COASTAL REVERIE
We’re checking all the boxes that feed the soul—movement and physical vitality, artistic expression, intentional living, connection to nature, and indulgence in exceptional food and drink. From sunrise yoga overlooking the sea to curated experiences like guided coastal hikes with a farm picnic, a dreamy afternoon aboard a luxury catamaran, and a wine tasting day complete with paella and conversation with local winemakers, this retreat is a celebration of beauty, culture, and connection. We’ll explore nearby villages filled with open-air markets and artisan boutiques, and take part in a private workshop with a world-renowned ceramicist who resides on property. In the evenings, we’ll ease into golden hour with craft cocktails before gathering for unforgettable dinners prepared by celebrated regional chefs—moments to savor, connect, and come alive.
OUR HOTEL
FOR THE WEEK
We’re thrilled to host our 2026 Mallorca retreat at La Residencia, a Belmond Hotel—a five-star haven perched between the sea and mountains in the storybook village of Deià. Once beloved by Princess Diana, this iconic property is known for its deep connection to the arts, lush terraced gardens, and panoramic views of the Tramuntana range. With art-filled suites featuring private terraces, a world-class spa tucked among olive trees, and three exquisite restaurants offering Michelin-level dining, La Residencia blends historic charm with barefoot luxury. Guests enjoy a serene fitness pavilion, tennis courts, and easy access to Deià’s vibrant cultural scene—all just steps away, yet blissfully secluded.

DAILY ITINERARY
A Mallorcan Dreamscape
A sample itinerary—subject to slight changes as the magic unfolds.
-
DAY 1
Arrival & Sunset Welcome
Settle into paradise. After check-in, unwind at your own pace and meet us on the green lawn as golden hour falls over Deià. Enjoy craft cocktails, local canapés, and live music beneath the olive trees. As night sets in, we’ll dine together at Tramuntana Grill, one of La Residencia’s most scenic restaurants—a perfect introduction to the flavors of the island.
-
DAY 2
Coastal Trails & Hidden Picnic
Wake to the golden light of Mallorca and begin your day with a grounding yoga practice overlooking the Mediterranean, the Tramuntana mountains at your back. After breakfast, we’ll embark on a breathtaking guided hike along the Cami de Pintors, an iconic cliffside trail once walked by poets and painters. Our hike ends in a secluded location where a traditional Mallorcan picnic awaits—exclusive, authentic, and unforgettable. Tonight, we’ll gather at Café Miró, a charming restaurant filled with local art, for a warm, elegant dinner.
-
Day 3
Seas the Day
Begin the morning with your choice of energizing yoga, a HIIT class, or both, followed by a leisurely breakfast on property. After breakfast, we’ll head out for a spectacular coastal boat excursion (subject to a 17 person attendance), sailing along Mallorca’s dramatic shoreline with time to swim, soak in the views, and enjoy a relaxed onboard spread as the day unfolds on the water.
The evening is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Wander the charming village of Deià for dinner, or have the Belmond arrange a transfer to a nearby village for a memorable night out.
Here’s a lovely restaurant guide with some great restaurant recommendations. My personal favorite is Balm in Deià—it’s just a short walk from the hotel.
-
DAY 4
Roam & Restore
We’ll begin the day with an energizing morning yoga practice. Afterward, the morning is yours to enjoy — it’s market day in the village, so feel free to wander the stalls, go for a hike, visit the spa, or venture over to the adorable village of Sollier and Port Sollier.
In the afternoon, you’re invited to an optional vagus nerve toning session led by Libby, a wonderful local therapist from Deià.
In the evening, we’ll come together for dinner at the acclaimed Sebastian restaurant, just a short walk from the hotel.
-
DAY 5
Move, Taste, Celebrate
On our final day together, you’ll have the option to start the morning with an energizing HIIT class, a grounding yoga session — or both — followed by a leisurely breakfast on property.
Later, we’ll rejoin as a group for a visit to one of the island’s most charming villages, Valldemossa. Enjoy time to wander the cobblestone streets and browse local boutiques before meeting in the heart of the village for a hands-on paella cooking class, paired with a curated wine tasting from the beloved Ava Vi.
Tonight, we’ll gather for sunset cocktails, music, and celebration on the Mirador Terrace, then make our way to El Olivo for a Michelin-starred farewell dinner — a beautiful closing to our week together. 🤍
-
DAY 6
Soft Goodbyes
Wake slowly and savor your final Mallorcan breakfast—coffee in hand, mountain views in sight. Whether you're heading home or off to your next adventure, you’ll leave with a nourished body, a full heart, and a deep sense of connection. While the retreat may end, the community we’ve created will carry on.

Meet Your Host
After 15 years in corporate leadership—while teaching yoga, coaching speakers, and building community-rooted nonprofits—I felt called to bring it all together. That’s how LDW Coaching & Retreats began.
These retreats are thoughtfully designed to offer more than just a beautiful escape—they’re a return to what matters most. Rooted in presence, beauty, and connection, they create space for rest, growth, and meaningful community.
Whether we’re flowing on a yoga mat, sharing a meal, or watching the sun set over the Mediterranean, my hope is simple: that you leave feeling more grounded, more connected, and more yourself.

THE FAQS
-
The EU is introducing a new travel authorization system called ETIAS for visa-free travelers (including U.S. citizens). ETIAS is not yet in operation but is expected to begin in late 2026, and the EU will announce the exact start date in advance. I will set a reminder to check for updates on July 1st and will share anything new with the group, but I also recommend setting your own reminder, as this trip may fall around the time the requirement goes into effect.
If ETIAS is required at the time of our trip, apply only through the official EU site:
https://travel-europe.europa.eu/en/etiasWhat to expect if ETIAS is required:
Short online application
Have your passport, email, and payment card ready
Answer a few travel/security questions
Receive approval by email
As always, please check official government sites for the most current travel requirements before your trip.

Extended Stays at La Residencia
If you’re visiting this section for the first time, unfortunately the window to reserve an extended stay room at our group-discounted rate has passed. The deadline to book at those rates was November 15, and two reminder emails were sent ahead of that date.
That said, the team at La Residencia is more than happy to accommodate early arrivals or late departures at the best available rate they can extend at the time of booking. Availability is limited, and the hotel is filling quickly — the closer we get to the retreat dates, the higher nightly rates tend to be — so the sooner you reach out, the better.
How to request an early arrival or late stay:
Email inma.martin@belmond.com directly
Reference “LDW Retreat” in your message
Specify the room type you originally booked for the retreat (Superior, Deluxe, Grand Deluxe, or Executive Suite), as internal room names differ slightly
If you’re not sure which room category you booked, feel free to email or text me anytime and I’m happy to remind you 🙂.
If you’re considering extending your time in Mallorca, I strongly recommend reaching out to the hotel as soon as possible.
-
All guests should fly into Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI), the island’s main international airport. From there, La Residencia, a Belmond Hotel, is approximately 40–45 minutes by car.
The hotel is happy to arrange private transfers upon request, or you can easily call a local taxi or request an Uber upon arrival. Once on the road, enjoy a scenic drive through Mallorca’s countryside as you make your way to the enchanting village of Deià.
Contact concierge.lrs@belmond.com to make your reservation. -
In the last week of September, Mallorca experiences warm and pleasant weather, ideal for beach outings and outdoor activities. Daytime highs typically range from 78°F to 80°F (25°C to 27°C), while nighttime lows are around 60°F to 62°F (16°C to 17°C). The sea remains inviting, with temperatures averaging 75°F (24°C), making it comfortable for swimming. Rainfall is minimal, with occasional light showers, and the island enjoys approximately 8 hours of sunshine per day. Humidity levels are moderate, contributing to the overall comfort during this period.
-
Pack with ease and intention. You’ll want comfortable layers for yoga and movement, activewear for hikes and excursions, a swimsuit and cover-up for the boat day, and relaxed-yet-elevated outfits for evenings out. Think breathable fabrics by day and effortless elegance by night. A light jacket or wrap is recommended for cooler mountain evenings, and comfortable walking shoes are a must. Don’t forget your essentials—sun protection, a good book, and anything that helps you feel grounded and at ease.
-
We’ve put together a curated list of lovely restaurant options for your free evening. My personal favorite is Balm in Deià—it’s just a short walk from the hotel, but it’s very small, so I highly recommend making reservations in advance.
This attached guide includes recommendations by location, along with a few Michelin-star options if you’d like to plan a special night out.
As a reminder, we’ll be dining together at Sebastian on Wednesday and El Olivo on Thursday, so there’s no need to book those two.
If you’d like help securing reservations, the La Residencia team is wonderful—just email francesco.trevisan@belmond.com and mention you’re part of the LDW Luxury Wellness Retreat.

-
For the comfort and peace of mind of all guests, travel insurance is required to attend this retreat.
