Notes
El Palmeral is a non-denominational retreat holiday centre in southern Spain, only 10 mins drive from the Costa Blanca beaches. The private Mediterranean gardens have date-palm, olive, orange and lemon trees, as well as a Poustinia for private prayer, a garden labyrinth and several seating areas. Add to that the large swimming pool, spacious patios, highly-rated traditional Spanish cuisine all included, the Studio bar, outside chapel and our in-house movie theatre, and you have a unique retreat experience to relax, refresh and renew.
We have a choice of guided retreats and flexible ‘TimeOut’ breaks. Please check the online calendar on our website for exact dates and availability. All our retreats include a daily rhythm of sharing in morning prayer, house in quiet in the afternoon siesta time and evening compline, using Celtic Daily Prayer.
