About Secret World Writing Retreat
Secret World Retreat is a writing retreat hidden in a private nature reserve, an hour north of Malaga, Spain, with a scenic backdrop of rustic mountains, rolling hills and lush valleys in a hidden corner of the world. Peace and tranquillity at its best! Many writers coming to one of our writing retreats have said that Secret World Retreat is the best kept writing retreat secret!
We offer writing retreats for writers who want to come into our peaceful valley and spend their time writing with no interruptions or distractions. We also run group writing retreats, and since the pandemic hit, we are also offering virtual writing retreats.
On top of that, Paula is a qualified swimming instructor and offers ~ on a selective almost exclusive basis ~ a Learn to Swim Retreat.
