Hacienda Retreat
We offer this opportunity to FEMALES only because of the shared dormitory accommodation . We are also looking for helpers ideally that can speak spanish and english. I am english and the chef is spanish.
At the Hacienda we have a wonderful organic rural location - offering the helpers a chance to practice their Spanish/English, learn vegan/vegetarian cooking, interact with people from all over the world, enjoy yoga/meditation classes when invited and to make friends with their fellow helpers.
We have now installed a big window in the kitchen area to increase ventilation for the summer months -
The Hacienda is in a rural location surrounded by olive groves and the rolling hills of Andalucia so if you enjoy nature, great weather, hiking and peaceful tranquility plus yoga and good food it will not disappoint.
We are usually looking for max 5 helpers in total to assist with the housekeeping/cooking and be part of the Hacienda Team :)

Here is a review from a recent volonteer helper Sofia, which best describes the environment - check out our other reviews on this site.
"....This was my first volunteer placement and it was great!
I spent a week at the retreat and will definitely be back in the future. Tracie is lovely, a great host that looks after her helpers.
The work is simple (you work in shifts which makes it really easy) and worth it for all the perks: beautiful surroundings, the most amazing food and the chance to join in on yoga and meditation classes.
The dorms where the helpers sleep are nice and comfy. Don't miss the chance of going on a trip to Montefrio on your day off.
I had a great time at the retreat with my fellow helpers and got to relax in the beautiful surroundings.
Thank you Tracie for a great first experience as a helper at your yoga retreat."

About the experience in: Granada, Spain
Portugal
My first volunteering experience was here, in this humble home, where I was welcomed by Tracie; I can honestly say I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everything met and exceeded my expectations—from Tracie's incredible hospitality and the girls I had the pleasure of meeting, to Che, the chef I had the privilege of assisting and learning from (what a wonderful person she is)🩷🩷
Overall, it was a positive, enriching experience that I would repeat a thousand times over! I highly recommend it and hope that every year brings plenty of girls who want to be part of it and support Tracie 🩷

The hacienda was a big surprise. I met wonderful people, the volunteers whom I will carry in my heart, Tracy the owner, and Che, the head chef. Everyone was very friendly and always ready to help. I connected with nature, improved my Spanish and above all I carry memories for life. In the end, I found myself at the largest olive grove in Europe. It's simply beautiful! Incredible experience, I highly recommend it!! 🩷

My first volunteering could not have been better! The place is wonderful, in the middle of the Andalusian countryside, where we can hike, enjoy the landscape and the silence. The activities are very calm and done in pairs: we set the table, stock food, wash dishes, nothing heavy cleaning. The food is amazing; I had the opportunity to try typical foods from all over the world prepared by the chef. I met other adorable volunteers, I practiced English a lot and we had a lot of fun together. I participated in some yoga and breathwork classes. Tracie is fun, kind, clear and flexible.

I had the best time volunteering here, Tracie is an amazing soul who makes sure you have everything you need. The place is absolutely beautiful, and we were spoiled with the most delicious food. Che is lovely, the work couldn't be easier, and we always had plenty of free time to relax and have fun. I met the most wonderful people here, and I couldn't recommend this experience more!! 💘👼🏻

I had such a wonderful experience volunteering at the Hacienda. Tracie is fabulous — incredibly kind, welcoming, & full of positive energy. The organised tasks were clear and straightforward, with a great balance between helping out and having plenty of time to relax and enjoy the surroundings. It felt like the perfect reset. I loved joining some yoga classes and using the equipment with different teachers. Che, the chef, is amazing, and the food was fresh, healthy, colourful, and delicious! I met so many lovely people- volunteers & guests- and leave with wonderful memories. Thank you Tracie.
