Spring in March
Hiking in nature provides numerous health benefits. In March, when you can experience the early spring bloom (yes, spring starts earlier in Mallorca), you’ll reduce stress hormones by enjoying the healthy scents of trees and plants, an improvement to anyone’s mental health after a long winter. And March averages a pleasant 17ºC (63ºF) in Mallorca, with a typical Mediterranean water temperature of 15ºC (59ºF).
Santanyi, Mallorca
Santanyi is a small and perfectly charming Balearic town in the southeast of Mallorca. With only a 10-minute walk from Cal Reiet, you’ll be in the center of town and experience a laid-back athmosphere, with picturesque streets flanked by quaint and cozy cafés, restaurants and boutiques. The turquoise beach is 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) from your hotel, a small sandy cove with fine white sand. Twice a week there is a market in Santanyi, known as the best market in this area by locals.
Hotel Cal Reiet, Spa and Yoga Shala
Cala Reiet is a manor built in 1881 with 15 beautiful rooms. The current owners have created a holistic experience designed to foster rejuvenation and inner peace. Every detail is designed to make you feel at home. You can always find a quiet spot in the garden or by the pool to reconnect with your body, mind and spirit. The hotel has spa facilities with two saunas, a Turkish bath, a hot tub and treatment rooms. You can even book a massage to unwind after a hike.
Depending on the weather, yoga sessions will be conducted either outdoors in a covered yoga terrace or in the indoor yoga shala, both spaces being aesthetically ideal for yoga.
Healthy Vegetarian Food
Cal Reiet's Table is a vegetarian, plant-based restaurant offering vegan and vegetarian dishes. Their mission is to offer tasty, colorful and healthy food loaded with nutrients, aromas and passion. Organic and locally sourced ingredients underpin flavorful and nutritious meals, made fresh and with love – always. During your stay, you’ll also enjoy complementary ginger tea, lemon water and fresh fruits.
In the evenings, there is communal dining with a 3-course menu. Mai Pham enables socializing with intelligent conversation about yoga, health and life in general, but there’s also plenty of time for silence. You decide for yourself how much or how little contact you want. If you’re travelling alone, you’ll meet many wonderful new people – you’ll never feel alone.
Soft Hatha, Slow Flow & Yin Yoga
Pamper both body and mind with a variety of yogas, including Soft Hatha, Slow Flow and meditative Yin. Beginners can definetely join these yoga classes. All yoga sessions are designed to stimulate and support hips and lower back and increase your well being, both during and after hiking. Yin yoga, the asanas (positions) are conducted at a gentle pace, so you can immerse yourself and find inner peace. Focus will be on your breath while you meditate into in the stretches. Each pose is held for roughly 3-6 minutes. Yin yoga targets the connective tissues and improves flexibility in a sustainable way.
