Space to reset, with support if you need it
Sometimes, a change of environment is all it takes to gain a fresh perspective. Rayo del Sol offers a peaceful setting for mental clarity, reflection and a break from everyday stress.
Created by a psychologist and a social worker, we can offer advice from a professional psychologist on site for those who would appreciate a conversation or personal guidance during their stay. No therapy programme, no pressure. Just support when you want it.
Enjoy your own space and freedom, while sharing beautiful moments, ideas and experiences with open-minded people.
Come as a stranger. Leave as family.
[ ABOUT RAYO DEL SOL ]
Work, create & live surrounded by nature
Who says your office needs four walls?
Start your day with coffee on the rooftop terrace overlooking the mountains. Open your laptop at your desk in the treehouse with an amazing view, work from our shared co-working space, settle at the big table beneath the trees, or find a quiet corner in the garden.
When work is done, nature is right outside.
Go hiking. Take a swim. Join a yoga class. Read in a hammock. Cook together. Watch the sunset. Or simply sit beneath a tree and listen to the birds.
Rayo del Sol offers a different kind of remote work and nature co-living experience in Spain, but you don't have to be a digital nomad to feel at home here.
Maybe you're a creative working on a new project, a nature lover looking for a simpler way of living, someone taking a break from the busy pace of modern life, or enjoying your golden years surrounded by nature and good company. You might come with a laptop, a sketchbook, a new idea, or simply the desire to slow down and see what happens.
Rayo del Sol is for independent, open-minded people of all ages and backgrounds who want to live, work, create and reconnect in a different way.
Nature outside. Inspiration within. Space to work, create & reconnect.

Retreat into nature
Silence. Simplicity. Connection.
Rayo del Sol is more than a nature retreat near Valencia. It is a place where nature becomes part of everyday life. Nature starts at the doorstep.
Surrounded by the mountains near Sierra Calderona Natural Park, you can step straight onto hiking and cycling trails, explore hidden caves and ancient villages, discover climbing spots and find quiet places with amazing mountain views.
And when you're ready to explore a little further, there are mountain lakes & rivers, waterfalls and authentic villages waiting to be discovered. Perfect for a picnic, a refreshing swim or a full day in the great outdoors.
From a morning swim to a sunset hike, there is always somewhere new to explore.
Close enough to wander. Wild enough to feel a world away.
And sometimes, the best thing to do is nothing at all. Slow down. Breathe. Listen to the birds. Watch the sunset. Let the mountains set the pace. There is no pressure to be anywhere.
Come to disconnect from the noise. Reconnect with what matters.
Off-grid, but never out of reach
Simpler living. Lighter footprints. Deeper connection.
At Rayo del Sol, we explore a more conscious way of living through permaculture principles like using solar power, collecting rainwater, growing our own food, giving new life to things through reuse and upcycling, building with natural materials we find here & more.
Here, you can learn about permaculture, get your hands dirty if you want, share ideas and discover small ways to live more sustainably.
And although we're off-grid, modern life is never far away. Starlink Wi-Fi keeps you connected, while the village of Alcublas, just 3 km away, provides the essentials for everyday life.
It's a chance to experience off-grid living in Spain without having to give up all the comforts of the modern world.

Host your retreat or group holiday in the mountains near Valencia
Prefer to co-create rather than simply rent a venue? Welcome to Rayo del Sol!
Bring your yoga or wellness retreat, concious events, creative gatherings, group holidays or workshops to our eco project in the mountains.
We love working with people who have an idea and want to bring it to life together. Rather than simply handing you the keys, we'd like to share our experience of organizing retreats, gatherings and events, and help where we can. Uniting makes us stronger!
We welcome groups of up to 20 people in summer and 12 in winter.
You bring the vision. We bring the place, the experience and a helping hand.
Not just a retreat venue. A place to co-create, connect and inspire each other.
Getting here
