The staff was incredibly attentive, making sure every need was met with kindness and care. The meals were not only delicious but nourishing, offering a perfect balance of flavors and freshness that made each meal an experience in itself.

I especially appreciated the deep spiritual and healing practices offered at La Casa de Loto. The meditation and yoga sessions were guided with such mindfulness and expertise, helping me connect with my inner self in ways I hadn’t imagined possible.

BUDDHIST MEDITATION & YOGA RETREAT
Everyone has a special reason for being here.
In hindsight, I'm glad that my topics in particular came out immediately: It was about choices, feeling insecure and surprising changes.
The whole team at Casa de loto was very friendly, respectful and interested in finding the best solution in every moment.
I really enjoyed the yoga classes with Kamila and the meditation with Pema.
My daily meditation and yoga practice got a boost, some perspectives from the beginning could change during these intense six days.

Thank you very much! I would love to come back. It's a bit of a shame that the prices have now been raised significantly, even though this retreat is still comparatively inexpensive in relation to the services provided. Perhaps a price range according to income/own assessment would be a good solution. Read More

Nice place but not what I expected
Pros: beautiful place and very nice people working there. I found that the balance between silence and some talking/reading was perfect. I liked the yoga clases. Meditation instruction was helpful.
Not what I expected: food was not Ayurvedic as advertised. It was very good for the most part, but not necessarily healthy. Walking around the place is not easy, as all the paths are made from rocks placed on steep slopes. Might be dangerous for someone older. I wish I knew before going. For the price, I expected better cleaning service. Read More

Beautiful, peaceful week in lush nature
I've been participating in the 6 Day Yoga & Mindfulness Retreat offered by Casa de Loto and it has been such a wonderful and rejuvenating experience.

Having spent the past months in a city, I was craving a break in nature and away from distraction to reconnect to my true self, and that's what I found at Casa de Loto. Our Yoga and meditation teacher Camilla was caring, loving, honest and took care of every single one of us with great attention.

The space is beautiful, with little cabanas spread over green hills and a little stream to dip into or lay next to and enjoy the sun. The stuff was super friendly, nice and accommodating and all the meals I enjoyed there were delicious and healthy.

I left with more clarity, focus and gratitude and I am very grateful for that. I highly recommend Casa de loto to anyone who needs to reconnect with their true self and nature and to anyone who wants to learn more about yoga and meditation. Read More
