Staying Shanti Yoga Retreat Space
June in Málaga is warm and sunny, making it an ideal time to enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle. Daytime temperatures typically range from 27–30°C (81–86°F), and it isn't uncommon for some afternoons to climb into the mid-30s°C (mid-90s°F). To help you stay comfortable, we'll begin many of our activities in the cooler morning hours, leaving plenty of time to relax by the pool, enjoy the shaded outdoor spaces, or unwind indoors during the warmest part of the day. Evenings are pleasantly mild, averaging 18–20°C (64–68°F), creating the perfect setting for gentle yoga, meaningful conversation, and quiet moments beneath the stars.
Getting There
Your adventure begins in Maine! As a group, we'll travel together by bus to Boston Logan International Airport, where we'll board our overnight flight to Málaga, Spain.
Upon arrival at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, I'll be there to personally welcome you. From there, we'll enjoy a scenic drive of approximately one hour through the beautiful Andalusian countryside to Shanti Yoga Retreat Space, nestled in the peaceful Sierra de Mijas Mountains.
From the moment we leave the airport, you'll begin to experience the charm of southern Spain—rolling hills, whitewashed villages, olive groves, and breathtaking mountain views. By the time we arrive at the villa, you'll be ready to settle in, unpack, and begin your retreat experience.
