A rare opportunity for a yoga holiday that incorporates 'Mysore Style' Astanga Yoga . The group size is deliberately kept small (maximum 8)  for maximum benefit to the yoga students.

We are in a nature reserve close to the fishing village of Es Grau , Mahon harbour and town centre is a 10 minute drive. The whole island is just 32 miles long by 12 miles wide so nothing is very far away.

Come and relax and be inspired away from it all whilst enjoying the most unspoilt of the Balearic Islands

Situated just 10 minutes drive from Mahon town centre and 5 minutes from the nearest beach, our location is perfect for the unique combination of yoga/walking/swimming and chilling!

Our accommodation is in a luxury villa with its own private pool situated within one of the Mediterranean’s largest protected sites of natural beauty.

The fresh water S'Albufera lake is a short walk away and has many visiting migrating birds en-route to Africa.

We are situated in a nature reserve just a five minute drive from the lovely fishing village of Es Grau with its beautiful beach and shallow friendly waters. Here there is a beach bar nestling beneath trees and a further bar/restaurant with decking over the water. Nearby is a small supermarket.

Mahon harbour is a ten minute drive and offers a variety of restaurants and bars, our location is perfect for the unique combination of yoga/walking/swimming and chilling!

We have a communal hire car included in the price of your holiday, so that you can get out and about and explore, Menorca has a wealth of beaches to explore nearby and beyond and being a small island all are less than an hours drive away.
