Our Extended guide to wellness, healthy eating and maintaining a peaceful body and spirit while staying in StayCatalina.

Traveling for countless hours to distant shores in order to indulge yoga retreats or Ayurvedic treatments is no longer necessary. Why not treat yourself while spending a week or more in Santa Catalina, where you can combine healthy holistic living and Mediterranean indulgences within a vibrant cosmopolitan city just two hours away from most major northern European airports.

StayCatalina offers you a perfect base for you to enjoy a relaxed and revitalizing break. Our apartments are soothingly styled following the major principles of Feng-Shui. Our king sized beds are soft but firm, and our quiet street location together with the rear orientation of our bedrooms ensures a restful evening’s sleep.

Add to that the 300 average days of sunshine a year, the invigorating sea breeze and the warmer climes of the Mediterranean and you are immediately feeling the weight lift off your shoulders.

More specifically, Santa Catalina has lately become Palma’s centre for Health, Organic and Vegan food stores, as well as having a large array of holistic lifestyle and alternative medicine professionals, with international studies and references. We have tried and collected some local addresses which we can recommend:

Food shops and stalls:
EcoIlla stall in Santa Catalina Market: 100% organic produce stall in Santa Catalina Market, including an organic meat counter.
Loveat in Calle Fabrica, Soria Natural on Calle Cotoner and LoVegano on Calle Cotoner have created a health food triangle in this intersection, all located 20m away from each other.
Herboristería Maria Antonia Bergas, a traditional herb shop just by the market was established in 1900. You will find many traditional herbal remedies.
