Mandala feels multi-purposeful. If you need a breathing space to gather your thoughts, a space to expand, write or rest, a yoga shala or creative space, or simply a holiday, consider Mandala House a place to pause for a while.
Space to write
There are countless desks at Mandala — in rooms, the Olive Press, and the garden. Find yourself a peaceful, shady, or sunny corner and invite the muse. Read, write, and be inspired. Creativity takes time, and here you’re welcome to expand your love affair with words.
Space to relax
Our sunrise view is breathtaking — sunlight breaking through the dawn mist. It’s a place to enjoy coffee, quiet time, and space to reflect. Walks radiate from the house and the Arillas trail winds through olive groves down to the sea. Closer to home, you can visit the local church or explore the colourful streets of Magoulades. Whether you're resting, enjoying Arillas, or moving gently, this is a place to recharge.
Space to gather
Step into the beauty of the Olive Press - a space that inspires connection, creativity, and collaboration. This sanctuary is ideal for small gatherings, intimate workshops, and transformative events. Whether you’re hosting a workshop, leading a class or simply gathering with kindred spirits, the Olive Press invites silence, meaningful connection, and creative breakthroughs.

Space to create
If you’re craving creative space, Mandala offers artist residencies starting at around €450 per week. We can include meals, airport pickup, grocery runs, or trips to inspiring places. Bring your book, paints, music or movement — and we’ll make space for your process. There’s an easel waiting, and the muses of beauty and peace are your housemates here.
Space to heal
Originally built by a doctor, Mandala still holds healing energy — old journals, apothecary bottles, and a gentle sense of care. We’re inviting yoga teachers, therapists, and bodyworkers to offer sessions here.The courtyard pharmacy room is available for massage or therapeutic sessions. If you're a healer or space holder, get in touch about sharing your gifts here.
Space to learn
Mandala is a private, respectful space — warm, welcoming, and quietly permissive. Nudity is better kept to the beach, and we kindly ask that guests are mindful of neighbours and parking. Ali is a certified Sexological Bodyworker and offers sessions around conscious touch and intimacy. In 2025, we’re hosting events around sensuality, consent, and creativity.
