Nature Breaks for Muslim sisters

If you need a break from every-day life or would like to have a tranquil and beautiful place to work remotely, you can join the community and book a room at Cortijo Halima. This is not an organised retreat, but a chance to spend time in nature with other sisters, join in on some communal tasks and have time for prayer and connection.

Simple living and quiet is sometimes exactly what we need to reconnect with Allah and with ourselves.

There is a basic charge of $200/£150 per week for food and power costs and then we will ask a donation amount towards maintenance and upkeep of the property. Whatever you feel inspired to give, either before or after your stay. Suggested donations from $75/£50.

A safe space in a sisters-only community.

The intention is to provide a safe and caring space for sisters and to live according to Islamic Sufi principles of loving-kindness, helpfulness and taqwa.

During the week you will have time to:

• Have time to yourself to pray, relax by the pool, walk in nature or work online if you want to.

• Engage in some community tasks such as cooking and cleaning as part of the team. Tasks are fairly shared out and take up no more than two hours a day.

• Go to town twice a week for supplies and join the Orgiva community for Juma prayer and other sisters activities. Or bring your own hire car.

• Opportunities to book a massage and other therapies.

Practical things:

Each stay is from Saturday to Saturday. You are responsible for booking your own flights to either Granada or Malaga. Taxi for you to get to the venue. Depending on how many sisters are coming and what time, this cost can be shared between you. You can also hire your own car and drive.

Please note, the nearby town of Lanjaròn is about half an hour/40 mins walk.

The cost is for your own private room with shared bathroom. If you'd like to come with a friend or family member, shared rooms are also available. There are a maximum of three rooms available.

We would love to hear any questions you may have about these stays.
