Mahi Wellbeing Retreat, Malta
Sunday 3rd to Thursday 7th November 2024
With 300 days of sunshine a year, this idyllic Mediterranean isle is a perfect destination to retreat from the winter blues and create space for personal development. That can mean whatever you want it to mean – physical rejuvenation, healing, empowerment, discovery and growth. Or all the above.
The daily programme starts with yoga at sunrise for those who like an early start and includes many different options to either fill the day or chill. There’s a mix of exercise classes for the fit and not so fit, walks through the surrounding countryside, coaching for success and wellbeing and deep, meaningful rest. Whatever your purpose or goals, the aim is to return home in better health with a higher level of optimism and resourcefulness.
You’ll be nourished by a delicious menu of local produce, prepared by our resident chef and can pamper yourself in the spa.
There’s massage and one to one personal therapy available. Trips to the historic towns of Malta are also on offer or you can stay at home away from home and immerse yourself in the retreat experience.

Accommodation
Some of these luxurious rooms have balconies, stunning sea views and gorgeous marble bathrooms. Most are doubles and available for single occupancy. There’s one room with four single beds and some of the doubles have sofa beds. We’re not filling the property to capacity so there’s plenty of space for privacy or to share your time with other guests.
Stylishly furnished, the villa is a relaxing sanctuary with all the home comforts and more. Classes will be indoors or out, depending on weather conditions, and the indoor pool and hot tub overlook the scenic coastline. The benefits of an outdoor dip are just a few steps away with the choice of the sea or rooftop infinity pool.
Cuisine
The retreat is fully catered with delicious, locally sourced produce to cleanse and nourish. Tea, coffee, water and juices are provided. A lean breakfast of juices, smoothies and fruit will be followed by a buddha bowl lunch and a gourmet evening meal prepared by our resident chef.
