01
Move.
Yoga, hiking, movement, training.
Forty hectares of tracks, meadows and hills to walk, run or ride. Morning yoga on shaded terraces. Training that starts and ends outdoors.
02
Rest.
Sleep, massage, meditation, silence.
Dark nights and quiet mornings. Treatment rooms that open onto the landscape. Meditation under cork oaks. The permission to do nothing at all.
03
Learn.
Masterclasses, talks, workshops, conversations.
Small groups and exceptional people. Sessions happen in open pavilions and under trees, never in a conference room.
04
Gather.
Food, music, fire, ceremonies, community.
The long table beneath the cork oaks. Music after dinner. A fire bowl and a sky full of stars. This is where the different worlds at YAH meet.
Ceremonies and celebrations
Say it under the cork oaks.
Weddings, ceremonies, birthdays, reunions and company gatherings, hosted the YAH way: long table, open sky, no ballroom.
Forty hectares give every gathering its own place: a meadow for the vows, the fire circle for the night, the pavilion when the weather turns. Our kitchen cooks from the land, and the people you bring stay in the bungalows and villas around you.

Questions before you book
What hosts ask first.
How many people the estate holds at once. Whether a retreat is exclusive use or shared with other guests. What is included beyond the rooms. How far ahead to plan.
Write to us with your dates and numbers and we answer specifically, not generically. Thirty-seven keys set the upper limit; exclusive use of the whole estate is possible for retreats, ceremonies and celebrations.
Ask about your datesMasterclasses
Come with a question. Leave with a new perspective.
Small groups. Exceptional people. No conference-room atmosphere.
A teacher and a handful of participants seated informally under a mature cork oak: notebooks, water, shade and landscape. The kind of session that continues over lunch and changes what you do when you get home.

Food
Grown here. Cooked here. Shared here.
We believe some of life's best conversations happen around a table.
Bread, olive oil, vegetables and herbs from the land, served on handmade ceramics. Simple, seasonal and made to be shared at a long table.
Wellbeing
Feel human again.
Wellbeing at YAH isn't a programme. It's how the place is designed.
- Move
- Breathe
- Eat
- Swim
- Walk
- Rest
- Sleep
Community
The people make the place.
The most meaningful luxury isn't what surrounds us. It's who we share it with.
Entrepreneurs and artists, teachers and students, families and friends, thinkers and makers. YAH is built so that they meet: at the table, at the fire, on the trail and in the pavilion.
