Note: arrival days for Christmas & New Year may differ
If you have asked us to arrange an airport transfer, our logistics manager will email you one week before your arrival date to confirm the details of your transfer.
Journey Time
There is no fixed collection time at the airport because we group guests according to flight arrival times. Generally the earliest transfer will be around 11am to meet the first arrivals and the latest shared transfer will leave by 14:00 – Note: your flight should land by 13:30 in order for you to clear customs in time to catch the last group transfer.

Collection times are arranged to get you on your way to the retreat with the shortest wait possible. After you have cleared customs and collected your luggage, look for your driver at the meeting point (see photo in next section).
DELAYED?
If you are delayed we will wait for you up to one hour in the coffee bar. If you are delayed more than one hour, we will try to fit you in the next group transfer, if there is space; or a private out-of-hours transfer can be arranged (see cost below).

Meeting point at Malaga airport
Transfers are operated by a small team of friendly, self-employed locals who know the area and provide a personal service in English/Spanish. This service is offered because there is no taxi company in our local town and our drivers know exactly where to go, saving you time and money.
Out Of Hours Transfers
To book an Out of Hours Transfer, please send an email to travel.spain@outlook.com with your flight details and your mobile phone number.

Driving Directions
Google Map Position
36.898582 – 3.441095 Directions in brief: follow the Mediterranean coast to Motril, turn inland towards Granada and follow signs to Orgiva
Full Directions
On leaving the airport follow the signs for MALAGA and then ALMERIA & MOTRIL – AUTOVIA A7. After about 10kms the motorway divides and it is important that you continue in the left hand lane to follow the signs for ALMERIA & MOTRIL (do not filter right to the A-45 for Cordoba Sevilla). You are on the Autovia del Meditaraneo going eastwards along the coast and you will drive through numerous long tunnels for approximately 100kms. At junction KM 328 the motorway divides again and you keep in the right hand lane : exit the A-7 and follow the signs for A-44 Velez de Benaudalla, GRANADA & JAEN (do not go towards Motril and Almeria). Continue another 10kms until you see signs for junction KM 175 ORGIVA and LAS ALPUJARRAS. The slip road brings you down the hill to the large dam and roundabout where you turn right towards ORGIVA. Keep going for about 20 mins until you go through a tunnel, then turn immediately left to a bridge over the River Guadalfeo towards ORGIVA. Follow the main road through the town and continue to follow directions for GRANADA. As you leave ORGIVA you will pass a small BP filling station before a stone bridge, then carry straight on and after 0.5km there is a larger BP filling station on the right.
Landmarks from Orgiva to Kaliyoga
1) Continue for about 1km and you will see ‘Camping Puerta de la Alpujarra’ campsite on your left. Carry on about 400m – there is a short section of the straight road followed by a sharp right-hand bend (see photo 1 & 2)… Slow down at the Chevron. 3) INDICATE LEFT and TURN LEFT immediately by the long green hedge and go past the recycling & bus shelter – now follow the unmade road that runs parallel to the main road for a few meters, then it heads south towards the mountains. Follow the track slowly as it’s quite bumpy. You will pass a white farm building on the right and then at the bottom of the hill keep LEFT at the building called “Fabricolat de Queso de las Alpujarras” (see photo) then continue straight past a large circular water container to your right… Continue straight on for about 600 meters. Keep going straight… Don’t follow any turnings to the right… you’re nearly there… the Kaliyoga sign is on the right just after the brow of a short steep hill (see photo).
