ABOUT OUR RETREAT HOME 

Our retreat home is a spacious villa in Crestatx, set beside the s’Albufereta Natural Reserve on the north coast of Mallorca. It’s bright and peaceful, with wide open living spaces, a private swimming pool, sun terraces, and shaded corners for rest. The bedrooms are airy and comfortable, with natural light and quiet surroundings to support deep rest.

There are plenty of communal spaces to connect with the group as well as private corners for journaling, reading, or simply unwinding. From enjoying meals outdoors, to lounging by the pool, to stepping out into the surrounding landscape, this beautiful villa will be the backdrop for our days together.

Address: Carrer de la Falguera 10, Crestatx, Balearic Islands, 07420 España

LOCATION AND TIME ZONE 

Mallorca is in Central European Time (CET), GMT+1 in October. This is the same as most of mainland Europe, and one hour ahead of the UK.

CLIMATE

Late October in Mallorca is generally mild, but it can vary. If we’re lucky, the days can still be warm and sunny, though given the season it may also be cooler at times, especially in the mornings and evenings. Expect:

• Daytime highs of around 20–22 °C

• Nighttime lows of around 14–16 °C

• A mix of sun, cloud, and the occasional autumn shower

We recommend packing layers so you’ll be comfortable if we practice outdoors in the mornings, plus a light jacket or sweater for evenings. A swimsuit is still worth bringing in case the pool or sea feels inviting! We will definitely taking a dip :)
