Nature and healing holidays
A place for encounter, healing & reconnection
The Cave Project
La Herradura ("the horsehoe" - named after the shape of the hill) is a growing heartfelt project with around a 72 caves in a historic cave complex. These are being carefully restored to preserve their traditional charm while creating a conscious minimalist living environment.
Set amidst the impressive Andalusian landscape, a unique space is emerging for nature - based and healing retreats - a olace for rest, connection and creative unfolding.
Geoparque de Granada
Our caves are located in the middle of the Granada Geopark, a still largely undiscovered natural jewel in the south of Spain. It covers more than 4,700 km² and impresses with unique desert landscapes, deep gorges, bizarre rock formations and a geological history dating back up to 5 million years.
Whether on foot, by bike or with a local guide, the Geopark opens up spaces for connecting with nature, grounding yourself and changing your perspective. Thermal springs, starry skies without light pollution and original villages.
The Geoparque de Granada is a UNESCO-recognized area.
CaveHotelAndalusia
Our cave hotel is a vibrant place - for those seeking nature, stillness and inner connection. What began as a small project has becom a space where mindful travel and personal growth come together. We offer nature- and healing- oriented retreats: guided hikes, breath and bodywork, creative expression and systemic work invite you to go deeper. Groups are also welcome - whether for retreats, workshops or seminars - authentic, personal and with a touch of magic.
About me
I am Sabrina, the soul behind CaveHotelAndalusia. With a passion for bodywork, coaching and systemic constellations, I have created this place to offer people a space for self-discovery and healing.
This is where my experience, intuition and love of nature come together -
for everyone who wants to calm down, find new perspectives and connect with themselves.
Sustainability
What is so special about cave houses?
The first, most obvious reason is the architectural arrangement. However, there is another compelling reason for the boom and admiration for these constructions. A reason that has to do with our changing perception of the environment and sustainability. Cave houses, although some date back to the year 500, are more energy efficient than the vast majority of our 21st century homes and are better prepared for Andalusia's weather conditions. They maintain a constant temperature between 18 and 22 degrees all year round, so the use of air conditioning is not necessary.
This optimal thermal insulation leads to energy savings of up to 50%. In addition, caves have a high level of sound insulation, which prevents noise pollution.
We want to consciously respect our environment. For this reason, we are taking measures that help reduce the impact of our activities by betting on the use of LED lamps and gradually replacing the cisterns with double discharge tanks to reduce water consumption.
We work with biomass, a renewable biofuel in which we use organic matter as an energy source: from agricultural waste such as olive bones or fruit peels to wood residues such as sawdust. These components emit a type of CO into the atmosphere2 that is neutral to the environment as it is of plant origin.
We know that sustainable tourism can contribute to the development of our country and therefore we encourage all our guests to join this commitment, to use water and energy responsibly and gratefully, to buy local products and to connect with nature.
Enjoy comfortable accommodation in the heart of nature, tranquillity and good weather while contributing to the preservation of the planet.
