About The Retreat
You will be staying at a five star luxury estate, architecturally designed with nine luxurious king bedrooms, all thoughtfully refurbished with their own en-suite bathrooms. The estate is located in Catalunya, Northern Spain, just outside of Girona, 90 Minutes from Barcelona. The area is known for its vibrancy, creativity, art, history, and picturesque countryside. The retreat venue itself is a unique wellness retreat, full of history that has been thoughtfully reimagined with modern design and architectural renovation to create an environment of beautiful understated luxury. A place for inner reflection, connection and re-balancing. There is a 16-metre salt-based pool with outdoor lounges, a sauna, and a Japanese Ofuro hot tub to enjoy between yoga classes. And you might even indulge yourself in an onsite spa treatment with the local experts. This retreat is catered to the yogi that wishes to progress their practice, being immersed in all things yoga. We will enjoy extra long, playful flow classes, explore different asanas through workshops and progressive sequences, and inspire your life off the mat with practical philosophy chats. And of course a bit of meditation, pranayama and mantra for a complete practice. The yoga studio embraces heritage and neutral colours. The perfect space to dive deep into the practice. With hardwood floors and a modern feel, you will be immersed not just in the practice of yoga but also the natural surroundings. You will feel at ease in this natural setting, perfectly curated for you to feel at one with the surroundings and yourself. The organic kitchen garden is amongst 40 acres of walnut trees & provides the key ingredients for our farm-to-table approach that centres around homegrown organic food. All the ingredients will be fresh, natural and local products, free of gluten, refined sugars and lactose. While the dishes will be primarily plant-based, eggs (from hens onsite!) and cheese will be also be on the menu. We can cater for all dietaries, just let us know when booking. You will have freedom throughout the day to explore local surrounds, within just 20 minutes you can be in the historic town of Girona, or visit one of the beaches of the Costa Brava famous for its turquoise blue waters. The magical location offers seclusion and wanderlust, providing a true sanctuary in which to escape the pressures of busy life and explore the sights and sounds of this beautiful country.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this retreat for?
Our retreats are available to anyone who is wanting to take a week off from their busy life and experience a week of yoga, nourishing food and connect with like minded people in the most dreamy places. This retreat is aimed at the yoga student who wishes to deepen their yoga practice & has prior yoga experience. We will be moving our bodies a lot on retreat so please let us know in your booking form if you have any injuries, health conditions or recent surgeries so we can cater for you.
Can I come alone?
Absolutely! A yoga retreat is a great place to make new friends and meet like minded people. You are welcome to book a single room or we can pair you up with other solo travellers for a shared room if available. If for some reason there is no one to pair you with for a shared room, you would need to pay for a single room.
How many people will be on the retreat?
This is an intimate retreat with only 12 spaces available, with 2 teachers for the perfect student to teacher ratio. We love to create an intimate environment to create community while still giving you the freedom to be able to do your own thing when you like.
What food can I expect on retreat?
Only the best! We love food and it is such an important part of the retreat experience. We work with our venues to curate a beautiful menu of fresh and local cuisines. Typically meals are communal and a time to connect and share. If you have any dietary or medical considerations, please let us know in your booking form.
Are flight and airport transfers included?
Flights and transfers are not included in the retreat price. However, if you need advice on how to get to the venue we are more than happy to help to make your journey smooth and stress-free!
How do I get to the retreat venue?
We suggest to fly into Barcelona (90 minutes from venue) or Girona (20 minutes from venue). We can help you organising transfers or taxis just let us know upon booking.
What should I bring?
We will provide you with a suggested packing list for each retreat. We always recommend a swimsuit, sunscreen, hat, walking shoes, journal, reusable water bottle and of course, comfortable athletic wear for duration of your retreat. We will let you know if you need to bring a yoga mat and props or if they will be provided by the venue.

10/10 would recommend! It was wonderful from start to end. The location in Spain was unreal. Janet and Amy have such a gift for making you feel welcome and comfortable. The days had a great balance of rest and activity. Also the food was delicious. Nectar does a beautiful job of curating an amazing retreat experience!

Amy is an amazing yoga teacher who adapts her teaching to suit the group, and all levels of yoga. She is very attentive with adjustments, meaning that you really get the most out of the sessions and improve your postures. The atmosphere Nectar cultivated on retreat was really welcoming, friendly and relaxed. Highly recommend whether you’re travelling with friends or joining solo.

Amy was an amazing host and the Nectar experience was relaxing, vibrant, and personal. I came in to this retreat wanting to unwind from a stressful start to the year and within a day I felt the stress melt away. I highly recommend Nectar Flows to everyone!

My retreat with Nectar was one of the most invigorating trips in my life. Good company, good food, and good flows made for a rejuvenating week in NZ wine country. Janet, Amy, and Bec are fantastic yoga instructors and excellent facilitators of community and personal growth. This was my first yoga retreat and I highly recommend a Nectar retreat if you’re considering your first.
