House Of Light owners Adrian & Ceri discuss the philosophy and unique ethos of our beautiful retreat venue.
This incredible venue is owned by a vibrant, colourful British couple and their family, who have been running transformational retreats for many years and have spent that time creating a space that is fully conducive to completely switching off…
Located in the the middle of the expansive Las Alpujarra mountains, just below the snow-capped tips of the Sierra Nevada, the nearest town of Orgiva is a 15 minute drive away.
This incredible space of healing is surrounded by rivers, mountain goats, eagles (if we’re lucky!), and further up into the mountains are the famous white-washed villages of the Alpujarras, where they sell organic olive oils, fresh cured meats, goats cheese and plenty of traditional Spanish tapas!
The house has extensive gardens, where herbs and veggies are cultivated for meals. Within these gardens are 3 yurt accommodations, a salt-water fresh swimming pool with incredible views, hammocks and a fire pit.
There is a Moroccan snug to cosy down with a book in, and beautiful outside and inside dining areas – with the outside area on a terrace overlooking the valley and mountains below. The perfect spot to cheers to a day of yoga, hiking and meditation with a glass of organic wine or fresh smoothie, and a plate of delicious organic, fresh vegetarian food to line the belly!

A unique heart-centred eco-venue that will take your breath away...
Last year two of our guests shed a tear upon arrival at the stunning House of Light retreat centre.
We think that speaks for itself!
As an experienced retreat facilitator of 5 years, Bethan prides herself on curating retreats that are transformative and healing from the moment you step off the plane, to the minute you land home.
This venue hits all of our integral values: beautiful and considered in its design, created with love as a purpose-built house of healing.
The thing that makes this venue so unique is the perfect balance of comfort and connection to nature in a down-to-earth way. We would call it eco-luxury!

-
During your retreat you will have the opportunity to explore the incredible surrounding areas of Las Alpujarras with qualified, interesting and entertaining mountaineering guides, Jens & Andy. These guys have been running expeditions and walking trips up in the incredible Sierra Nevada and Las Alpujarra mountain ranges for decades, and know the area like the back of their hands. They are highly qualified and skilled mountaineers.
They work with our retreat personally to curate a bespoke adventure in the Spanish mountains.
What You Can Expect:
Collection from our retreat centre in a 4×4 Land Rover
A beautiful drive up into the mountains along winding roads and tracks
A whole wealth of facts and information as we ascend 3 hours of walking in the mountains (easy - moderate difficulty depending on group requirements), including optional wild-swimming in fresh water pools!
See the stunning white villages of the Alpujarras – the area where the witches from the nearby cities created their homes hundreds of years ago, and that still hold potent energetic wisdom now – you can truly feel it!
If you can, we highly recommend partaking in this excursion. You will be blown away by the beauty.

Guided Herbal Medicine Walk (approx. 3hrs, gentle, local)...
Sophie, a local medicinal herbalist, will share her knowledge of the natural world that grows around us. Detailing the medicinal properties of the wild herbs and plants during a walk in the hills surrounding House Of Light. The walk itself is medicinal but when you know the plants and remember them every time they pass by you, walks can become magical experiences. It is something that always excites Sophie, to look at the abundance of useful plants that grow around us. She invotes you to explore them together! The walk is around 3 hours, and is very gentle; discovering the local area.
