Our yoga holidays in Spain at the wonderful Mas Pelegri hotel and retreat centre
2025
October 18th - 25th with Gareth & Chantal
EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT AVAILABLE
We call these trips ‘yoga holidays’ as opposed to ‘retreats’ because it’s not a strict, full-on affair where you have to get up at the crack of dawn for yoga boot camp, survive on mung beans and water and share a dorm with a dozen others! Hopefully everyone will enjoy and benefit from a lot of yoga during the week… but everything is optional!
THE VENUE, LOCATION & ACCOMMODATION
Historic Hotel Mas Pelegri (Pilgrim's house) has been beautifully restored into an ecologic hotel and has 17 bedrooms all with private bathrooms. The hotel is set in the countryside with beautiful views over the Garrotxa volcanic national park. and the Pyrenees. The hotel is for people who enjoy the outdoors. Onsite there is a 25 metre long pool, a yoga studio with yoga trapezes and gym, a large bike room with tools, sauna and many areas for get togethers and relaxation. The hotel is set in the midst of the best area for biking in the province of Girona, with over 100 different routes from the door ranging in distance and elevation. Every stay includes route maps for biking, hiking and running.
YOUR DAY
Typically, we get up at a reasonable time and have a morning yoga practice from 8-9.15am. Then we have breakfast of fruit, cereals, eggs (any style!) fresh homemade bread/toast, spreads, teas and coffee. Gluten and dairy free options are available.
During the day we’ll organise some activities and include a guided walk to the lakes and waterfalls and maybe some wild swimming, a guided cycle tour with picnic lunch and a trip into Girona to explore this magical historical town. There's also plenty of time to chill out by the pool with a book or explore the countryside on foot. It’s your holiday so you do what feels right! Lunch is generally at about 1.30pm and in the evening there's a second yoga practice from 6-7.15pm followed by dinner at 8pm.
During the week, we’ll head into Girona to explore this magical historical town - some of the Games of Thrones series was filmed here! This gives you time for shopping or people watching in a local cafe! We stay here for the evening and have dinner as a group at one of the lovely tapas places.

We start with a hearty breakfast after yoga, a light 2 courses at lunchtime and 3 courses at dinner all buffet style.

TRAVEL
With regards to travel we will fly into Girona Airport and will be picked up as a group. We will advise which flights to book from the UK. If you are travelling from other destinations do check with us before booking flights as we all need to arrive at about the same time!
Alternatively you might choose to fly into Barcelona. There well be an additional transfer fee for this option as it is a lot further away from the venue. However, that’s no problem for our transport providers :-) We arrange transfers with the venue so you don't need to worry about that. In fact we pretty much do everything for you so you can start relaxing before you actually get here!
HOW TO BOOK
Please contact us using the form on this page or email us on info@livingyogaholidays.com
We’ll send you the booking form and health questionnaire, both of which we will need returning along with a non-refundable deposit of £325 to secure your place.
If you are transferring payment from a non UK based account there will be an additional £20 charge.
N.B. we strongly recommend that you take some kind of holiday insurance that would cover you if you had to cancel after placing your deposit.

“I am not what you would call a yoga expert but I have been on several holidays with Living Yoga Holidays and I have enjoyed them all immensely. Gareth and Chantal are great at putting everyone at ease which helps with group bonding. They also tweak the routines to suit individual capabilities. The venues have always been excellent, as has the food, both testament to the work Gareth and Chantal put into vetting them.
The holidays are very much holidays not retreats, and you can do as much or as little of the yoga and other activities that you want to. Plus there is wine in the evening if you want it!
Looking forward to my next one, just wish they didn’t sell out so damn fast!'“ Ian, UK
“I had an amazing time, with fun, interesting and like minded people, a complete mix of ages, nationalities, and yoga abilities. Chantal and Gareth carefully planned the lessons to everyone's ability, and we all benefited from their extensive knowledge of yoga, postures and zen thinking! I would recommend this holiday to all who are looking for a superb, relaxing and informative holiday.” - Elizabeth, 47, Nice, France
