Retreat Center and Vegetarian Conscious Guesthouse Andalusia, Spain

Project Cinco Lunas

In March 2024 we opened the Cinco Lunas Retreat Center Andalusia and Vegetarian Conscious Guesthouse.

The Cinco Lunas is a magical hidden oasis with its charming, playful Andalusian country house and the lush green garden amidst the Andalusian dry vegetation, situated on a fresh river and surrounded by babbling water canals.

Our retreat venue is located near the dreamy white village of Zahara de la Sierra in the Sierra de Grazalema nature park in Andalusia, Spain. The lovingly designed and furnished farm house has served as a guest house for over 20 years.

Our ceremony dome with wooden floor and fire place in the middle is our sacred temple for holding ceremonies. The perfect space for yoga and meditation classes, breathwork and ecstatic dance sessions. Or any kind of work with the focus on health, growth and transformation.

Our Philosophy

The Cinco Lunas Retreat Center Andalusia is a safe and mindful space where inner work can be done and transformation can take place. A place where people meet to process and dance, to laugh and cry, to feel their emotions and transform them with joy.
A place where wisdom keepers of ancient traditions come together and share their gifts for the world.
A place of creativity where new visions see the light of day and want to be carried in all directions.

With the Cinco Lunas Vegetarian Conscious Guesthouse we want to create a mindful place where our guests take time to rest and to reconnect. With nature and with themselves. A vegetarian and alcohol-free place where like-minded people meet.

Our aim is to open a field of mindfulness, growth and togetherness at Cinco Lunas and we warmly welcome you to this beautiful green oasis.
As a participant in one of the retreats or as a guest in our guest house.

Your Cinco Lunas team from the Visiones Asociación…

Surroundings & Activities

The Sierra de Grazalema natural reserve is a popular holiday area for Spaniards and foreign visitors. It is a popular area for hikers and nature enthusiasts from all over the world.

The area around Algodonales and the Sierra de Grazalema mountain range is also one of the most popular paragliding areas in the world. Tandem flights can be booked and paragliding courses can be taken. Or experienced paragliders can independently explore the Sierra de Grazalema from above. You can even fly together with the vultures.

If you prefer to stay on the ground, you can go on river hikes. From Cinco Lunas you can go along or even through the Rio Bocaleones to the Bocaleones Canyon. You can also take guided canyoning tours through the Garganta Verde Canyon, at whose heights Europe’s largest vulture colony is located. Vultures represent transformation.

You might have a trip to the enchanting village of Zahara de la Sierra, which is one of the “Pueblos Blancos” – the 30 white villages of Andalusia and also one of the “Los Pueblos Más Bonitos de España” – the most beautiful Spanish villages.
In summer time, you can cross the Zahara de la Sierra lake by canoe or standup paddleboard. During the day or during full moon rides.

Not far away is the city of Ronda, which is a UNESCO world heritage site thanks to its impressive historic bridge and romantic old town, where Hemmingway once spent several summers as a part-time resident.

The city of Seville is about 1 hour and 30 minutes away and is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe with its beautiful historical buildings.

It takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes to reach the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean in the west or the Mediterranean in the east.

The impressive Caminito del Rey mountain trail can be reached in about 1 hour and 30 minutes. The Caminito has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For some it’s probably a dizzying tour due to its height.

So there is a lot to discover and to experience in our region….

About us

The Cinco Lunas Retreat Oasis is a project of the Austria based non-profit association Visiones, which was founded in 2019 by us Désirée and Markus (both from Germany).
For many years we have had a vision that keeps coming back and becomes more and more present. The vision of a center for transformation, holistic healing and spiritual growth.
Since 2012 we have been on a committed path of our own transformation, healing and inner growth. In learning to walk this path, we have dedicated our lives to supporting others on their individual journeys and sharing with others what we have learned so far.
With the Cinco Lunas we are now bringing our vision into reality and launching our first retreat center.

We have a long-term lease on Cinco Lunas from Gonzalo, who owns the place and has run Cinco Lunas as a guesthouse for over 20 years. He is still the operator of Cinco Lunas, but now more in the background. He is now focusing more on his passion of playing chess.
