Peaceful Holiday Re(Treat)

In Andalusia, Níjar

Taste the serenity of the Garden of Nâm Living. Choose to partake in meditation sessions as per your preference, or simply unwind and enjoy the ambiance. You can enrich your stay with Yoga, working in the garden, a relaxing massage and small excursions. Are you looking for an attractive alternative to finding distraction in entertainment and crowded commercial tourist areas? This peaceful holiday retreat might be something for you.

Take a real break and taste the comfort of stillness and beauty in the midst of an Andalusian oasis. The Garden of Nâm provides such a place; breathing the atmosphere of a simple meditative life around a Hermitage with 6000 m2 of flora and fauna and a variety of guestrooms that will provide a comfortable stay.

The excursions offer plenty of options for a historical, cultural and geographic adventure.  You can enjoy a relieving massage or a harmonizing Yoga class. A rhythm of meditations marks the day and you are welcome to join. Delicious vegetarian meals will be served and there is plenty of time to read. Enjoy a walk in the garden, the surrounding mountains, or into a historical village. Níjar is one of the five most beautiful and colorful pueblos of the province of Almeria, where life is still simple and authentic.

The Garden of Nâm Living is carried and inspired by the life and works of Yoginâm who lives in the hermitage next to the garden. Living the concentrated life of a hermit Yoginâm writes books and texts that support and guide seekers on their quest for wellbeing. Living Nâm is a way of remembering the natural essence from which all human potential sprouts.

In a semi-desert climate, the comfort and beauty of the sea or perhaps drinking cool and pure water from the mountains in Huebro will fill your memory with wonderful experiences to bring home and cherish. An optional menu of excursions without any touristic commercial embellishment awaits you when you feel the call to discover the unique surroundings of your stay.

The leading melody of the Garden of Nâm is just being there without having to do anything. An opportunity to truly unwind and relax. In an atmosphere of stillness the Garden speaks to you while you just sit there and enjoy a cup of tea. A place that many guests have described with a feeling of ´arriving home´.

The Enchanting Garden and Walking Meditation

The Nâm Retreat & Meditation Centre is nestled in a splendid and spacious garden, consisting of 8 terraces on varying heights, all interconnected with stairways and meandering paths. This ecological and edible park boasts over 200 native and exotic trees, including olives, citrus, nuts, and banana trees, along with a rich variety of plants and flowers.

Enjoy a scenic walk with breathtaking views of the mountains and distant Mediterranean Sea. The garden harmonises with principles of permaculture, fostering a balance between nature’s voice and the human need for healthy sustenance.

An eyecatcher in the garden is a big triangle shaped staircase called the Triad of Being. This isn’t just a symbolic structure; it’s a potent instrument for contemplation and personal transformation. It is designed by Yoginâm as a vehicle for realising the true nature of being human. The Triad serves as a focal point during the Meditation Walk in the garden.
