Set in the mountains just 15 minutes from Tarifa, this unique 5-bedroom villa offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views over the Strait of Gibraltar.
Surrounded by nature, the house combines artistic design with a warm and refined atmosphere. Each space has been carefully curated, blending natural elements with a modern, stylish aesthetic that makes you feel both inspired and at home.
The villa features a spacious garden, a private pool, and several terraces where you can relax, enjoy the sunset, or simply take in the panoramic views stretching all the way to Africa.
Inside, the house offers generous living areas and five beautifully designed bedrooms, making it ideal for groups, retreats, or families looking for a quiet and special place to stay.
This is more than just accommodation. It’s a space to slow down, reconnect, and experience Tarifa from a different perspective—close to the energy of the coast, yet surrounded by calm and nature.
Program
On the arrival day, you’ll make your way to Tarifa and settle into the villa. The first evening is about arriving, relaxing, and getting to know the group in a natural and easy way.
Each day starts with a relaxed breakfast at the villa before heading into the day’s activities. Depending on the conditions, the week flows between kitesurfing sessions and time on the water sailing along the coast.
On kitesurf days, you’ll head to the best spot based on the wind, where coaching is adapted to your level in small groups. The focus is on progression, but without pressure—taking the time to really improve and enjoy the process.
Three days of kitesurf coaching are included, adapted to your level and organized in small groups. Whether you’re just starting or looking to improve, the focus is on steady progression in a relaxed and supportive environment.
On sailing days, you’ll experience Tarifa and its surrounding from a different perspective. Whether exploring the coastline or enjoying a sunset on the water, these moments bring a different rhythm to the week and create space to relax and connect.
In between, there’s always time to unwind at the villa, join optional yoga or mobility sessions, or head into Tarifa town for coffee, tapas, or a walk through the old streets.
Evenings are flexible—some nights you’ll share a relaxed dinner or BBQ together, others you can explore Tarifa’s restaurants and atmosphere.
On the final day, you’ll have breakfast together before departure, leaving with new experiences, new connections, and a different feeling of what a week by the ocean can be.
Included excursions
Throughout the week, you’ll experience Tarifa from different perspectives—on the water, in motion, and in nature.
You’ll spend time on the water during two sailing experiences along the coastline. From exploring hidden spots to enjoying a sunset at sea, these sessions bring a different rhythm to the week and allow you to experience Tarifa beyond the beach.
To balance the active days, Free Your Mind Experience includes a light excursion into nature, such as a scenic walk in the surrounding hills or along the coastline. It’s a simple but powerful way to slow down, move differently, and take in the landscape from another perspective.
All activities are organized for you, so you can fully focus on enjoying the experience without planning or logistics.
Instructors
Tanja Rosenkranz

Tanja teaches Hatha and Vinyasa flow yoga in her own style. Kitesurfing is her passion too, whether it's to get her adrenaline feeling in competitions, organize kite camps on the most beautiful spots in the world, or teach a lot of students in order to share this passion. The result is Free your Mind Experience and its home base in Tarifa but offering a variety of top-class destinations such as Dakhla or Sri Lanka.
Wiebke Sye

As both instructor and manager, she combines strong technical knowledge with a calm and patient teaching style. She has a natural ability to make people feel safe and comfortable in the water, especially beginners or those who may feel unsure at first. Her supportive approach helps students build confidence step by step, always at their own pace. Lilli brings a positive, grounded energy to every session.
Location
This experience takes place in Tarifa, at the southernmost point of Europe, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. Known for its unique energy, Tarifa is shaped by the wind, the ocean, and a slower, more natural rhythm of life.
Unlike typical tourist destinations, Tarifa has kept its authentic Andalusian character. Whitewashed streets, small cafés, local boutiques, and a vibrant old town create a relaxed and social atmosphere without mass tourism.
The coastline offers a variety of landscapes—from wide sandy beaches to hidden spots and endless views towards Morocco. With the constant presence of wind, Tarifa has become one of the most iconic places in the world for kitesurfing, while still offering space to disconnect and enjoy nature.
You will stay at Villa Jaras, a beautiful and peaceful house surrounded by nature 15 minutes from Tarifa in the mountains. It offers the perfect balance between privacy and proximity—a place to relax, recharge, and enjoy the group experience.
