Gran Meliá De Mar is one of the best hotels in Palma and it was specially picked because of the beautiful look of nature that surrounds it, with rolling grassy hills and pine trees found near the sea. The hotel will be exclusive for this event only. Everyone is there for the same reason you are!
Every room comes with an amazing sea view. It is a five-star hotel and is one of the best on the island. Standard rooms come with large bathtubs with a choice of king-sized or two single beds. In addition, each room has an outdoor terrace with loungers.
There are two swimming pools - the yin pool on the east side and yang pool on the west.
Program
With multiple rooms and spaces indoors and outdoors for yoga and other workshops, classes will be going on all day and night. You can jump in and out at your convenience. It offers free-range experience and will not feel crowded given the space and the ticket limit. There will be no cues, but there will be plenty of places to find a lounger to soak up some sun.
