Getting Mindful in Majorca
Don’t be a beach bum – add a splash of something special to your sun holiday this year with a yoga retreat in paradise.
Where is the event?
Our retreat unfolds on the beautiful Balearic island of Majorca. Home to dazzling beaches, remote mountains and achingly quaint hilltop villages, it’s a paradise worth exploring as you journey into yourself. Your hideaway for the week will be in a traditional Spanish villa called a finca, nestled into gorgeous countryside just 30 minutes from Palma.
Is it right for me?
Like soaking up the sunshine? Want to get away from the chaos at home and to enjoy some quiet time in nature instead? Eager to dive into your yoga and meditation practice, cooling off in warm Mediterranean waters afterwards? Then yes, this is right up your cobbled Spanish street!
WHY HERE?
Because you want to unwind. Set in its own land, the finca has plenty of areas in which you can relax, rejuvenate and recharge. Say adios to the hustle and bustle of daily life and say hola to hours whiled away in a shaded garden hammock or on a poolside lounger. You’ve plenty of time to be busy back at home. This is your chance to do nothing but spend time with yourself.
Because you want to drink in some culture. The finca is within walking distance to the quaint inland village of Porreres. Wander through traditional markets, take in the paintings of Salvador Dali at the art gallery and join the locals outside for an afternoon aperitif, basking in the shade of historic buildings as Majorcan life sweeps (or idly meanders) by.
Because the hilltop views cannot be missed. Take a walk from the finca to the nearby Santuari de Monti-Sion – a former hilltop hermitage with its own simple chapel and exquisite views across the island and beyond. Soak up the views of expansive farmland and white-capped seas after a morning’s energising yoga class. It’s the stuff that wanderlust is made of.
Because you need time to yourself to recharge and refuel your soul and because it offers quiet time in peaceful surroundings. Take a walk up the hill outside the villa to the former hilltop hermitage, Santuari de Montison. With its own simple chapel, it is the place to experience views across the island and out to sea.
What can I look forward to?
A space free from “clock time”. A place where you can adapt to the leisurely pace of island life instead. A chance to develop your yoga practice, in both an energising and restorative way, from the best teachers around. Chilled-out villages. Tranquil gardens. A burst of citrus from the villa’s own lemon trees. Mouth-watering food. Blossoming friendships. Inspiring conversations. Peace. Beauty. Escape.
Not only will you be in the best yoga-hands with Aoife Kane, but we are sending out our Cliffs of Moher Retreat chef to cook for you for the retreat. Expect to be amazed and have your taste buds tantalised!
Tell me about the
accommodation?
The fabulous Finca Sanau is set in its own gardens (complete with those lemon trees and hammocks we mentioned before!) It boasts a traditional Mediterranean vibe with simple, yet elegant and tasteful furnishings. There’s a place for dining and lounging around inside, as well as plenty of terraces and spaces for sun-soaking outside before a dip in the patio’s pool.
The large windows of the yoga space enable you to gaze out at the trees of the garden and listen to the birds as you practice – what better way to get your zen on?!
You’ll be sleeping in a gorgeous guesthouse a short walk away from the main house. Surrounded by lush flowers, this little slice of heaven is the perfect respite after a day’s exploration and discovery.

What will my day look like?
Once you’ve gotten the pesky business of travelling out of the way, you’ll quickly find yourself immersed into a simple and blissful lifestyle. Your mornings will include a challenging and gratifying yoga class before a healthy and delicious brunch of Mediterranean fare. Then you’ll get to enjoy some free time – including swimming, sunbathing, exploring, hiking, massages or naps – before another yoga class in the evening and yet more delicious food! It’s a simple formula, really. But we’ve found that it works pretty well.
