EXPLORE SURYALILA

Location 

 It's approximately 45 minutes from the historic and beautiful walled city of Cadiz and an hour’s drive from Sevilla, the vibrant heart of Andalucía.

On the edge of a stunning, mountainous national park, the property sits in a river valley overlooking country farms and the white lakeside village of Bornos.

The History of La Fabrica​

Suryalila was previously called ‘La Fabrica’ and was a working olive and dairy farm a hundred years ago. It had several large barns for cattle and also housed an olive mill. All the olive oil was produced on site. The large farm provided work for many employees.

​When Spain became part of the European Union, new legislation came into effect which required the upgrading of the mill and the machinery used. At this point the family who owned the property were unable to afford the upgrades and therefore decided to sell the property. They sold it to a Spanish couple who had the idea of creating an exclusive retirement home.

​The man who bought it was a building contractor and spent 6 years completely renovating the property. Unfortunately his plans never came to pass and he never fully completed the project. He and his wife wanted to move back to Barcelona and sell the property, but unfortunately this came at a time when the property market in Spain was collapsing.

La Fabrica Becomes Suryalila

The property had been on the market for over a year when they found it. They were amazed at how perfectly the property would fit their needs with just a few minor changes. They had to finish the renovation and outfit the property to meet the legal requirements for a guest house. This was no small task.

They also had to furnish eight houses and a huge dining room. Vidya, the owner, purchased and shipped three containers worth of furniture and decorations from Bali, and Suryalila was born!

​Join Us for Olive Season!

Every September and October is olive season in Andalucia, Spain. First they harvest from a few select trees around the property which are best for eating olives. (Traditionally, there are three varieties – cracked green, medium cured, and sun dried black.) Then, when the olive trees are at peak ripeness, the local villagers show up and harvest the olives for olive oil, as they have been doing for generations.

​The harvesting is done by surrounding each tree with a drop cloth and banging on the tree branches until the olives fall down. The olives are then gathered up and taken to the local olive mill to be pressed, and hundreds of litres of gorgeous, sun-gold organic olive oil are delivered back to us to use in our kitchen the rest of the year. How lucky we are!

Just in time: your visit to Suryalila in the fall means that you won’t miss the olive harvest!

Suryalila Retreat Centre, originally an olive hacienda, is located close to the charming villages of Arcos de la Frontera and Prado del Rey.

AMENITIES

Suryalila provides different levels of all-inclusive accommodation to suit every budget.

Their prices include three delicious organic vegetarian meals a day, yoga classes in their beautiful shalas and use of all the facilities.

​Every room is individually decorated with hand-picked pieces from Spain, Bali, India and Morocco, inspired by founder, Vidya’s, travels around the world. 

•  Combining her work as a fashion designer in Bali with a passion for art and interiors, Vidya brings her personal touch to every corner of Suryalila with flair and imagination. 

• She loves to combine bright colors, interesting textures and eye-catching artwork. Her intention is that everyone who comes here feels joyful and inspired by the vibrant decor. 

yoga shalas

The Om Dome

It was always part of Vidya’s dream to create the most magnificent Yoga Hall in Europe. 

Ganesha Yoga Shala

Ganesha Yoga Shala is our lovely secondary yoga studio, which is large enough to accomodate over 30 Yoga students. It's a beautiful yoga hall with a wood and beam ceiling.

The Moon Shala 

Designed and built by natural builder Tom Rijven and his inspiring students and friends the Moon Shala is a sustainable cob (straw bale and mud building).

The Garden of Stillness

The meditation garden where you can take a moment for yourself or join a group meditation surrounded by the exquisite Andalusian countryside.

Salt Water Swimming Pool

The pool is set amidst stunning and vast vistas of the beautiful Spanish countryside. Summer months in Andalucia average around 30º Celsius, so taking a dip in the pool can be a very regular event! There is a lovely covered terrace with dappled light which offers shade from the hottest part of the day. You can also choose to sun yourself poolside on our wooden sun-beds in the full sunshine.

​They keep the pool chlorine-free, and the salt water makes you wonderfully buoyant! Perfect for floating on your back as the clouds drift by…

​They also have fresh water poolside showers and all guests are provided with large bath sheet on arrival.

​Eco Sauna

Hosts at Suryalila aims to make your experience as beautiful as possible and constantly upgrade the facilities.  You will be surprised to discover new updates.

Right now, they are excited to present you the Eco Sauna!  It was built out of completely natural materials – mainly clay and cob. Loads of love and dedication was put in to this project and they are now proud of the results.

HEALTHY NUTRITIOUS FOOD

Suryalila is dedicated to creating healthy sustainable living.

The Yoga Centre is situated on an ancient olive grove, surrounded by over 350 lovely old olive trees and they produce their own home-cured olives and hundreds of litres of organic cold-pressed olive oil each year.

They also harvest many of their own fruits and veggies from our orchards and gardens. Everything they grow is organic, no chemicals or fertilizers are used.

They proudly serve their own home-grown organic cured olives and our own buttery gold Suryalila organic olive oil to their guests.

On the beautiful grounds, you can still see several massive granite olive crushing stones, giant ceramic olive oil urns (now sporting petunias!) and a line of colorful carts which were all part of the original olive farm.
