This is my third time visiting the property and it lived up to my previous wonderful experiences. The staff are truly amazing and seem to genuinely want their guests to have a lovely time. I had a very bad back during my stay - I tried to postpone my trip but sadly this was not possible. However, the staff and nomadics did their best to ensure I could join in as much as possible, providing a chair for the sessions and adapting so that I could join in. Charlie and his team also went out of their way to make sure that I felt comfortable eating as I am vegan and gluten free - constantly checking in and confirming what I could eat. Overall I had a wonderful stay at this truly special place. I will be back!

First of all the stay was life changing. Although of course this a for profit resort, after a day or two the kindness of the staff and the focus on physical emotional and spiritual well being is so healing, and you may not even really notice until you are back. The place is beautiful and the instructors for the daily classes are top notch. The food is also pretty good for an all inclusive resort as they clearly use nearly all home made ingredients. Also if you want quiet, upgrade to the adults only section. There were a few scheduling issues, so I would just recommend that you not only make your spa reservations ahead of time but also confirm again as soon as you get there. and if it rains reach out to your concierge ahead of time to see if any classes have changed. but also..just relax. I will definitely be going back either alone or with family - beautiful experience.

I couldn't have chosen a better place for my milestone birthday and first solo trip. Palmaia goes beyond luxury with life-changing workshops, personalized spa treatments at Atlantis, and incredible healthy cuisine that never feels like a compromise. The resort's welcoming and helpful team & the atmosphere makes solo travelers feel right at home, balancing private moments with genuine connections. Already planning my return – this was exactly the meaningful celebration I needed.

My Go-To for Recharging – Palmaïa, The House of Aïa Palmaïa is my ultimate reset button—I’m on my third visit, and it just keeps getting better. The stunning beachfront, plant-based food, and incredible wellness programs (yoga, sound healing, and more) are exactly what I need to recharge. Every time I leave, I feel transformed, centered, and ready to take on life again. If you need a place to truly reconnect with yourself, this is it. Absolute magic!
