Tucked away in the verdant and mountainous Alpujarras region, this beautiful hand crafted yurt provides a tranquil space in which to relax, meditate and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.
The Alpujarras region of Spain is picturesque and fascinating in equal measure, and where better from which to experience it than the Green Mountain Yurt, a unique and luxurious glamping site with everything you could need to escape and unwind. The yurt, with its own outdoor kitchen and eco bathroom, is your exclusive space, so if you’re into walking, reading, wildlife and sleeping under canvas and stars then you will love this charming retreat.
The Alpujarras is a hidden corner of Andalucia, located underneath the mighty Sierra Nevada Mountains and between the enchanting city of Granada and the gorgeous Mediterranean coast. It’s an ideal area for walking, whether you’re tackling high level snow line walks or enjoying casual meanderings round the valley, and there’s lots of Moorish history and Berber architecture to discover. The distinctive little mountain villages are a true cultural treasure, you can go open air swimming in one of the many waterfalls and natural pools, there are several horse riding stables in the area, or you can go cycling, canyoning, white water rafting or even skiing. Nature enthusiasts will love the wild flowers, birds and butterflies, this is a popular destination for painters and photographers, and the famous Alhambra is just over an hour away. There’s something for everyone in this special unspoilt part of the world.
