    Hi there Sue and David Now that we’re back on The Island, feeling the chill and looking out over pale grey skies, just a quick thought for all you guys and memories of a wonderful week. I’d just like to say a heartfelt thank you to you all for your warm hospitality, attention and care over the last week, from being plied with G&T, patched up when bloody and soothed with Yin, you really looked after me. And a special mention to Rowena for her exquisite cooking - I’ve not eaten so well and what an inspiration she is, we were all stunned by her skills I think! I’ve been on many retreats, clinics and camps over the years and I can honestly say that my time with you has by far and away the best experience I’ve ever had. So, thank you all once again, have a great winter and see you again next time. Andrew x

    Absolutely outstanding retreat. Stunning venue with superb accommodation and facilities. The food is beyond delicious and the hospitality is second to none. There is always a welcome smile. We were lucky enough to get married here and it was beyond our expectations and having visited Sue and Dave the owners before we new they had high standards but they really did us proud. If you are looking for a yoga retreat with a friendly laid back character that offers spotless beautiful air conditioned rooms along with amazing food and a crystal clear pool look no further. A big thank you to Sue, Dave and all the staff for making the Palms such a special place. Neil & Sarah

    This place is special. I was here as part of a retreat organised by the brilliant Liz Costigan Fleury & it was such an amazing experience. Aside from the retreat the venue itself is beautifully maintained. So much thought & consideration has gone into the food & the meals. The rooms are really well maintained & cosy. I’ve had the best time. Thank you guys SO MUCH.

    I visited The Palms in May this year and it was everything I needed & more that I didn't know I needed! The tranquility of the resort was so incredibly relaxing - between yoga practices I didn't even listen to music/podcasts or read - just lying listening to the birds was all the soundtrack I needed. Everything I walked anywhere there was a beautiful plant or flower to take in and I particularly enjoyed the setting of the outdoor yoga shala. The rooms were charming too & the food, well, I felt utterly spoilt. I'm sure I'll be back & highly recommend to all Yogis needed a tranquil break!

    We had an absolutely fantastic stay at The Palms. Sue and Dave went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Facilities are beautiful and the setting is picturesque and peaceful. Would definitely recommend.

    Thank you Peggy Sue, Kevin & Sonny Jim for sharing your magnificent home with us this week. You really have it all sussed especially your key team, Sue & David. This retreat has been in my diary through what has been a challenging year - and I was super excited about having 4 days to recharge. The Palms exceeded all my expectations; a small slice of heaven ❤ Absolutely perfect in every way 🙏

    We had an amazing stay at The Palms, staff were friendly and welcoming. Sue & Dave went above expectations to deliver the perfect stay. The food was exceptional and added to the overall experience of the yoga retreat. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing stay in Spain.

    I have just returned from a 4 day retreat at this amazing place. I arrived slightly frazzled, anxious and in need of some TLC. That is exactly what I got. A tranquil oasis run by the lovely Sue and David. It really is a magical place, created with so much thought and love. I dare anyone to go here and not leave relaxed with a soul full of peace and contentment. The food is delicious and of such high quality. The staff are amazing and so so friendly. The treatments are fabulous. I can't leave a review however, without mentioning the absolute stars of the show....(no not the hot-tub, the exquisite rooms or the gorgeous pool)...but the 3 rescue pups Peggy, Kevin and Sonny Jim. They absolutely completed my whole experience. Having them there and seeing how loved and cared for they are...well that's just an indication of the people Sue and David are...and that is all I need to know. Thank you guys. You have created something so magical.

    What an incredible haven Sue and Dave have created: Warm hospitality, jaw dropping views followings hiking up a mountain, ridiculously comfortable quiet rooms, delicious vegan food and all topped off with a fantastically well stocked honesty bar! Thank you so much to everyone at the Palms and I can’t wait to rebook and recommend to others in need of being spoilt! 🙏

    A great retreat in a beautiful resort. Rooms, food, bar and pool area - and of course yoga areas - are all wonderful. We were well looked after by Sue, Dave, Neils and the rest of the team. The massage by Marcus was amazing. Every detail is taken care of, so you can fully relax and enjoy the stay. Also the craic was mighty! Thanks for having us and see you next year

    Above and beyond all expectations Yoga Retreat! Wow! The Palms Spain is a gorgeous, serene, perfect oasis in a lovely region of Spain. Not only is the location ideal, but the people and services were also amazing. Sue and Dave have done wonders with the place: each and every detail is carefully considered. My room (and all the others that I peaked in) was lovely- the furniture and decoration was beautiful and authentic; the bathroom was spacious, with a gorgeous, strong shower. Beautiful local tiles throughout. Everything was sparkling clean, with a cleaner coming daily to make the bed and clean the bathroom. Each and every meal was carefully planned and deliciously delivered - from the generous breakfast choices to chef Niels' culturally themed multi-course dinners. Dave was always quick to offer tea and coffee, deliciously prepared, as well as serve up perfect drinks at the bar. The pool, bar, gardens, treatment rooms, outside yoga shala, yoga studio, lounge areas- everything was beautiful, inviting, clean, and made the week a dream. Sue and Jane led wonderful yoga classes two and sometimes three times a day! They made sure the yoga style of each class fit everyone's mood, and were open to suggestions and requests. Beyond all that, they were lovely and friendly; eating, chatting and hanging out with us. It felt like a new found yoga family! Furthermore, the additional hikes, massages, and treatments offered really made one feel luxurious and pampered! The price was more than fair, in fact, I'd say the value far exceeded the cost! I'll return for sure, as soon as I can! Thanks again Sue, Jane, Dave, and everyone at The Palms Spain!

    A wonderful oasis of calm and tranquility, a perfect place for yoga, rest and relaxation.The most amazing food, came home feeling nourished and inspired to cook more vegetarian and vegan recipes. David and Sue were the best hosts who went above and beyond hosting, I owe them a huge thank you for their kindness and sensitive personal approach. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    So glad I went - The Palms surpassed all my expectations. The whole place is really thoughtfully laid out with every possible consideration catered for. My room was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. I was there on a yoga retreat and the catering was delicious, healthy and plentiful. The team are welcoming, friendly, professional and fun. Can't think of anything negative to say at all! Can't wait to go back again!

    Just returned from a fabulous four nights at The Palms. The owners and staff were super friendly and so welcoming - nothing was too much trouble. The room was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, and the bed was marvelously comfy. The pool, grounds and exercise areas were true havens of tranquility - well laid out and full of little touches that made it feel extra special. For me, however, the real highlight was the food. I am a keen home cook, with healthy meals made from fresh, seasonal ingredients being my absolute favourite. The food at The Palms was the best I've ever tasted!

    Absolutely brilliant experience Nothing too much trouble, food is out of this world and the yoga classes are superb Would highly recommend and hope to visit again soon

    Absolutely loved our stay at The Palms in August 2019 for our first Yoga Retreat experience. The resort is beautiful with so many meaningful touches you can tell that the owners, Sue and David have put their hearts and souls into it and they share this with all their guests. The rooms are lovely and we had a very spacious, double room with ensuite facilities. The rooms are very clean and again tastefully decorated with lovely little touches. The whole resort is very tranquil with beautiful gardens, quite areas and a lovely pool & sun bathing area. The food is all based on a very healthy diet, catering for vegetarians, vegans and any allergy you may have will be catered for. My husband who has a very healthy appetite and isn't vegetarian, was a little worried that he might be a bit hungry (and smuggled his bag of Minstrels in - other chocolates are available!) well, they never got touched as we couldn't quite believe the variety and options available. His classic line being 'why can't we eat like this at home?!' I did explain that creating somewhere in the region of 12 different salads daily, and a complete 3 course meal every evening was probably not possible for just the two of us! So have no fear you will definitely feel completely replete but in a very healthy way! There is also a very well stocked 'honesty' bar which we all enjoyed as of a balmy evening and then see who made it to 8:00am yoga the next morning! The Yoga sessions were great and again covering the complete spectrum, from Bikram style to a very peaceful Nidra (and everything in between), catering for every level in a completely non-intimidating way with Sue and Jane leading the classes in a very intuitive way. We often had visits from our 4 legged friends who came in to demonstrate how to do a Downward dog properly, so a love of dogs is a must! And nothing better or more refreshing than practicing whilst looking at the mountain view from the beautiful Shala. David also arranged, and was a guide for some other outside activities, which were great fun and hilarious on our waterfall hike. The less said the better, so as not to spoil it for anyone who takes this on! We also had the option of booking various therapies from all types of massages with James, (who proved so popular I think he was on site most days of our visit!) and also beauty treatments and facials. I can honestly say that this break did not leave me with 'Post Holiday Blues' I came back feeling healthy, energised and very positive needless to say we have already booked for August next year along with all the great friends we made last year! That says it all!

    A perfect oasis Yoga retreat June 2022 Behind the blue sliding door is a little oasis of peace. As it is boutique size there is never a problem finding a lounger by the pool or a seat at the bar. The thought of a week of vegan/vegetarian food can seem off putting, but every meal awakens tastebuds you didn’t know you had and has you asking for the recipe. The hosts Sue and Dave are beyond helpful from arranging transfers to digging out the scrabble. And then there is the yoga. A chance to try everything from Hot Bikram to mellow sound baths. An amazing retreat thanks and see you soon.

    A massive thank you to everyone at The Palms for the glorious week we have just spent with you. Sue and Dave have created a completely unique, luxurious haven to spend time in. Sue and Dave, together with Jane and Ian, were very friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived and were very attentive, flexible and accommodating hosts. As well as the gorgeous dogs, they have a very friendly, happy team around them from the outstanding chef, Niels, to the therapists carrying out the treatments, the cleaners, gardeners and even the taxi drivers that they regularly use. Our room was a great size, traditional with a quality finish and spotlessly clean. And finally, the Yoga with Sue and Jane, was perfect. It was varied but with classes to gently warm us up, challenge us and wind us back down all the time reading the group, asking the group and listening to the group - just amazing!! Thank you to all xx
