I had an incredible stay at Palmaia. From the staff, to the room, restaurants and amenities everything was absolutely amazing. I went by myself and it was very resourcing. Lots of activities such as breathing session, yoga, meditation, gym and spa treatments that are out of this world. The food was terrific and the mocktail list is spectacular. I would recommend without hesitation as a solo traveller, friends or couple. I find it might be a little boring for the kids (depending on your kids!) Enjoy!

Voy a ser claro desde el principio: no soy vegetariano, ni practico yoga todos los días, y llegué a Palmaïa con cierta curiosidad, pero también con escepticismo. Y me fui completamente transformado. Este lugar tiene algo especial. No solo es hermoso (porque lo es, en todos los sentidos), sino que se siente auténtico, intencional y profundamente humano. Todo está pensado para invitarte a bajar el ritmo, respirar, y disfrutar sin excesos. La comida fue una sorpresa absoluta. Aunque la mayoría de la propuesta es plant-based, el sabor, la creatividad y la calidad son espectaculares. Como alguien que disfruta un buen corte de carne, puedo decir que si extrañé la carne pero me sorprendieron. Tienen también opciones con proteína animal si lo deseas, pero me encontré disfrutando platos veganos que jamás pensaría pedir. (Aunque si podría haber más opciones con proteína animal) El programa de bienestar no es algo impostado. Hay rituales, clases, experiencias de sanación… pero sin presión. Lo haces si quieres. Yo me animé a probar la ceremonia del cacao y yoga. El servicio es cálido y sin pretensiones. El servicio de playa es bueno (depende de quien sea tu anfitrión… Emilio muy buena persona) Y como olvidar el carrito de tacos … aunque vegetarianos top! Y Reyes hizo la diferencia! Palmaïa no es un resort, es una experiencia. Incluso si no encajas en el “perfil wellness”, aquí vas a encontrar algo diferente.

Wonderful Palmaya Getaway! Our recent vacation in Palmaya was truly lovely, largely thanks to this exceptional hotel. The services were consistently excellent, and we were so impressed by the friendly and polite staff who made us feel incredibly welcome. The balanced, plant-based food was a delightful surprise, always fresh and delicious. We especially enjoyed the beach bar, which offered a wonderfully friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Argenis, the bartender, deserves a special mention for his professionalism. He possesses a remarkable talent for mixing well-balanced cocktails that are both delicious and beautifully presented. He also thoughtfully prepared a special tea for us. We had a great time and highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Palmaya.!
