Passports and Health/Travel Insurance
After Brexit, it is a requirement that your passport will be in date six months after your trip. Please check your passport. We would also advise to get your own travel insurance which includes medical insurance.
How do I get there?
You will need to purchase your own flights to Spain. We can assist you in finding the best flight if needed.
The venue is 1.5 hours from Malaga or 50 minutes from Granada airport. We ask sisters to arrive approximately at the same time to be able to share taxis. The cost of the taxi is €120 from Malaga and €100 from Granada which can be shared out between sisters. This must be arranged in advance. There is a WhatsApp group for everyone to stay in touch and coordinate.
Please note: Please do not bring luggage larger than cabin size or max 24".

Unfortunately, the retreat venue has many stairs and uneven surfaces so is not suitable for wheelchairs or limited mobility.

Please have a chat with us and we can discuss this further.
Is there Wifi?
Yes. However, we do encourage sisters to disconnect from the world as much as possible during the retreat.
Is there a safe at the property for valuable items?
At the moment, there is not a safe at the property as we have not thought it necessary due to the secluded location and no local incidents of theft. If concerned, do not bring additional valuable goods.
Do I have to wear hijab on the retreat?
No, there is no requirement to do so and up to your own discretion. The venue is very secluded with no males around besides occasional maintenance if necessary when we would inform everyone.
Can I apply for concessions?
If you are on a low income and receive income-related benefits, you can apply for a concession place. The amount of discount depends on our fund and is currently limited to 25%. Please use the form to apply and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
