The W.A.Y. Yoga Holiday
A personalised Mediterranean holiday combining yoga, authentic local experiences, beautiful food and time to unwind. Join one of our scheduled holidays or let us create a private escape for your group.
More than a yoga retreat. A Mediterranean experience designed around you.
The W.A.Y. is about experiencing Valencia, not simply staying at a retreat. Yoga anchors the days, but there is also time for beautiful food, local wine, adventure, connection and simply doing nothing at all.
Small, personal and relaxed — your holiday is shaped around the people who are actually there.
Your Home in Valencia
Sanctuary La Esmeralda is your home during the W.A.Y. — a peaceful private space in La Cañada, just outside Valencia. With a dedicated yoga studio, garden, pool and comfortable bedrooms, it is a place to practise, relax and feel completely at home.
Close enough to enjoy the energy of Valencia, yet far enough away to slow down, unwind and enjoy the rhythm of Spanish life.
Choose Your Stay
Whether you want a long weekend away or the full W.A.Y. experience, choose the stay that works for you. Join one of our scheduled holidays or bring your own group and we can create the experience around you.

Hosted Yoga Holiday Weeks
Prefer joining a scheduled holiday?
Twice a year we host exclusive Yoga Holiday Weeks at Sanctuary La Esmeralda. These dates are perfect for anyone who would like to join a small group rather than organise a private holiday. Come on your own, with a friend, your partner or a family member and enjoy a beautifully organised week of yoga, Mediterranean living and unforgettable experiences.
