Olive Tree Yurt

The region of Las Alpujarras is a remarkable, captivating part of southern Spain. An unspoilt destination ideal for glorious long walks, bike rides, wildlife (ibex, eagles, and vultures can be spotted) and photography - but most of all for just kicking back and unwinding. Tucked away in its foothills is a small, organic fruit and olive farm called The Olive Tree Yurt, where peace and tranquility reign supreme.

Back in 2010 Mike and Sara dreamt up the notion of leaving the rat-race (well, if you can call Winchester a rat-race!) and begin a new life in the magnificent Spanish countryside. The following year they packed their belongings, (dogs included) and became the proud owners of a bona fide fruit and olive farm. Jealous? I know I am. 

Soon after arriving, the couple began planning a way that guests could also enjoy their home and its incredible, picturesque views over the Sierra Nevada. The fruition of Mike and Sara’s plan came in the form of a spacious yet cosy Mongolian yurt.

The furnished accommodation has been hand-crafted by a local yurt maker, and comes fully insulated to keep guests cool in the summer and warm on those (rarely) chilly Spanish winter nights. With a super comfy king-size bed, extra seating, and a day-bed (which converts into two singles) there’s enough room to comfortably accommodate a family of four, or five at a push.

Geographically the location is a winner.  A twenty minute walk away is the thriving, and surprisingly bohemian town of Orgiva (apologies for the spoiler!) Home to many British, Dutch and German ex-pats, Orgiva has become a magnet for those seeking an alternative lifestyle and contains numerous bars, restaurants, and supermarkets, plus it also hosts a terrific weekly market. Be sure to haggle whilst tucking into a delicious Moroccan M’Hanncha from one of the many cool cafes.

Take it from Hipcamp, guests could not fail to leave The Olive Tree Yurt without feeling rested, relaxed, and ready to take on life again. We love it, and I’m sure you will too.
