Retreat Venue Hire in Málaga
Planning a retreat is exciting, but finding the right place for your group can take time. You need comfortable accommodation, spaces that work for your sessions and enough flexibility to create the experience you have in mind.
Monte Naturivo is a retreat venue in the Montes de Málaga, surrounded by nine hectares of Andalusian countryside. Here you can bring your own yoga, meditation, coaching or creative programme to life, with indoor and outdoor practice spaces, shared areas for meals and conversation, and accommodation across two houses.
We welcome retreat organisers who want to make the programme their own. Tell us what you’re planning and we’ll help you explore whether our venue is the right fit.

A retreat setting with space to come together
Some of the best moments on a retreat happen between the sessions: breakfast before the day begins, a conversation after yoga, a quiet hour by the pool or an unplanned walk among the trees. The venue should make all of that feel easy.
At Monte Naturivo, you can move between the indoor yoga studio, the outdoor practice area, dining spaces and quieter corners of the property. The hills of Los Montes de Málaga provide the backdrop, while the houses give your group a comfortable base throughout the stay.
The location works particularly well for organisers who want their participants to spend time together without filling every hour with activities.
Accommodation for your retreat group
There are two houses at Monte Naturivo, which can be considered together depending on your group size and preferred room arrangement.
Villa Trompetilla is the main house, with bedrooms, shared dining and living areas, a kitchen and the indoor yoga studio. It is the natural centre of group life during a retreat.
Casa Cactus provides additional accommodation in a separate house and adjoining building. It also has its own outdoor spaces, swimming pool and infrared sauna, making it useful when your group needs extra sleeping arrangements or a little more separation.
The right room allocation depends on whether guests will share rooms and how many places you need for facilitators. We’ll help you review the available layout before you make a decision.
| Villa Trompetilla | Casa Cactus | Together | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guests | up to 10 | up to 6 | up to 16 |
| Guest bedrooms | 4 | 3 (2 in the house, 1 in the casita) | 7 |
| Staff / facilitator beds | 4 (staff room with 2 bunk beds) | – | 4 |
| Total overnight | 14 | 6 | 20 |
| Indoor yoga studio | 80 m², for up to 20 participants | ||
Villa Trompetilla is the main house for group bookings; Casa Cactus can be added when you need extra accommodation. Please ask us about exclusive use of the property for your dates.
Villa Trompetilla
The main house accommodates up to 10 guests and 4 staff members. It also features spacious areas for group gatherings, including a dining room and a yoga room, which can host up to 20 people.

Casa Cactus
This additional house sleeps up to 6 guests and is divided into two buildings. The main building includes two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom. A charming annex offers one bedroom and a bathroom, perfect for added privacy.
Indoor and outdoor yoga spaces
The indoor studio offers approximately 80 m² for yoga, meditation, movement and group sessions. Mats and supporting equipment such as blocks, blankets and bolsters are available on site. The outdoor practice area offers approximately 100 m², with views across the surrounding landscape.
Your programme may be focused on yoga, but the spaces can also be useful for meditation, coaching exercises, creative sessions or quieter group discussions. Share your planned activities with us so we can advise on the most suitable setup and confirm the equipment you need.
Spaces for rest, conversation and workshops
Your group can make use of communal areas for meals and gathering, as well as the terraces and outdoor surroundings. Facilities at the property include swimming pools and selected wellness amenities, such as a hammam, sauna and hot/cold tub. A beamer and whiteboard are available for workshops or presentations.
The availability and conditions of individual facilities may vary depending on which house you book and the season. We will confirm exactly what is included in your proposal so there are no surprises on arrival.
Meals and additional services
Food is often an important part of a retreat. Monte Naturivo has kitchen and dining facilities, and catering with a private chef may be arranged as an optional service. If you have a particular approach to meals, or guests with dietary requirements, tell us about it when you enquire.
Depending on availability, we may also be able to put you in contact with professionals for yoga, massage, coaching or other activities. These are options to discuss, not services that are automatically included in every venue booking.
Retreats you can host here
Yoga and meditation retreats. Combine daily practice with time outdoors, shared meals and unhurried afternoons.
Coaching and personal development retreats. Bring a small group together for workshops, guided conversations and space to reflect.
Creative retreats. Use the indoor and outdoor areas for writing, art, movement or other creative work, with quiet time between sessions.
Mindful team gatherings. For teams who value space for conversation and connection away from the usual meeting environment. Check practical needs such as internet, presentations and room layout before booking.
Every programme is different. We are happy to discuss your group’s needs rather than offer a one-size-fits-all schedule.
What to know before you enquire
Every retreat has a different rhythm. A group coming for yoga and quiet mornings may need a different room arrangement from a programme built around workshops, coaching or long shared meals. Before we talk about dates, it helps to know a little about the experience you’re planning.
Tell us how many guests you expect, how many teachers or facilitators will stay on site and whether you have a preferred room arrangement. If your programme includes catering, private sessions or equipment beyond our regular yoga setup, mention that too. We can then discuss which parts of the venue could suit your group and prepare a proposal based on the practical details.
If you’re still at the early planning stage, that’s fine. You don’t need to have every session planned before getting in touch. The important things are your approximate group size, preferred time of year and what you need from the accommodation and shared spaces.

Where is Monte Naturivo?
Monte Naturivo is in the hills of Los Montes de Málaga, outside the city of Málaga. The setting is peaceful and rural, so travel planning matters, particularly when guests arrive from different countries.
If your group is flying into Málaga, we recommend planning onward travel before your retreat begins. We can share arrival information and help you clarify what transport arrangements are possible.
How to enquire about venue hire
Start with a few details: your preferred dates, how many people will attend, how many facilitators need accommodation and the kind of retreat you are hosting. We can then discuss the appropriate houses, spaces and optional services.
The final proposal should make clear what is included, what can be added and the booking conditions. This is particularly useful when you are working out your price per participant.
Frequently asked questions about hiring our retreat venue
Can I bring my own retreat programme and teachers?
Monte Naturivo welcomes organisers who want to host their own retreat. Tell us about your group and activities when you enquire so we can confirm that the venue suits your plans.
Can I book Villa Trompetilla and Casa Cactus together?
Both houses can be discussed as part of a group booking. Availability, exclusive use and the final room arrangement should be confirmed in your proposal.
Is yoga equipment available?
The indoor yoga studio has mats and supporting equipment. Let us know how many participants you expect and whether you need anything specific, so we can confirm the setup.
Is catering included in the venue rental?
Catering is available as an option, but what is included depends on the package you choose. We will explain the catering arrangements and any additional charges before booking.
How many people can stay overnight?
Villa Trompetilla sleeps up to 10 guests plus 4 staff or facilitators, and Casa Cactus adds up to 6 guests, for a maximum of 20 people across both houses. The suitable number for your group depends on the room allocation; contact us with your group details for a confirmed sleeping arrangement.
Can you help with transport from Málaga Airport?
We can provide location and arrival information. Ask about possible transfer arrangements when requesting your quote; availability and any extra cost need to be confirmed.
What is the minimum stay?
Our current booking flow refers to a minimum of three nights. Please check the conditions for your dates and type of booking when you request a proposal.
Do I need a complete retreat programme before requesting a quote?
Not at all. An approximate date range, group size and an idea of the activities you want to host are enough for an initial conversation. You can confirm session details and any optional services as your plans develop.
Is the venue price the same as the final cost of my retreat?
Not necessarily. Your retreat budget may also include catering, travel, teaching or facilitation, additional experiences, insurance, marketing and contingency. Ask for a written breakdown of what the venue proposal includes, and what is optional.
Can I reserve rooms for facilitators separately from participants?
Tell us how many people will be working on the retreat as well as attending. We can help you check the available sleeping arrangements and how they suit your group. The exact number of guest and staff places needs to be confirmed for the dates and accommodation chosen.
Can I use the venue for a retreat that includes workshops rather than yoga?
Monte Naturivo has indoor and outdoor spaces that may suit different small-group activities. Tell us what you have planned, including seating, sound or technical requirements, so we can confirm whether the setup is suitable. No particular activity is automatically permitted or included simply because there is a studio.
Is this a medical or therapeutic retreat centre?
Monte Naturivo is a setting for wellbeing-oriented retreats and group activities. Specific sessions are arranged with their respective facilitators; the venue itself does not imply medical treatment or guaranteed health outcomes.
Planning your retreat? Start here
Choosing a retreat venue is easier when you can see beyond the photographs. We have gathered a few practical resources for organisers who want to plan thoughtfully, whether they’re hosting their first group or returning with a familiar community.
- Budget your retreat: understand venue hire, food, travel, facilitator costs and the difference between a full house and an actually bookable participant space.
- Compare retreat venues: use a checklist to ask the same important questions of every property you’re considering.
- Plan the rooming: work out who needs privacy, which rooms can be shared and what your team needs to deliver the programme.
