Private Luxury Estate in Seville, Spain

Join us for a six-night small-group creative retreat that blends immersive Spanish cultural experiences with abstract art workshops, all set at a private luxury estate just outside of Seville, Spain.
Leading the artistic portion of the retreat is your neighbor, an accomplished Greater Philadelphia area abstract artist. You’ll take part in thoughtfully designed painting sessions open to all experience levels, with an emphasis on creativity, confidence, and experimentation.
Your home for the week will be a stunning 13th-century Andalusian fortress estate reserved exclusively for our group, surrounded by nearly three acres of lush gardens, offering an inspiring setting to create and unwind.
The retreat is organized and operated by Hidden World Travel Guide LLC, which curates the cultural experiences and manages all logistics throughout the week. Beyond the studio, you will explore the rich traditions of southern Spain through curated experiences guided by a local expert, including a flamenco performance, an olive oil tasting, visits to local villages, a contemporary art museum housed in a former monastery, and authentic Andalusian cuisine.
Designed as a small-group experience, the retreat offers a unique opportunity to combine artistic exploration with meaningful cultural discovery in one of Spain’s most historic regions.
Registration closes August 30! Space is limited, so sign up soon to secure your spot.
