A 16th-century Catalan estate, held quietly for one group at a time — space to breathe, move, paint, and write inside five hundred years of stone.
Ses Garites sits inside the medieval walls of Pals, minutes from the Mediterranean — stone vaults, exposed beams, and terracotta floors that have absorbed five centuries of quiet.
For retreat leaders and small groups, the estate is available only as a whole. No shared spaces, no passing strangers — just your group, the garden, and the stillness of an old house.
Room to spread out. Silence when you need it. A held space, not a hired hall.
Every space at Ses Garites was made for one thing five hundred years ago: gathering people together, quietly.
Open grass, morning light, and the tree line beyond — mats laid out with nothing between you and the sky.
A stone-vaulted room built for quiet — thick walls, soft light, and silence that holds on its own.
Open-air light through the day, wide views over the meadow, and space to set up easels without hurry.
Six quiet rooms, each with its own character — a desk, a window, and enough solitude to finish a thought.
A typical rhythm for a retreat group — shaped around your practice, not the other way round.
Yoga or meditation as the light comes up over the meadow, followed by a slow breakfast on the terrace with produce from the local market.
Painting on the terrace, writing in the library or a quiet room, or simply time by the pool. The estate is large enough that no two people need to keep the same pace.
A second sitting or group session as the light softens, then a long dinner in the vaulted dining hall — candlelight, conversation, and nowhere else to be.
You forget you're anywhere at all. Just stone, light, and the work in front of you.A retreat leader at Ses Garites
