Yoga & Meditation | Hiking & Healing | Culture & Cuisine
During this yoga and hiking wellness retreat on the majestic island of Mallorca (also "Majorca") we'll stay together in a renovated, historic stone villa designed beautifully for indoor-outdoor living near the Roman village Pollença. We'll practice yoga, meditation and pranayama daily, eat delicious farm-to-table meals together by the pool, hike amidst picturesque villages, coastlines, beaches and remote mountains in springtime, wildflower splendor.
Nick-named "la island de la calma" and known for its crystalline waters, white sand beaches, rugged and remote mountains, sunny climate, rich history, charming historic villages, delicious local cuisine, artistic traditions and local hand-craft markets, Mallorca, is one of the Balearic Islands (along with Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera) off the coast of mainland Spain in the Mediterranean.
UNESCO World Heritage
The Cultural Landscape of Mallorca's Serra de Tramuntana is a UNESCO World Heritage Site: "The Cultural Landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana [is] located on a sheer-sided mountain range parallel to the north-western coast of the island of Mallorca. Millennia of agriculture in an environment with scarce resources has transformed the terrain and displays an articulated network of devices for the management of water revolving around farming units of feudal origins. The landscape is marked by agricultural terraces and inter-connected water works—including water mills—as well as dry stone constructions and farms." (unesco.org)
The Song of Sibyl: Declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2010, El Cant de la Sibil-la, is a song with medieval origins and Gregorian melody. It was introduced to Mallorca by James I “The Conquistador” and became the most unique Christmas tradition on the island. It is sung every year on Christmas Eve.
The Balearic Islands themselves are also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Read more HERE.
"It's the deeply rooted artistic tradition combined with an extraordinary natural beauty that's attracting the latest influx of creative types [to Mallorca]." (New York Times Style Magazine)
"The Balearic Islands are a natural paradise, full of protected areas and nature reserves that allow visitors to enjoy hundreds of outdoor activities. Several of the nature reserves are underwater, such as the Cabrera archipelago in Mallorca...." (balearicmarinecluster.com)
