HELLO MALLORCA!

Mallorca is a captivating Mediterranean island that blends natural beauty, culture, and vibrant island life. From turquoise coves and golden beaches to charming mountain villages and the lively capital of Palma, there is something here for every kind of traveller. Warm hospitality, incredible local cuisine, and the island’s striking contrasts — from coastal escapes to the dramatic Tramuntana Mountains — make Mallorca an unforgettable destination. Whether you’re here to unwind by the sea, explore scenic trails, or immerse yourself in Spanish culture, Mallorca offers a travel experience that feels both energizing and effortlessly relaxed.

Each year, visitors from around the globe are drawn to its expansive coastlines—a mosaic of sandy beaches, hidden creeks, and secluded turquoise coves. Beyond the shore, the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana mountains dominate the west, offering winding roads that lead to charming villages and panoramic viewpoints.

This beautiful island is waiting for you – are you ready?

Son Boronat

Established in 1645

Son Boronat boasts a rich heritage, standing as one of the region’s oldest fincas. With a storied past and breathtaking views, it’s an ideal destination for a unique stay. Surrounded by serene landscapes, Son Boronat offers a tranquil environment, inviting you to immerse yourself in beauty. Welcome to a place where history meets enchantment. We look forward to hosting you in this haven of serenity.

Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Calvìa, just a short 20-minute drive from Palma and 10 minutes from Santa Ponsa, this charming little finca hotel blends rustic heritage with modern comfort and is a true gem.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the UNESCO heritage Serra de Tramuntana, Son Boronat invites you to immerse yourself in the tranquility of its large and mystical terraced garden. Discover private nooks to relax and unwind, and take a refreshing dip in our inviting pool—all surrounded by 70,000 m2 of predominantly forested land. Among the treasures within, you’ll find Mallorca’s oldest pine tree, believed to be blessed by a monk from India, and an archaeological site with caves nestled into the mountain wall.

Come experience the magic of Son Boronat, where history meets hospitality, and every moment is crafted with care. We look forward to creating unforgettable memories with you.

NOURISH YOURSELF

At Son Boronat, every meal is a celebration of the island’s vibrant seasons. Our in-house chef prepares wholesome meals designed to sustain your energy throughout your practice while delighting the senses. Sourced from local farmers, the menu features organic, market-fresh ingredients that reflect the authentic flavors of Mallorca.

The Morning Buffet:
After your sunrise practice, gather for a leisurely breakfast on the patio. Enjoy home-baked breads, artisanal cheeses, and fresh seasonal fruits, paired with made-to-order eggs and freshly pressed juices.

Lunch & Refreshments
Midday meals focus on vitality, offering colorful grain bowls, crisp salads, and light, nourishing bites to keep you feeling clear and grounded.

Evening Dinners:
As the sun sets over the valley, we come together for unhurried dinners in the historic 16th-century courtyard. From rustic Mediterranean stews to “life-changing” local almond cake, these meals are crafted with love and served in an atmosphere of quiet connection.

YOGA

At the heart of Son Boronat is our indoor yoga shala—a warm, spacious room designed for presence, practice, and connection.

The shala features wooden floors, soft lighting, and large windows that welcome in natural light and stillness.

The yoga shala is equipped with yoga mats, bolsters, blocks, blankets, straps, and wool mats.

Step off the mat and into the heart of the UNESCO-protected Serra de Tramuntana mountains, an invitation to connect with the island’s ancient history and rugged natural beauty.

TESTIMONIALS

In a word, Nova Yoga Retreats are delicious! Melanie and her co-leaders hold space beautifully, guiding the group through yoga and meditation practices and “off campus” excursions with gentle mastery. You can show up and know that everything has been taken care of. Her groups are always welcoming; I attended two retreats solo and left both with amazing friends. Melanie chooses retreat locations with natural and artistic beauty and most importantly–soul. Her love of travel and exploring new cultures adds so much to the experience. Last, but not least, the food and accomodations are always a delight!

Claire - 3 time retreat participant

It felt like a true escape from my normal life. I feel like I was able to connect to the area and the people who journeyed with me. Your ability to curate a safe space to be and a place to play for people is truly a gift, Melanie. Thank you.

SJM

I can’t recommend Nova Yoga’s retreats highly enough. Melanie put together an amazing week that stretched our bodies and our minds, and left both stronger and more restored. This experience was much more than “just” yoga — it was truly a reset physically and mentally, and a wonderful opportunity to restore and refresh alongside amazing and kind women.

Amy G. - Chicago

From the moment I arrived, I knew it would be a transformative journey. Each class left me relaxed and rejuvenated. This, along with amazing food and people, made for an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect yoga getaway.

Cindy M.

I felt supported and was able to turn off my internal dialogue for the week and be fully present. I felt at ease. The yoga was everything I needed and more, thank you for sharing your gift to guide and to hold space in such a beautiful way. Thank you for a life changing week Melanie.

A.M.

The Nova Yoga Retreat an amazing experience! The instructors created a very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. I’m not sure I’ve ever been more relaxed than I was during this retreat. I challenged myself both physically and mentally and I felt stronger in both ways by the end of the week. I made new friends, learned new yoga skills, breathed in the epic beauty of the countryside and really enjoyed the excursions! A beautiful country and yoga retreat experienced with an amazing group of strong, vibrant women! I can’t wait to plan my next trip with Nova Yoga Retreats.

Amy F.

Melanie finds the best places and brings together the most amazing people.

Steph P.

Melanie has created a unique and magical experience that allows people of all ages to deepen their yoga practice in beautiful and comfortable locations. Mel makes you feel safe, able, and confident. She offers opportunities to modify all poses to accommodate your body. Her suggestions and “challenges” allow for growth in both body and mind. You leave the retreat feeling empowered and refreshed. I just returned from my second retreat with her, and am looking forward to planning my next one. Absolutely amazing experiences.

Jeanna Newton

I have been doing yoga for more than 20 years and I highly recommend Melanie’s yoga retreat! She selects amazing environments to do yoga so that your experience is enhanced by nature and your surroundings. Whether you are new to yoga or experienced, Melanie’s instruction is inspiring, informative and you will come away better at yoga, relaxed and with more internal and external strength. I plan to do another one of her yoga retreats in the future.

Jen R., Ottawa, Canada

I love the opportunity to get away from the tourist areas and get to know the local scene. The food was fabulous, staff and accommodations were excellent. The yoga was wonderfully therapeutic. And I really enjoyed getting to know the group. This was a wonderful experience for me and my first time travelling as a single. It gave me the confidence to try it again.

P.P.

Melanie is the most incredible yoga instructor. Her retreats are absolutely amazing. A magical experience of a lifetime. If you haven’t done one of her retreats, you are really missing out!

Heather

The retreat well exceeded my expectations. In particular, your approach to practice, and your energy made my week incredibly positive. I learned a ton – you are clearly an expert in your field and an outstanding communicator so you made it clear and easy for me to understand your instruction. I loved every minute and am eagerly waiting for my next retreat with you.

J.M.

From the retreat lodgings to the food to the excursions and of course yoga for all levels and styles, it was a travel highlight of my life!

@shanincanada

Highly ecommend this enriching yoga retreat experience. This was my second time attending a Nova Retreat, and I’m already looking forward to returning. It’s a truly enriching experience—an opportunity to step away from the busyness of everyday life and reconnect through yoga, mindfulness, and a warm, supportive community. The setting in Marrakesh adds a unique and magical dimension to the retreat. The culture, the atmosphere, and the beauty of the surroundings make it an unforgettable place to recharge. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone seeking rest, renewal, and inspiration to take this time for themselves—you won’t regret it.

Anita R.

I met some incredible people, ate some amazing food, and deepened my yoga practice. The tranquility and grounding was just what I needed. I would highly recommend Mel’s retreats for both the inexperienced and experienced traveller because you can really cater to what you want and need, and you will meet similar people with whom you can enjoy the journey.
