Step into the pages of The Vacationers and escape to the sun-soaked coast of southern Spain, where long lunches stretch into the afternoon, the sea sparkles under endless blue skies, and every day unfolds with the promise of something new.

Join us for an intimate three-night book retreat in Málaga, a vibrant Mediterranean city that captures the warmth, indulgence, and layered emotions at the heart of the novel. Designed for readers, dreamers, and lovers of slow travel, this retreat is an invitation to step away from routine and savour life a little more fully.

We’ll be staying together in a beautiful private villa, where sunlit terraces, sea air, and relaxed Spanish charm set the scene for rest, reflection, and connection.

Days are intentionally unhurried — spent reading by the pool, wandering through historic streets, lingering over tapas, and soaking up the Andalusian sunshine. Whether you’re curled up with the book that brought us here, journaling with a view of the Mediterranean, or sharing stories over a glass of local wine, this retreat is about slowing down and embracing the simple pleasures of a holiday well spent.
