WHAT TO EXPECT

We will start each day in movement with a pilates class led by Alice. Before each class we will serve coffee/tea and a light snack, and after the class we will recharge with a big and nourishing brunch together. 

After brunch there will be some time to enjoy our lovely villa, the area, or to relax by the pool. Potential excursions include going on a hike together to one of the beautiful calas, or to visit neighbouring Deià. 

Late afternoon we will meet on the mat again for another sweaty and fun pilates class. And one of these days Elin will guide us through a restorative and lovely yin practice instead. 

During the evening we will enjoy a fresh and home cooked dinner together in the villa prepared by our private chef, with the exception of one evening where we will visit one of the many great restaurants in the area. 

It will be a week full of nourishment and movement, and as always - expect surprises in true bonanza spirit!

THE VILLA

Yes, this might be our most idyllic Bonanza location yet. 

Located just south of the special village Deià, our home for the retreat is a beautiful historic monastery set on the top of a hill, with stunning mountain and sea views. Surrounded by ancient olive groves and cute sheep, we couldn't think of a better place for our very first pilates pop up.

The big rustic property offers big al fresco dining tables (si - a must for our bonanza dinners), a beautiful swimming pool with sea view to enjoy in-between pilates sessions. The pilates studio itself is one of our favourite spaces; located at the top of the building, it's airy and bright with views of the stunning nature. In the villa you'll also find a lovely reading space overlooking the mountains, a big terrace, and garden lounges where you can relax with a book or journal, just to name a few. 

The house offers three different room options tailored to suit your needs. All rooms are characterised by their bright, rustic, serene and boutique interior - making them the perfect space to reset and rest in-between activities.

PILATES

Alice Pilate is a Paris based instructor with a practice that is all about empowering transformation through mindful movement.

The classes are designed to be modern, dynamic and fun. There are no previous skills needed to start the journey, and all the classes are created and tailored for beginner to advanced practitioners.

By working with different blocs of exercises, different muscle groups will be targeted deeply. During the practice we mostly use our own body weight, but a variety of props will also be used to challenge the body further. 

Always in the best mood and with a great playlist, Alice will be there to challenge and motivate you to make sure you leave the island feeling strong in both your mind and body. 

We'll start and end the week with a pilates class, and during the full days on the island we will be practicing twice a day. So get ready to sweat and have fun!

CUISINE

A big part of the Bonanza experience is our love for sharing food, drinks and stories around a big table together. For our next pop up retreat we've invited a private Mallorcan chef that will treat us to home cooked, colourful and delicious meals in the beautiful villa.

Our Mallorca retreat will be characterised by the incredible produce that the island has to offer; think meals made from scratch with local, seasonal and fresh ingredients that are both nourishing, nurturing and wholesome at the same time.

During the week you will enjoy a light breakfast before our morning class, followed by a post pilates big and filling brunch. After our siesta, afternoon coffee/tea and snacks will be served to energise you before the afternoon class.

For dinners, most nights we'll enjoy delicious home cooked feasts in the villa. Our favourite moments are mingling together before and during dinner, while watching the sun set over the ocean from one of the big alfresco tables. One night we'll head to one of the surrounding towns for a dinner out to a local restaurant, and a chance to explore the neighbourhood.

Note that we always make sure to tailor all meals after dietary requirements.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

In between pilates sessions we'll enjoy the serene beauty of Mallorca's nature. 

Our stunning home for the week offers the perfect space to rest and rejuvenate in your spare time. Here you can book a massage, relax with a book in one of the many garden lounges, swim in the pool, or enjoy a siesta inside the serene walls of the villa. 

For those with extra energy - we’re perfectly located for a run or hike to explore the surrounding nature and mountains, or to visit the idyllic calas to cool down in the clear Mediterranean sea. 

For more cultural ventures you can stroll around one of the charming local villages (such as Deià, Valdemossa and Soller), visit cute boutiques and cafés, or simply take in the beautiful scenery of the surroundings.
