The week is built around two movement sessions a day. Pilates runs from 9:00 to 10:30 each morning, after a cup of hot lemon water or herbal tea at 8:30. Brunch follows at 11:00, so you train on a light stomach and eat properly afterwards. In the late afternoon, from 16:30 to 18:00, there's a second session that combines Pilates with yoga. Across the week, functional fitness and breathwork are worked into these classes.

The four hours between noon and 16:00 are open. Some days there's a group hike or walk through the hills above Deià, which are some of the best walking country on the island, with terraced olive groves and paths along the Tramuntana coast. Massages are available in 60 or 90-minute slots at extra cost, and there are also optional extra Pilates sessions. Plenty of people just spend the afternoon at the pool. A healthy snack comes out at 16:00, before the evening class.

Evenings are quiet. Dinner runs from 19:00 to 20:30, then there's an hour of personal development workshops until 21:30. Sound healing and reiki sessions are also offered during the week, along with a manifestation workshop where you sit down and write out your goals.

The venue is a big part of this retreat. Instead of a modern hotel, you stay in a 13th-century monastery on a mountainside, with old olive trees around it and the sea below. Deià itself is a small stone village known for its artists and writers. It's a short walk or drive to Cala de Deià, a rocky little cove for swimming.

The lead teacher is Saara Lindbohm, who leads the Pilates and yoga sessions. The retreat needs at least 8 people to run, so groups stay small and everyone gets noticed in class. The 2026 edition (18-23 September) sold out, and there's a waitlist in case a spot opens up.
