Reviews
I have just returned from a retreat in Alma Mundi. Everything was fantastic The activities were yoga, macrame, kakaying, cycling & meditation..all of which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Lots to do yet nothing was rushed. Such a serene, calm, & peaceful place surrounded by a beautiful, natural environment.
Etienne & Siggi are absolutely fabulous people & cooked the most amazing meals, excellent food I highly recommend Alma Mundi for the mind body & soul.

AlmaMundi is such a magical place to be. I spent the weekend at Siggy and Etienne place and felt so at ease!
The programme was great, the food was even better and the people you meet are even more wonderful.
I felt so disconnect from society and totally connected with nature and yourself, and that was what I was looking for.
Thanks Siggy, Etienne, AlmaMundi and the chickens Lili and Vivi!

AlmaMundi Retreat Centre
Coming to AlmaMundi means going on a simplicity-back to basics façon d'être: outdoor showers, no wifi, camping amongst the olive trees and giving up a few luxury items like hairdryers and electric toothbrushes, as we do not have enough electricity to support them.
We are completely off-grid which means that electricity comes from our solar panels and water comes from our well. We have a compost toilet which uses sawdust in stead of water.
Once a deposit of 30% of your total booking amount has been received, your booking will be confirmed. The remainder of the payment needs to be paid 14 days prior to arrival.
