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.
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 4 helpers in total to assist with the housekeeping/cooking and be part of the Hacienda Team :)

Here are the retreats happening in 2024 and nationality of the groups !

Here is a review from a recent volounteer helper Sofia, which best describes the environment - check out our other reviews on this site. "....This was my first volounteer 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."

I really enjoyed my stay, Che is such a sweetheart and Tracie has some great
stories to tell! Would really recommend, if you’re looking for a quieter place in nature! Keep in mind that the hacienda is quite far from everything else, so pack snacks in case you want something specific (BUT THE FOOD IS REALLY GOOD, so no worries :)

This volunteering was a great experience, I really like my time at the hacienda. ☀️ The place is really nice to chill, practice yoga (by yourself or with the group when there is enough space), have a walk in the olives trees. I spend quality time with the other volunteers 🥰
The tasks asked are simple and well explained. Some days the work isn't necessarily done all at once and it's more several things to do all along the days but mainly during group's arrival day (which can be busy). Tracie always makes sure you're feeling good and she is really nice, thanks so much for this experience 🙏

My experience volunteering at Hacienda was absolutely wonderful and would 100% recommend! Tracie and the other volunteers were so incredibly sweet and welcoming! The guests and yoga teachers were so lovely, and I enjoyed getting to join yoga classes when possible. Tracie always communicated volunteers responsibilities and was easy to reach with questions. Volunteer accommodations were quite nice. The retreat and Spanish countryside was beautiful and a great opportunity to unplug and recharge!

Ha sido una experiencia maravillosa, desde el primer momento Tracie me trató con muchísimo cariño y respeto, siempre haciéndome sentir en casa. Las compañeras han sido una maravilla, me siento súper afortunada de haber tenido esta experiencia tan bonita.

Y por supuesto el entorno es un paraíso. Si de verdad te gusta conectar con la naturaleza y sumergirte en ella, te va a encantar este sitio.

Muchísimas gracias por todo. Un abrazo muy fuerte.

My time at the retreat exceeded all my expectations. The place is beautiful and perfect for connecting with the nature. It’s great that we could join the yoga classes and use the pool when the guests was not there.
I met a lovely group of girls, and we had a lot of fun working together. The work is easy and well communicated. Tracie is a lovely person, with such a good energy and makes a lot of effort for the volunteers and guests. I will definitely try to come back! Che makes delicious food and is happy to teach us her recipes. Thank you for having me!
