About the Location — Rural Andalucia at Its Very Best
Yoga & Wellness Retreat Centre
Cortijo Las Salinas sits near the village of Sabariego, in the province of Jaen, at the heart of rural Andalucia. The setting feels private and secluded, but you are never far from everything you need.
Getting here
Granada Airport: 1 hour | Malaga Airport and the Costa del Sol: under 2 hours | Cordoba: 1.5 hours | Seville: 2.5 hours
What's nearby
The nearest towns are Alcala la Real (south), Alcaudete (north) and Priego de Cordoba (west) which offer excellent restaurants, markets, shops, and vivid Andalusian town life. The village of La Rabita, a short drive away, has a supermarket, ATM, and a café (where the churros are legendary!).
From the Cortijo, direct walking trails lead into the hills and mountains. The Sierra Nevada is one hour away — skiing and snowboarding in winter, hiking and cycling in spring and summer. The UNESCO World Heritage sites of Granada and Cordoba are both within easy reach. On the right day, you can ski in the Sierra Nevada in the morning, swim in the Mediterranean in the afternoon, and be back in time for dinner on the terrace.

What People Say About Cortijo Las Salinas
"Arriving here felt like coming home — we've already told our friends they need to visit." — Jed McCabe, Guest
"This was a week of heavenly bliss. The Cortijo is just under 2 hours drive from Malaga, we stopped at a fabulous restaurant en- route (Caserio de San Benito). ... The Cortijo is a work of art and has been lovingly restored with a variety of spacious rooms/apartments, a beautiful swimming pool, a yoga Shala with incredible views across the hills and olive groves. There are fabulous views 360 around the Cortijo. There are so many wonders from the most delicious food, beautifully presented and served in the outdoor dining area... We walked to the river and swam in the refreshing water, walked up to the top of a hill with fabulous views, sang, danced, had an amazing massage and of course had daily yoga. I could go on and on singing the praises - we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you so much." TripAdvisor Review
My wife and I have returned from a weeks yoga retreat here. It was everything we could have hoped for - more actually.
The views are spectacular and the renovation of this once abandoned and run down property ( of which they’ve kept details of) is sympathetic to the surroundings and peaceful... The pool area is lovely. The yoga area also has great views of mountains and olive trees. TripAdvisor Review
I feel obliged to write a review of Cortijo Las Salinas because I feel it deserves to be made known to anyone travelling to Spain why this place should be regarded as one of best venues the country has to offer! I was privileged enough to be a guest at a wedding there recently and spent the best part of a week at the Cortijo. From the outset you can tell that a great deal of work mixed with admirable taste in spanish decor has made this the most idyllic spanish retreat. Complimented by rolling hills of olive trees and set back a mile and a half away from any roads, you instantly feel liberated from normality and as relaxed as could possibly be... Its difficult to know where to start when trying to describe the place as the entire complex was so impressive, it was like something off a film. I live in Australia and I have many other countries I wish to see and explore but I've already began to plan a trip back here to see and experience this place again, it literally is that good.
