The center
Barcelona Yoga Weeks retreat center was built in a big and beautiful modernistic house in the heart of Barcelona. The beauty of the space resides in staying in a Gaudi-style house from 1890. Please expect a beautiful, welcoming, clean, and peaceful guest-style house.
The center is located in a nice and quiet street, yet it is only minute’s walk away from the central Gothic neighborhood and a 10-minute walk away to the beach in Barcelona. The retreat center is one of the cataloged examples of the modernistic movement (Gaudi’s movement) and was built in the year 1890.
The building and the house have been conserved with all its magic features, such as colorful flooring, high and decorated ceilings, long and airy corridors, the iron works of the back facade, and smart distribution of the rooms, allowing all of them to have access to outdoor spaces, such as internal patios or balconies.
The venue has the first elevator installed in the city, also dated 1890, a magnificent example of woodwork and engineering for old high-class housing. The center can accommodate up to 10 guests at a time.
Rooms
All rooms are spacious and carefully designed by one of the most creative and youngest design studios in Barcelona, PPT Interiors. The result is a welcoming, highly beautiful, and comfortable center to stay, relax, socialize, and practice yoga in. You will not find luxury; rather, find it in the simple, nice, clean, and very cozy furniture and decoration. You will be in a space that welcomes relaxation and a nice rest, promising a comfortable and social stay for your training.
Restrooms
The house has a total of three bathrooms. These are shared within the house and are cleaned daily, offering the nice comfort of feeling at home.
Kitchen

The house has an airy yoga space with a chimney and a long wall to practice. They kept some of the beautiful old features, adding a modern touch.
A constant merge of old and new, keeping the best of the past yet always moving forward!
There is also an amazing rooftop located at the top of the building. A unique space equipped with changing rooms and amazing outdoor showers, to practice yoga whilst enjoying a great view, the sunrise and the sunset overlooking the city.
