It's then around a 45-minute cab journey to the retreat centre (costing around 50euro each way, but Bex can put you in touch with other retreaters to buddy up and split cost). Alternatively, you could take the scenic route: grab the bus from the airport (for only 8 euro) and travel across the island to Ciutadella (approx. 90 min journey). From there our retreat hosts will offer free transfers to Poblado Corazon.

WANT TO JOIN?

Poblado Corazon was specifically chosen as this retreat venue for it's intimate, rural nature, meaning it's going to be a super special and close experience. That of course however, means space is limited, and there is only space for a maximum of 10 people. Therefore, please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’d like to join.
