Sagrada Wellness - Santa Margarita, California

Traveled to Sagrada for a yoga + writing retreat. It is a beautiful, tranquil space. I chose a private room in the main house with a shared bathroom option. There are two bathrooms available for use (toilet & shower) which makes the set up feel more private. Our group enjoyed the grounds to the fullest - lounged by the pool (amazing views), hiked to the various overlooks, and relaxed in the hot tub. All meals were vegetarian and delicious! Thank you Sagrada team for a wonderful time!

This was my fourth time coming to Sagrada with my best friend from grade school, and it did not disappoint!! We live in the OC so it’s always such a lovely drive up the 101 and then through the mountains to get to the Sagrada lands - 45 acres of pristine untapped nature. The sleeping spaces are beautiful and the singing birds gently wake you up in the mornings like you’re some princess in a fairytale. The vegetarian meals are a delight - Scott was our chef this time (he’s the owner) and having someone cook nourishing food all weekend just puts one at ease. ||Top tips: drink the cherished chai, get up early in the mornings (by 7) so you have time to journal and meditate before breakfast communal time at 8:30. In the afternoons take the Quiet Oaks Trail hike all the way up until you land at the four chairs at the top of the hill, it’s a beautiful view. Go in the summer/fall if you want to use the pool. The writing retreat with Leslie St. John is PERFECTION if you love to journal, read memoir, love art and want to be creatively inspired.

Truly incredible experience! I was given this retreat as a gift and it was even better than I imagined. I went solo, and met a wonderful group of people. The grounds were serene, the rooms and communal areas were well decorated, cozy and clean. I was in a private room named “oak” that was in the main house next to the only other private room in the main house. They both had private exits to the outdoor patio and views of lush nature. The set up was a shared restroom, but with double sinks, and two private showers, and two private water closets, it felt like I had one side all to myself most of the time. There’s a spacious room upstairs in the main house that has six beds, which would be great for large groups. And there are two other cottages. There were plenty of places to lounge indoors and outdoors, to write or just relax and enjoy the scenery, and easy hiking trails conveniently accessible right on the grounds. I loved all the dishes Chef Candice and Dominique prepared so much that I even bought Chef Candice’s book! Meg was the ideal yoga instructor - so easy going, highly skilled and tailored the classes and meditations to our group’s particular needs. Hope and Rich made me feel at home from the moment I got there. I will absolutely be returning. Thank you for a memorable weekend - the first of many more for me!

Sagrada Wellness is a gem and a treasure! I cannot recommend it enough. It is a magical place to restore, heal, contemplate, grow, and rest -- the kind of place where time seems to stop. So much thought has been put into every aspect of it -- the tranquil architecture, the very comfortable lodging, the yoga, the programming, discussions, and on and on.

I did a 3 night yoga + hiking + music retreat. Every yoga session, we were treated to the transcendent rhythms, melodies, and chanting of musician Tony and the asana flows of Nicole. Eva was onsite to offer acupuncture. The food was delicious and plentiful. The homemade tea was delicious. All the program leaders are insightful, wise, and thoughtful, and have incredible instincts for how to offer their gifts while leaving all the space one might want for individual contemplation.

Thank you to Sagrada for a magical experience, and looking forward to seeing ya'll again soon.

My mother and I had the pleasure of joining the Sagrada New Year's Retreat this past December/January. I cannot express enough how incredible this experience was. Every single aspect of the retreat, from the moment we arrived until the moment we left, was utterly perfect. We met incredible people, and Eva, Tony and Nicole, along with the rest of the Sagrada team, made us feel so welcome. Such a life changing experience, we would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you Sagrada team, we will never forget our amazing stay!

What a dream. I booked a retreat at Sagrada Wellness on a bit of a whim and ventured there solo – it couldn't have been a better decision. The whole team – Rich, Hope, Scott, Amar – was incredibly welcoming and kind and made you feel right at home. Nicole was a phenomenal retreat leader and such a wonderful human. Tony is a gem and such a talent. The group of women that I met of all ages felt like family quickly. The property is stunningly beautiful and peaceful. The accommodations were well appointed and the beds comfy. The food was absolutely delicious. Great mix of free time and structured time. It was exactly what I needed and helped bring some clarity to me in a transitional time of my life. Can't wait to come back again someday.

This was my 2nd time at Sagrada and loved it as much as the first time. Enjoyed the beautiful hikes everyday, yoga with Nicole was amazing and the new addition to have Tony Khalife play his beautiful music was just incredible.|The food prepared by Amar was exquisite and missed it when came back home. Great way to spend my long weekend and felt grateful to be the company of such so wonderful people. Thank you and blessings!
