We went to Mallorca in ‘off-season’ but managed to find this activity. It was an amazing experience and our activity leader Aby was really informative and professional but still made it fun for the group. I definitely recommend this activity for both the winter season and summer season.

Loved this trip . Went with my family and we are left very happy with the experience and with the guide on board ! He was funny and interactive and spoke many languages . I would recommend this trip it’s worth the money when you visit Mallorca !

If you are looking for relaxation, this is the place for you! Few people, very calm vibes, perfect atmosphere to clear your head. You can choose between three intensities for the massage.

Super great experience!! I recommend it to everyone and anyone. Amazing cooking tips as well as some of the best food I’ve ever had in Europe! Top quality ingredients and instruction.

Enjoyed the visit. Lots to see. Very informative. Helpful staff. Some seats for elderly people would be advantageous.
