I held a yoga retreat in Mallorca at a beautiful venue called Son Foguero near Maria de Salut, then took a week to relax on my own in the Santanyi area. I travel a lot, and I have to say Mallorca is one of the most easy, pleasurable places I have been to.
Both the terrain and the people have a lovely gentlesness about them. And the sea is beyond comparison for a ocean baby like myself. The island has tremendous contrast offering the charming city of Palma (and the Miro Foundation nearby,) the pine filled mountain ranges and medeival towns, the coves with their clear aqua water....
The only mild disappointment for me was Cala Santany, which I had read was a charming town with a beach that was less touroisty than others on the island. The town has no real charm and the beach was quite crowded with German tourists, nary a Spaniard in view. Nearby Cala Figuera is quite quaint — a good place for a walk and lunch — but no beach to offer.
That said, overall my trip was so enjoyable I plan on returning again sometime soon!
