Travel
Flights are available from most UK and European cities to Málaga – one and a half hour’s drive from the retreat.
There are also direct flights to Gibraltar from London and Manchester. Gibraltar airport is only a 30 minute drive, once across the border.
Once you have booked your flights, we will assist you with transfers to and from the villa by putting you in touch with transfer or taxi companies and, where possible, we will co-ordinate group pick-ups once we know your travel schedules.
We will stay in contact with you to ensure that your journey is as smooth as possible.
How it Works
Days are split between group singing and rehearsals, 1 to 1 sessions, and smaller group sessions in hourly classes starting from 9am through to early evening. There will be plenty of breaks and chances for time out.
For the smaller groups sessions and 1 to 1 coaching you will be allocated to a coach that is best suited to your vocal abilities, but everyone will get a chance to work with all coaches throughout the week.
Rehearsals are the most exciting part of the day when everyone comes together to learn the repertoire for the end of week show, whilst perfecting a crowd stopping medley for the mid-week flashmob!
