It is less than an hour’s drive away from the historic and beautiful cities of Cadiz and Seville and the very best unspoilt beaches in Spain.
On the edge of a mountainous national park, the property sits in a large river valley overlooking rolling hills and in the far distance, the white village of Bornos, situated by the side of a large lake.
With its beautifully decorated rooms, gorgeous rolling hills and olive groves, saltwater pool, and nourishing meals, Suryalila offers it all.

THE PROGRAMME
You will enjoy two yoga classes daily with Jess which will awaken your body, mind and spirit in the most enjoyable way.
