Choose Your Experience
🌅 Full Day Retreat — €50 per person
The Full Day gives you a complete arc from morning stillness to evening integration. First, you begin with breath and movement. Then, you take to the mountain trails. Finally, you return to the mat to restore.
- 08:30 — Morning Hatha Yoga — Yoga Shala, La Olla, Altea — 90 min
- 10:30 — Guided mindful hike — Valle de Guadalest — 6 hours
- 18:00 — Evening Hatha Yoga — Yoga Shala, La Olla, Altea — 90 min
The morning class sets the tone for the day. Moreover, the evening session helps you release tension and integrate your experience — physically and mentally.
🌿 Half Day Retreat — €35 per person
Prefer a shorter immersion? The Half Day combines one 90-minute Hatha Yoga class with the full 6-hour guided hike. However, you lose none of the depth.
- Morning option: 8:30 Hatha Yoga (90 min) + 6h hike
- Evening option: 6h hike + 18:00 Hatha Yoga (90 min)
Both options are equally powerful. Therefore, choose based on your schedule and energy.
Traditional Hatha Yoga at the Yoga Shala, Altea
Our yoga classes in Altea take place in a peaceful indoor Yoga Shala at La Olla — a focused, distraction-free practice room. This is Traditional Hatha Yoga as it was intended: systematic, alignment-based, and deeply personal. Specifically, each session works with asana, pranayama, and dharana.
All levels are welcome, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. Furthermore, small group sizes ensure personalised attention throughout.
Benefits of Traditional Hatha Yoga:
- Builds strength, flexibility, and postural awareness
- Regulates the nervous system and reduces stress
- Improves breath capacity and lung function
- Cultivates mental clarity and present-moment focus
- Supports joint health — especially valuable before or after hiking
Hiking Valle de Guadalest — Altea Highlands, Alicante
Valle de Guadalest is one of the hidden gems of the Alicante interior. Indeed, few landscapes on the Costa Blanca compare: dramatic gorges, a mountain reservoir, almond terraces, and medieval villages framed by sierra peaks.
Our mindful hiking experiences take you through trails rarely trodden by mass tourism. As a result, you encounter the wild Costa Blanca hinterland in its most authentic form.
What to expect on the hike:
- Duration: approx. 6 hours, including stops
- Terrain: mixed mountain trails, some elevation gain and rocky sections
- Suitable for: people with basic fitness and a spirit of adventure
- Bring: water, snacks, sun protection, and sturdy footwear
Why Combine Yoga and Hiking?
Yoga prepares the body and mind for the demands of the trail. It opens the hips, lengthens the spine, and sharpens focus. After hours in nature, the evening yoga session acts as a recovery ritual. Moreover, it anchors the day’s experience into body memory — both physically and mentally.
This is the philosophy behind Inspire Altea: nature and practice are not separate. Rather, they are two expressions of the same journey inward.
Who Is This Retreat For?

- Hikers curious about integrating mindfulness into outdoor movement
- Digital nomads and remote workers who need a full mental reset
- Couples or small groups looking for a shared wellness adventure

One of my favourite full-day experiences at Inspire Altea. The Yoga Retreat Day combines Hatha Yoga, breathwork and a mindful coastal hike through the hills of Altea — all in one session by the Mediterranean. Whether you join as a beginner or experienced practitioner, the day flows naturally between movement, stillness and connection with nature. Perfect for anyone visiting Costa Blanca who wants more than a single yoga class — a real reset in body and mind.
