I live in an old finca, out in the vineyards and olive groves, to the east of Mallorca.
It is 40 minutes from the airport and 20 minutes from the coast.
The finca sits on a little rise, at the border of two shires: Manacor & Felanitx.
The 13th century coat of arms for these shires are of a hand holding a heart,
and a golden chalice containing a rising sun.
Both are carved on either side of a stone on the track that leads to the house.
The finca and garden is charming, imperfect, in process, and peace full.
It’s where I take refuge, recharge, write, draw, cook, and tend my garden.
Here, I offer bespoke, one on one, private retreats.
Retreats are anywhere between 1 and 10 nights.
Before booking your retreat, I will organise a video conversation for us both,
to share the various healing modalities I work with, to understand your needs, answer any questions you have,
to set expectations and make sure we are in a comfortable harmony with each other.
In addition to the treatments I offer, I can organise sessions of breath-work, yoga, sound baths,
numerology and card reading with practitioners on the island, as well as guided walks and horse riding.
If you would like to have a beach day together,
I can also organise a treatment for you, beside the sea, under a shade in the sunshine,
with great music and simple, fresh food.
For the rest of the day you are free to enjoy the house, art studio and garden;
to rest, read, draw, sleep, sunbathe etc.
or travel to the beach, discover the villages in the interior of Mallorca and mountain trails to the north.
It’s a beautiful island.
Outside of giving you treatments, I will be working in the garden or studio
and will be leaving you to enjoy yourself and your time in whatever way suits you.
This is not a holiday with Louka; it is your time, for your Self, at my home.
I would like to share the space I have created with you,
for you to feel at ease, to relax deeply in nature, and heal.
On each retreat you will be cooked a simple and delicious brunch and dinner
or I can support you in learning how to fast.
I can also recommend a selection of restaurants in the area, of varying price ranges
if you feel like getting out of the house.
Unless you wish to have complete rest, you will need to hire a car for your stay.
The finca is in the middle of the vineyards 5 minutes from Felanitx
and if you want to have freedom to discover the island, it is essential.
I will send you an exact location when you book your stay.
A 1 night retreat with full board and a 3 hour treatment,
arriving at noon and departing the following day at noon is 950€
A three night full board retreat,
including two, 2hr treatments is 1800€
Longer retreats of up to 10 days are available and priced according to curation.
"Louka offers a rare and unique retreat experience that is at once intimate and spacious.
A place in which one can settle and be without pressure to perform, entertain or achieve;
a space in which one can rest, recuperate, contemplate and muse without necessarily producing or presenting.
A space-time in which the body and being can arrive and progressively relax,
deepening successively into a state of openness and presence.
Beauty, simplicity and artistry are ever present in Louka’s home,
allowing the heart and soul to be nourished simply by resting in the surroundings.
Whether it be the day beds nestled or suspended in his enchanted garden,
the sacred geometry woven discreetly into the contours of his land,
the tasteful and noble materials chosen for bedding and soft furnishings,
there is natural style and aesthetic sensibility everywhere, without being overstated.
Natural rhythms and personal needs are fully taken into account in the unfolding of one’s stay,
making for a bespoke retreat of deep, sustainable nourishment and regeneration.
I can truly recommend this retreat for the discerning and mature traveller
who wishes to experience a moment of profound (re) connection, of soulful home coming,
of creative and energetic reset, or simply of ever-deepening peace and allowing."
