Join Sallie Rivers and Megan Schici for 5 nights / 6 days in Catalunya’s Costa Brava in Spain.

You’re invited to discover the wild serenity of Costa Brava, meaning “rugged coast.” This majestic piece of Spain’s Mediterranean coastline stretches from the France-Spain border, south towards Barcelona. The region is well-loved for its picturesque Medieval-era towns, beautiful rolling hills and gorgeous beaches, and is the perfect place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

During our retreat week, you will deepen your connection to your senses in the excellent company of like-minded friends. Rest, reset, and nourish yourself in the haven of our boutique seaside resort while you enjoy daily yoga practices with Sallie and Megan. 

The food will be a highlight of your experience. Every meal at the resort will be specially prepared for you featuring delicious and locally sourced Mediterranean dishes, and will include meat, seafood and vegetarian / vegan options.

This itinerary also includes three guided cultural excursions that highlight the unique must-dos of the region.

On your first full day in Costa Brava, you will spend time exploring the beautiful coastline on a guided walk on the nearby coast. You’ll get stunning views from up high on cliffs, of the serene aqua blue sea water. You’ll take our shoes off and cross soft, sandy beaches, and end the hike with some delicious Spanish tapas at a seaside cafe.

You will then spend a day visiting the cultural and historical city of Girona, including an expertly guided tour of the old city, complete with lunch at a delicious local restaurant, and a visit to the Salvador Dali Museum in nearby Figueres. 

The Costa Brava region is also famous for its medieval villages and local wineries. Included in our retreat is an afternoon touring the quaint, 11th century village of Pals, plus a visit to a local wine cellar, with educational tour, tasting and catered lunch.

The town of Begur is a 30 minute walk (or 10 minute drive) from the retreat property, and features wonderful little shops, restaurants, and ruins of a Medieval Castle. Fancy a beach day? The stunning beaches of Pals are a short 5 minute walk from our resort.

Of course, there is ample free time to simply sit by the pool, read a book, get a massage, visit a nearby village, and connect with Sallie, Megan and a like-minded community of new friends!

Arrival Date: Sunday, May 31st 2026 

If you will arrive at Barcelona Airport (BCN) on the retreat start date, please plan to land by 11am. We will schedule one included group transfer from the airport to our resort in Begur (about a 1.5 hour drive), and arrive in time for an afternoon meal.

Please note that you will likely need to depart from the United States on Saturday evening, as flights heading over to Spain are typically overnight flights.

Note: If you plan to arrive a few days early to spend extra time in Barcelona prior to the retreat start date, we will also make one pickup stop in the city center before heading to the retreat center. Barcelona’s streets are tightly regulated, and so the hired transport can only stop in select areas. You should be prepared to take a short taxi or Uber to a central location on the morning of the retreat start date. We will send specific downtown pickup details about a week beforehand.

Departure Date: Friday, June 5th 2026

Please do NOT book flights that depart before 12pm the departure date, as we will be traveling about 1.5 hours from our resort in Begur to the airport that morning.

Note: We will plan to make one stop at the airport, and one stop in the city center for anyone staying on and exploring Barcelona after the retreat. Once again, this stop will be made in a central location, and a short taxi ride will likely be necessary to reach your specific hotel or AirBnB.

If you are spending extra time in Barcelona, we recommend booking hotels / AirBnbs in the El Born and Gothic Quarter neighborhoods, as they are great, safe areas and very central to many of the local attractions. If you’d like to view other recommendations of things to do, please visit this helpful guide that we’ve put together: Barcelona City Recommendations.

Once you have booked your flights, please forward your itinerary* to travel@solseedretreats.com.

SolSeed is not authorized to sell travel insurance. Any offer to purchase travel insurance that you encounter during the checkout process are third party offers. You are free to select your own policy provider. If you would like to review options in a convenient online marketplace, we like what www.insuremytrip.com has put together. We have also had great experience with Trawick International and their customer service, and heard very good things from AAA and AMEX Members who have purchased their travel insurance through those respective agencies.

We strongly encourage you to speak with a travel insurance agent to discuss your specific coverage needs, and to clear up any questions you may have relative to travel insurance coverage.
