strength training, TRX or Pilates; more yoga; minimal, vegetarian meals; and
utterly exhausted sleep. With up to 14 guests, everyone gets pushed � hard.
You�ll stay in a restored 17th-century olive farm surrounded by orchards and
terraces with stunning views, where the guest rooms have beamed ceilings, local
art and private bathrooms.
Getting there: fly to Palma. The program runs Sunday to Saturday and is
held from April to June.
