Where Buddhist Groups Can Retreat Together
Group Meditation Self‑Retreats in the Alpujarras, Spain
A Simple Retreat Home for Tired Hearts and Busy Minds
Welcome to our peaceful home in Alcazar. We bought this house as our very own retreat - hence the name. It is not a temple but a family home where we come to switch off, unwind and meditate when normal life has drained us of our spirit.
We feel others would appreciate this house as their own space for group self retreats, Buddhist practice or anyone who just needs to step back, breathe and connect with the stillness, space and nature. Alcazar is known to the residents as ‘The Quiet’. There are no bars, cafes or shops, just a collection of whitewashed houses with views over the Sierra Nevada mountains.
What Makes This a Unique Buddhist
Self‑Retreat Space
A Home Steeped in Buddhist Practice
Stay in a practice‑friendly house created and used by a Buddhist family specifically for their own self‑retreats and meditation.
The atmosphere naturally supports silent self‑retreats, reflection, and simple daily schedules for different Buddhist traditions.
Space for Groups to Retreat Together
The Retreat is a spacious, comfortable home designed for big groups and families who want to practise together. You can cook, meditate, and rest under one roof, with enough space to share practice while still having privacy
Deep Quiet in a Tiny Mountain Village
Alcázar is known locally as “The Quiet,” offering stillness, big skies, and gentle walks in nature, all overlooked by the magnificent Sierra Nevada mountains. This peaceful setting helps groups unplug from busy lives and drop more easily into focused practice.

Wrapped in mountain nature, under big open skies
Immersed in the calm of the natural world
The house was very nice and had beautiful views. Everything was very clean and tidy. The owners communicated with us quite easily to clarify doubts, Cristian was very nice and friendly, at all times very attentive to us so that nothing was missing. Everything was perfect!

An incredible place to stay, clean, comfortable and welcoming. The area feels really warm and relaxed. The view from the balcony makes it especially fantastic! We went on a short walk nearby and the views, wow!!! Highly recommend for a peaceful and pleasant stay.
