to Alejandro
Thanks!
I will always remember this perfect combination of fun, activity, connectedness and health. I felt immediately at ease when I got to know the others during the first delicious lunch.
During the retreat anyone could go heror his own way and at the same time there was also plenty to do.
Ilse-Marie arranges everything to the last detail.
The beautiful surrounding area is worth a visit in itself.
I can highly recommend this retreat to everyone!
For me it was the first experience with yoga, meditation, Andalusia and Ilse. Just to say it in one word: amazing!
It is difficult to describe in words what happened there, not only with me but with everyone.
Ilse knows how to give her guests the warmest welcome. She has this beautiful location. The wonderful chef Alejandro who makes delicious healthy meals. His love and passion for cooking is obvious and you really taste this!.
The program is very diverse and very fascinating. If you combine this with the enthusiasm and humor of Ilse and even the most sceptic beginning yogi starts to develop a passion for yoga. After 5 days I was hooked:)
The different styles of yoga and meditation techniques that you learn make the program very special and creates something for everyone. Whether you are doing yoga for years or an absolute beginner like me.
There is such a loving and relaxed atmosphere, that you just really want to come back and book another retreat with Ilse.
During our retreat the focus is on increasing your energy, improving your concentration, increasing your flexibility and building your strength. You can completely relax and renew in a beautiful environment.
We will learn you some practical exercises and techniques that you can easily integrate into your daily life when you go back home.
Be inspired by our yoga & meditation sessions, including Beach Yoga sessions, Yin Yoga and SUP yoga!
You can as well participate in a special cooking workshop by our passionate chef Alejandro.
You will also notice that when you pull out from your hectic life, you can create space for new insights and personal growth.
Take time for yourself to reflect on what is really important to you in your life.
We start the day with a nice yoga session on the beach or in the tropical garden. We often finish the day with a relaxing yoga session.
Chef Alejandro
Our chef Alejandro is very passionate about healthy food. He mainly cooks vegan and vegetarian. He likes to share some of his kitchen secrets during his cooking workshop. Discover how you can cook incredibly tasty and healthy with a few simple tricks!
When you wake-up in the morning, you walk outside en watch the amazing sunrise above the Sea. You enjoy a fresh and Healthy Detox Shake and some tropical fruit. You bring your yoga mat and get ready for a dynamic morning flow at the terras. After the session our Chef will welcome you with an delicious and healthy lunch.
After lunchtime it is time to relax. You jump in the beautiful and refreshing pool for a swim. After your dip you relax on one of the sun beds next to the pool and you can finally start in this book that you really wanted to read.
In the afternoon we leave for the beach to do a breathtaking Sup Yoga tour. We visit a cascade, little hidden beaches and coves.
On the way we will stop to do peaceful and calming SUP Yoga session.
Satisfied and relaxed you return to the pretty villa. Our chef arranged a really nice dinner under the stars. We enjoy the sunset, the food and the views together and finish the day happy and relaxed.
We offer you this week the opportunity to follow a SUP Board workshop.
Note: if you already have experience with SUP boarding, you can increase SUP knowledge, or skip the workshop and stay on the beach.
We are also going to make one or two beautiful trips this week. The SUP boards are very large, wide and thick so they are very stable and you can do exercises on them.
The villa is located in the mountains near the beach. You are at walking distance from the beautiful village of Frigiliana. This village is so beautiful that it has been declared several times the most beautiful village in southern Spain!
Frigiliana is located 7km from the coastal town of Nerja. The village is built on a hill and from the highest point you have a fantastic view of the white houses, the mountains of Almijara and in the distance on the Mediterranean sea.
Frigiliana is one of the best preserved Moorish towns in Andalusia.
All houses in the village are whitewashed and every year the approximately 2200 inhabitants of Frigiliana are obliged to paint their house white again.
It is a beautiful contrast with the red roofs and the beautiful colors in which the doors are painted. On the ground and on the facades you will find hundreds of flower pots. And you can smell the fragrant of lavender and jasmine everywhere.
The village has a small old center with narrow, steep, cobbled streets.
Down in the village is the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, on this village square is a nice market on Thursdays. You will find the most delicious craft products, self braided bags, nuts, bowls and much more.
Well worth a visit.
Nerja is also a beautiful village and worth a visit.
The beautiful Balcon de Europa is 23 meters above the sea and from here you have a fantastic view over the sea, the mountains and beaches of Nerja.
From the beautiful villa you have a view over the beaches of Nerja.
Nerja offers some of the best beaches on the Costa del Sol. Like the nice beach Playa Burriana with its boulevard with shops, tapas bars and restaurants. The small coves of Playa Carabeo, Playa Calahonda and Playa El Salon are located close to the Balcon de Europa.
The Playa El Playazo lies to the west of Nerja and has a long stretch of quiet beach with some simple chiringuitos; simple eateries right on the beach.
The variety of beaches in this area is surprising: sandy beaches, sheltered rocky beaches, ... Often with fantastic views. With crystal clear green-blue water for swimming or snorkeling, a pleasant mixture between sand and pebbles, ...
Our favorite beach is the beautiful playa Maro. This beautiful beach has been chosen a couple times as the most beautiful beach of the province and has bright blue water. Just past Maro there are also a few beautiful quiet beaches.

Greetings from the beautiful Andalusia,
Ilse-Marie
Who created Viva La Vida? We are a Dutch family who decided a couple of years ago to go on an adventure in the beautiful Andalusia. We first planned to go for a year, but we enjoyed it so much that we decided to stay here for a longer period.
We, Jeroen and Ilse-Marie, and our two daughters Elise-Sophie and Ana Rosa, have found a pretty old cortijo in an incredibly beautiful area.
We are very enthusiastic about the area and like to share it with other people. We organize yoga retreats and yoga & walking holidays all year round at the most beautiful places in Andalusia. We really enjoy to create a special program for you. We try to give our retreats something extra. We bring you to beautiful places and organise do special activities, hikes and workshops.
Furthermore we will learn you some useful tools to relax and to re-energize to take home with you.
Hello, I am Ilse-Marie and I will accompany you this week at the beautiful location in Frigiliana.
I have a great passion for yoga, meditation, mindfulness and healthy nutrition. Yoga & meditation have influenced my life very positively. I live a lot more in the present moment, I can handle stress better and I enjoy the smaal things in life a lot more. I have also realized what is important to me and how I can make a positive contribution in my own way. I have followed various teacher training courses, including a master's degree as a yoga teacher in India and I teach yoga, meditation and coaching courses in three languages to beginners, advanced students, seniors and children. Teaching gives me a lot of energy and I think it's great to see what positive effect it has on the people who work with it.
I developed my own style which is a mix of Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga, (Vinyasa) Flow, Restorative and Kundalini Yoga. My classes are a combination of meditation and relaxation exercises, breathing techniques, sun salutations, vinyassa flow variations and asanas.
Hey! I am Jeroen Ruijters. I am a sports person by nature, sport has always been a passion for me. During this retreat I would like to let you experience how beautiful and pure nature is in this area and I will take you on a special walk. Furthermore, during this retreat I am in the background to ensure that you have a fantastic week.
Our Spanish chef Alejendro has been a regular team member for the last few years during our Viva La Vida Retreats. He always surprises our visitors with his great cooking skills. The products he uses are organic and come as much as possible from local farmers.
Alejandro specializes in healthy cuisine and prefers to cook vegetarian or vegan. He finds it a great challenge to show people how to cook tastefully and super healthy without adding meat, fish or dairy products. In the meantime he has managed to win fervent meat eaters for his cooking skills. He can also explain to you well which products get your energy and which products help you to relax.
