JOIN US AT SON ERMITÀ - MENORCA
12th-15th October 2026
The Restorative Retreat
Join us for three nights and four days of pure escape at Son Ermità for The Restorative Retreat - an exclusive, luxury experience designed for women in business who are ready to step away from the noise, reconnect with themselves, and surround themselves with inspiring, like-minded women.
With Son Ermità exclusively ours and just six twin bedrooms available, this retreat is intentionally intimate. To begin with, we are inviting guests to reserve a twin room with a friend to join a group of women walking the same path.
DESIGNED WITH YOU IN MIND
Set in a breathtaking private setting, this intimate retreat blends restoration with refinement. Your days will be filled with expert-led movement sessions, immersive sound healing ceremonies, deeply restorative treatments, wild swimming, and moments of stillness designed to help you reset, refocus and feel restored.
As the sun sets, the experience continues with candlelit evenings, beautifully styled tables, and exceptional seasonal menus, thoughtfully curated to celebrate the richness of local ingredients and the rhythm of the island. Every supper is designed to feel special, indulgent, and unforgettable.
SON ERMITÀ
BE RESTORED BY NATURE
Son Ermità is a sanctuary for women who appreciate luxury in its purest expression - where silence is broken only by birdsong, the pace softens, and true privacy is not a rarity but a given. For the Restorative & Rebalancing Retreat, The Collective on Retreat has taken this exceptional Vestige property exclusively. With just six twin rooms, the experience remains intentionally intimate, allowing space for meaningful connection, renewed intention, and the kind of stillness that feels increasingly rare.
Set within an extraordinary 800-hectare private estate in the north of the island, the landscape opens out to far-reaching views across emerald valleys, centuries-old sandstone farm buildings, and the remains of the 10th-century Santa Àgueda castle, with distant glimpses of the sea and the Cavalleria lighthouse on the horizon.
The estate is surrounded by holm oaks, strawberry trees, olive groves and pines, creating a setting that feels both hidden from the world and deeply connected to nature. Inside, the sense of timelessness continues - an effortless dialogue between heritage and interiors that are the epitome of elegance. Every space has been designed to offer deep comfort, where natural materials, muted tones and considered details create rooms that feel at once luxurious, intimate, and utterly restful. Here, style is never overstated, and every corner invites you to linger, breathe, and simply be.
Two secluded beaches, Cala Calderer and Els Alocs, can be reached on foot through the estate or by off-road electric buggy, making every journey part of the experience rather than simply a destination.
“Rustic yet elegant rooms with views of rolling hills and proximity to untouched beaches.” The Times
Son Ermità is not simply somewhere to stay, but somewhere to return to yourself - to breathe more deeply, move more freely, reconnect with intention, and explore wellbeing in its most private and luxurious form, guided by The Collective’s core pillars of restoration, balance and conscious living.

THE YOGA
with Rachael Richards
Rachael Richards is an incredibly experienced yoga teacher, breathwork facilitator. Her teaching is rooted in a deeply embodied, mindful approach that encourages students to tune into their breath, connect with their bodies and return to themselves with gentleness and awareness.
Rachael’s path into wellbeing began after studying at Oxford and then starting an early career as a lawyer. Yoga and breathwork became essential tools for navigating the physical, emotional and mental pressures of a demanding corporate life, ultimately inspiring her to shift direction and create a space where others could access these same benefits.
Rachael draws on a blend of restorative, somatic and breath-led practices. Her teaching balances ease with gentle challenge, effort with spaciousness, and always meets women exactly where they are.
We love her for her calm presence, supportive teaching style and ability to create a truly nurturing environment, women leave feeling more grounded, centred and connected - physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Rachael will guide the yoga and breathwork on this intimate retreat, holding space for experienced yogis and complete beginners, she brings warmth, authenticity and a genuine passion for helping others feel whole again.
THE SOUND
with Gabrielle Anand
Joining us from her home in Mallorca, she will guide you through a deeply intuitive sound ceremony designed to bring you back into connection with your body, your inner wisdom and your creative power.
Blending sound healing, meditation and energetic guidance, this immersive session invites you to soften, release and journey inward. Through the use of healing frequencies and guided practices, Gabrielle creates a nurturing space to quiet the mind, reconnect with the body and access the deeper parts of yourself that are often hidden beneath the noise of everyday life.
Her work is rooted in the belief that we each hold an innate capacity for transformation - and that through sound, stillness and embodied awareness, we can begin to alchemise what we carry and return to a more radiant, grounded version of ourselves.
ENERGY & HEALING
with Mandy Maxted
Mandy is a psychic medium and holistic healer. Her work is heart-led, intuitive, and deeply compassionate, rooted in the belief that spiritual connection, energy healing, and shared spiritual experiences can be profoundly transformative. As a Reiki Master Teacher, Crystal Healer, and experienced practitioner in energy-based therapies, Mandy gently guides others to reconnect with their truth through spirit, healing, and intuitive insight. Known for creating powerful and deeply moving experiences, she has led psychic demonstrations, and healing sessions that leave participants feeling connected, empowered, and aligned.
During the retreat, Mandy will be offering private 1:1 sessions. These unique appointments are bespoke depending on individual needs, and may include Crystal Healing, Reiki, Reflexology, or Tarot, creating a deeply personal experience. These sessions are brilliant for those new to exploring their spirituality, as well as for those wanting to learn more about themselves.
With Mandy currently holding a four-month waiting list for her psychic readings, this is a very special opportunity to experience her work in the magnetic energy of Menorca.
THE SKIN
with Paola Pellegrino
Paola Pellegrino is a modern medicine woman, redefining beauty with a holistic, soul-nourishing approach. Her facials are not just treatments - they are transformative journeys, infused with the profound energy of release and deep relaxation.
Each facial experience is meticulously curated, blending traditional Japanese lifting massage with the subtle power of crystals, cupping, gua sha, Indian head techniques, and Dien Chan reflexology. The result is a deeply restorative, luminous radiance- a true alignment of inner restoration and outer radiance where skin illuminates.
THE ASTROLOGY
with Chelia Batkin
On retreat I will be communicating to you all what’s currently unfolding day by day in the sky. For me, astrology isn’t about fortune-telling or magical thinking. It’s a tool for reading the core archetypes of human consciousness: timeless characters, themes, and storylines that play out universally.
I use it to facilitate honest, reflective conversations about where you are now, what you’re building, and where you’re heading next - often in that liminal space between what has ended and what is yet to begin.
Every planet and star sign represents a force to negotiate with, harness, or sometimes surrender to. Learning to understand the constant, shifting push and pull of these energies, and how they interact with us here on Earth, can become both a psychological and spiritual tool for self-actualisation - and for creating a life that aligns with your values. Often the synchronicities that arise can feel otherworldly.
