Your Quiet Countryside Getaway in Rural Spain

Affordable, self-paced nature breaks for Muslim Sisters looking to rest, reflect, and share gentle community.

Rest and Reset in rural Spain

You can choose how you fill your time, whether it's walks, swimming in the pool, remote working, journalling, community meal preparation or joining in the sister's Islamic activities in Òrgiva. There are also massages and therapies available to book and an included optional therapeutic circle.

Located near the Muslim community of Òrgiva, 50 minutes from Granada and 10 minutes from the spa town of Lanjaròn, enjoy the peacefulness and healing quality at Casa Halima. These short stays, up to one month, allow quiet living, personal space and gentle community with other Muslim sisters. There is a maximum of five sisters at any one time.

From only €220 to €310 per week, it is an affordable way to have a break in a safe and nurturing, sisters-only Muslim environment.

Cortijo Halima is purposely isolated so that you have a sense of a complete break from pressure and the world. Sisters can feel at home and use the space as they need. Socialising is optional for those just wanting alone time.

We embrace a warm, collaborative house dynamic where we share light, daily tidying and take turns preparing lovely community dinners together.

For those wanting healing or inner exploration, there is an optional bi-weekly therapeutic circle run by Yasmin.
