Why Go On A Yoga Retreat In Mallorca?
If you’re looking for a yoga retreat, there are few places better than Mallorca. With its bright sunshine and white sandy beaches, it’s one of the most popular holiday destinations in the area. But what is it about this little Balearic Island that makes it so perfect for a yoga retreat?
Enjoy The Island Weather
Found just off the coast of Spain, Mallorca is known for its warm weather almost all year round. Sunny skies with no cloud cover and temperatures of between 20°C and 28°C depending on the time of year, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better retreat location.
And since Mallorca has 262 beautiful beaches of white sand and crystal clear waters, it’s the perfect place to reconnect with nature by practising your morning yoga with the sand between your toes. Even in the evenings, Mallorca is warm and inviting, so you can get out and experience the local culture in comfort.
Dive Into The Local Culture
Mallorca is a popular tourist destination for many reasons, and the vibrant bustling culture is just one of them. Depending on what time of year you visit you can enjoy a range of events, including the open-air art show Artdemossa in July, and the Deia International Music Festival. If you want nightlife, the main town of Palma has everything you could want, from cosy jazz clubs to baroque nightclubs, making it a popular destination for holidaying celebrities. Or if you want calm walks down beautiful country roads, visit one of the many picturesque villages dotted around Mallorca, complete with monasteries, cobbled streets and tumbling flowers that will transport you back in time.
Experience New Foods
Mallorca provides a wide range of cosy cafes and beautiful restaurants that are all easy to access by foot, so you can enjoy the culinary world that Mallorca has to offer. The Balearic Islands are known for their unique cuisine, with Palma de Mallorca nestled right at the heart of it all. Mallorcan food is typically based on pork, fish and fresh vegetables from the island, and you’ll find generous helpings of garlic and olive oil in almost every meal. If you’re a foodie, Mallorca is an absolute must-visit spot!
We highly recommend trying Tumbet while you’re here – a combination of friend aubergine, potatoes, red peppers, tomatoes and garlic that will have you coming back for seconds every time! Or if you’ve got more of a sweet tooth, Mallorca is the birthplace of the Ensaïmada, which is a truly delicious sweet spiral pastry you’ll want to eat every day.
Enjoy A Slower Pace Of Life
As part of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca enjoys a calmer, more relaxed pace of life compared to many other Western countries. Locals have a laid-back attitude that’s perfect for travellers of all ages and types. Take a leisurely stroll through the lemon orchards, visit a family vineyard overflowing with local Mallorcan grapes, or visit one of the many artisan shops and restaurants selling local products. Siesta at midday and live life in the slow lane for a little while. Each town in Mallorca has its own unique vibe, so you can experience a different Mallorca every day at your own pace.

Then, of course, there are the benefits of the retreat itself. Spending time focusing on you, your practice and your soul.
