Secret Garden Retreats

What an amazing experience. I don't think I have ever felt more relaxed than during my 6 day yoga and meditation retreat in April.
The place is beautiful, back to nature but with every comfort, inspiring and professionally taught by 2 wonderfully warm people.
The food was very good and healthy and I went on beautiful walks, so bring also your walking boots if you like hiking in the mountains.
I had quite a long experience of meditation but Rose helped me to go deeper and I learnt a lot from her. And Ian inspired me with his mindful yoga practice, which I now do at home.
I highly recommend the place and will definitely return.

Secret Garden Retreat is a magical place with such a beautifull great spirit that at the same time is so humble unique loving! If you want to connect with yourself, let go, learn about meditation, give you a break and be in nature you need to go and visit this blessed spot on earth and it’s people. The cosy rooms, the delicious food made out of all the fresh fruit and vegetable from the permaculture garden, being out of time but guided through the day from the two most amazing hosts I’ve ever met, the swimming pool and breathtaking views at daytime and a sky full of stars at night will make your stay for sure an unforgettable one!!

I was in a retreat last January and it was once again just amazing!! The beautiful nature, the care and True Love that I could breathe all around (even in cold January, which was not cold at all!) was only matched by the incredible loving presence, guide and support from Rose and Ian. From this retreat I got so much to take with me, implement in my life, share with others and expand!! A heartfelt sincere huge Thank You!!

The Secret Gardens Retreat leaves one with a fresh perspective across your inner world, diet, sleep and outlook towards others. Set in a relaxing environment made all the more tranquil with the personable approach and eye for detail from both Rose and Ian. This was a great first step(s) into exploring the more spiritual side of life and I am grateful I took them here. Thank you both.

Together with my boyfriend, I spent 6 days in Rose's and Ian's magical place nestled in a valley, surrounded by pure nature and quietness - the perfect spot to diconnect from our busy, modern and fast-paced society and reconnect with nature and our inner self. This place is truly a little paradise and full of wonders! To me the retreat was absolutely life-changing in a very positive sense! The retreat was very intense and went very deep, but Rose and Ian were always guiding us and supported wherever they could. They made sure that we felt always save, could thrive and fully focus on our process/transformation during the retreat. We learned a lot, not only about ourselves but also about life in general. The accommodation and food was awesome! Rose prepared everyday fresh meals from home-grown fruits and veggies (their garden is just stunning!), home-made teas prepared with fresh spring water and there was always fresh fruit and home-grown nuts available. This healthy nutrition greatly supported the inner processes during the retreat and taught us once again how important a healthy and balanced nutrition is. In the mornings, we had really nice yoga sessions with Ian, to kick off the day freshly and awake and support our body with physical excercise but also to receive deep and thoughtful teachings. I'm very grateful for my experiences in the Secret Garden and I know that for sure I'll come back! I can absolutely recommend this place and greatly support Rose's and Ian's work! Thank you so much!

I can only give it 10 out of 10 but would give more if possible! I did this retreat in April and it was a blessing! Ian and Rose are very welcoming. They will guide you from the beginning till the end of your retreat! Even after the retreat they offer a support! I’m really thankful for this beautiful retreat as it really changes you!
Thank you Ian and Rose🙏

The Secret Garden Retreats is a hidden Gem. Rose & Ian's hospitality was warm and welcoming from the first correspondence to even post-retreat. The accommodations cozy, the fresh homemade food prepared with the fresh vegetables & fruit from their garden made with love by Rose, the gentle yoga led by Ian, and meditation & tools shared by Rose were all what my body & soul needed. Every little detail from their landscape to the daily quotes made my stay memorable. Thank you Rose & Ian for your kind hospitality.

A really great place to load your battery, learn more about yoga and meditation and enjoy the silence.

You step out of the rat race and Rose and Ian lovingly provide a nice and quiet program, good food and great conversations.

I’m back from a 6 days yoga and meditation retreat at the Secret Garden and I’m delighted by this experience (first retreat and beginner level in these 2 disciplines).

Ian and Rose are beautiful and benevolent persons. The morning is dedicated to yoga and meditation with Ian, the afternoon to meditation and discussions-sharings with Rose.
With them, you rediscover the meaning of the word "gratitude", you take care of your body, heart and mind. You feel good, reconnected to your true self.

The place is beautiful (very quiet, surrounded by the mountains of Andalucia), the accommodation very clean and comfortable. There is also a pool and massages available, nice walks all around (Juzcar, the blue village is about thirty minutes walk). The food cooked by Rose is excellent ! I came back full of energy with a positive state of mind.

It is difficult to summarize in a few words this stay, it is an experience to live. Thank you again for everything Rose and Ian, I hope to see you soon :)

The time at Rosé & Ians retreat was outstanding 🤩 I stayed in a shared room, it was nice and clean & sooo cosy.
The food was fresh from the garden and always delicious. This whole place is just wonderfull and the program very professional and invaluable 😍 highly recommend!

I booked a retreat with Rose and Ian in January 2023. They were very accommodating and kind from the first moment of contact and continue to support even after the retreat. The room was spacious, clean and very cosy and welcoming. We started off we an amazing meal cooked by Rose, all vegan and handpicked from their own garden. It was absolutely delicious and satisfying. We had morning wake up yoga sessions with Ian and afternoon meditations with Rose. During the meditations we got music and guidance from Rose that was spot on. Eventhough everybody's experience is personal, we were all guided to connect with ourselves and find answers inside. I had a very deep and profound experience during this retreat. Rose helped me to go on, and go deeper than I would have done in a meditation at home by myself. After the meditations we shared our experience of our inner journey and Rose shared her wisdom and provided practical tools for every day life. It was a lifechanging experience for me without exaggeration. I would warmheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone, in fact I do whenever it comes up in conversations.

Secret Garden Retreat is the perfect place to slow down, go inward and take care of your body and mind. The location is breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful, Rose and Ian are caring, compassionate hosts. The four days I spent there were really life changing and I felt totally safe and held in this space. I am so happy I found this place and cannot recommend it highly enough!

My yoga and meditation retreat at Secret Garden Retreats was a wonderful experience. Rose and Ian are great hosts, who make you feel at home immediately. Rose's knowledge regarding meditation is impressive and she cooks delicious vegan meals. Ian's yoga sessions are a great start of the day and his body massage is a must-do during your stay.

I've just finished a retreat at Secret Gardens and I can only say it was absolutely fantastic. Everything is done with care, the food, the teachings, accomodation...everything! I highly recommend this place and for sure will return

My experience at the Secret Garden Retreat was very beautiful and life changing. Ian and Rose are amazing and dedicated people who helped me to get closer en more connected to myself. I learned so many things from Ian and Rose that I can take with me for the rest of my life and I am really grateful for this. The Secret Garden is a super beautiful and safe place. I could not get enough of the views and Rose her culinary arts. Thank you Ian and Rose for this gift 🙏✨

My experience at the Secret Garden Retreat has been in many ways life changing. Rarely have I met such passionate, intentional and dedicated people such as Ian and Rose. This is a safe, private and loving place where you can connect to yourself and other like minded souls. The experience that Ian and Rose have shines through in every detail of the retreat and you can't help but feel held and supported. Thank you Ian and Rose for shining your light for us!

I did not expect what I experienced with Rose and Ian in the Secret Garden. It was very special... like coming home... - the way I would want it to be; loving, respectful, attentive, guiding, honest, interested, careful yet challenging as far as mediation goes. I have not meditated before and was not aware of what meditation really meant. After the retreat with Rose and Ian I understood one thing for me, that the heart opens and gets a chance to be part of one's life. I feel very grateful for the time and love at Secret Garden. Thank you. Tanja

Dear Rosa and Ian,
Thank you for the special journey I started in your Secret garden. It was a beautiful and instructive experience for me, the garden is a beautiful place, with beautiful cassitas, good healthy meals from your own garden and region prepared by Rose, fine meditations and yoga sessions. You have given everything, I have learned to trust myself, open my heart and find self-esteem. Rose and Ian thank you very much, I hope we will meet again.

The retreat hosted at Secret Garden was amazing! Very relaxing but at the same time I was able to have a profound experiences through meditation. Casita (the room) that I stayed was very spacious even though I shared the room with one other person. Thank you and I will be back again! And I highly recommend others to visit!

I did a Meditation Teacher Training (MTT) with Rose and Ian and it was just the absolute best decision. I already did a training, this one just puts my understanding and practice of meditation on another level. The training started already two months in advance with Rose via Zoom calls every other week. It was very easy to organise it with her, she has such a big knowledge that she always found the exact exercices that i needed to go deeper and came further in my practice/teaching. The retreat at Secret Garden was more than i ever could have expected. Rose and Ian put so much love and energy in everything they do, they say, they teach. If you are looking for a high quality TTC or for a Retreat to grow, to understand, to transform, finding your path in life...i highly recomend to book it here. Thank you from all my heart, Carmen.
