The name itself promises a special place in the rural heart of Mallorca: Cal Reiet means "house of the little king." Hosts Petra and Henning Bensland have lovingly restored the estate built in 1881 on the outskirts of Santanyí and transformed it into a stylish retreat. However, the focus is more on inner values, as every visitor can experience their own transformation: "At Cal Reiet Holistic Retreat, it's about mindfulness and genuine connections," emphasizes yoga teacher Petra Bensland.
Additionally, the house focuses on holistic nutrition, so only vegetarian and vegan dishes made from predominantly seasonal, regional products are on the menu. The boutique hotel also offers year-round yoga programs and individual spa treatments. Multi-day retreats focusing on yoga, meditation, and mindfulness also take place. For example, 108Impulse - Purify.Relax.Recalibrate. Be - Reconnect your Body, Mind, and Soul with Karla Lüderitz (21.10 - 25.10.2025). Information: Cal Reiet
