This beautifully restored Catalan farmhouse blends rustic charm with modern comforts, offering cozy accommodations, gourmet vegetarian/vegan meals made with local produce, and stunning indoor and outdoor spaces.

With facilities like a 120m² yoga shala, meditation room, workshop areas, a pool, and a sauna, it’s the perfect place to relax and recharge. Surrounded by 10 hectares of organic gardens and serene forest, Amara Valley is an invitation to reconnect with nature and yourself.

All stays include meals and access to all facilities, ensuring a nourishing and rejuvenating experience.
