(prices from EUR 30- 70 per night depending upon what you would like - I would advise you choose somewhere a short walk from Yoga in Motion and the beach- but you can also hire a scoter or car and choose one of the lovely places 10 mins or so outside Arillas if you feel like something a bit different (...like my lovely former home Mandala House)
