MANDALA DE MASCA TENERIFE
Retreat Experience
Mandala de Masca is a unique retreat center in the Masca Valley, Tenerife, created for people who want to step away from the pace of everyday life, take time for themselves, reconnect with nature and experience the natural beauty of Tenerife.
Surrounded by the dramatic mountains of the Teno Rural Park, our private six-hectare finca offers accommodation, yoga and movement spaces, plant-based food, refreshing bathing spot and peaceful places to simply be.
You can join one of our international retreats or come with your own group and host a retreat at Mandala de Masca.
Canary Island
Mandala de Masca is located on six hectares of private land in the spectacular Masca Valley in the northwest of Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands.
Hidden between the mountains of the Teno Rural Park and surrounded by volcanic landscapes, palms and native vegetation, Masca feels far away from everyday life while still being accessible from Tenerife’s airports and coastal towns.
BE WELCOME
From the moment you pass through the gate of Finca La Pimentera, we want you to feel welcome and at home. We feel blessed to share this beautiful, peaceful and safe environment with you — a green oasis filled with a rich variety of plants, trees and native vegetation, where you can simply be who you are.
Mandala de Masca was created from our love for yoga, nature, healthy food and bringing people together. It is a place to breathe, move, (re)connect and give yourself the time and space that can be difficult to find in everyday life.
OUR INTENTION
Our intention is simple: that you leave Mandala de Masca feeling rested, energized and inspired — with a nourished body, a calm mind, beautiful memories, new connections and more space for yourself.
We hope that your experiences at Mandala de Masca stay with you when you return home, become part of your everyday life and inspire something positive in the people around you.
THE ELEMENTS
Being surrounded by nature is at the heart of the Mandala de Masca experience. Wake up to birds singing in the valley, breathe the clean mountain air, drink fresh water from our own natural spring and watch the light change across the valley landscape and impressive rock formations throughout the day.
During the winter months, you may even be lucky enough to experience the beautiful natural waterfall that occasionally appears right here on our finca, with mountain water finding its way through the landscape towards the ocean.
At night, look up at a sky filled with stars. Surrounded by mountains, silence and open space, it becomes easier to slow down, reconnect with your senses and simply be present.
SURRENDER
Step away from the rush of everyday life. At Mandala de Masca, we invite you to slow down, take time for yourself and let go of whatever you feel ready to let go of.
Allow yourself the space to simply be, to listen, to feel and to make room for whatever may come next.
PRACTICE & LEARN
Every retreat at Mandala de Masca is different, but a daily yoga and meditation practice is always part of the experience. Depending on the time of year, the program and the teachers, your days may also include breathwork, mindfulness, movement, workshops, sound baths, creativity and moments of silence.
Nothing is compulsory. You are always free to listen to yourself and choose what feels right for you. If you need more time and space for yourself, you are completely free to take it. This is your retreat, your me-time.
EXPLORE
Mandala de Masca is surrounded by one of Tenerife’s most spectacular landscapes, with the Teno Rural Park right on our doorstep.
Depending on the time of year and the retreat program, you may have the opportunity to join a guided hike through the Teno Rural Park or the spectacular Masca Gorge.
In your free time, you can explore the surroundings at your own pace, go for a walk, visit the village of Masca or simply enjoy the powerful and almost magical nature of this part of the island.
If you have your own transport, you are of course free to explore the rest of Tenerife and discover everything the island has to offer.
RELAX
There is always somewhere to retreat to. Find a quiet corner overlooking the valley, settle into a hammock with a book that inspires you, or take time to put your thoughts on paper. Wander a little higher up the finca and find your own peaceful spot on one of the garden terraces.
You may also choose to spend some extra time in our beautiful yoga shala, looking out through the enormous avocado trees towards the Masca Valley. Use this time to extend your own yoga practice, to move and dance, to chant, to meditate, or simply to sit in silence and experience the special energy of this beautiful place.
Or maybe you feel like treating yourself to a little extra care with a well-earned massage. Take your time, relax and simply enjoy being looked after.
TASTE
Food is an important part of the Mandala de Masca experience. Our kitchen serves colourful, nourishing plant-based (vegan) and gluten-free meals, prepared from scratch with fresh, wholesome ingredients.
Our international team of female chefs brings flavours, inspiration and influences from different parts of the world into the Mandala kitchen, making every meal a little different.
Whenever possible, we create sweetness naturally, using ingredients such as dates and other fruits. We use seasonal produce from our own finca whenever we can. What we cannot grow ourselves, we try to source locally from Tenerife and the other Canary Islands.
From breakfast after your morning practice to long shared lunches and relaxed dinners, food is also a moment to come together, connect, share stories, inspire each other and simply enjoy. Or, if you prefer, find a private spot and enjoy your meal in silence, surrounded by nature.
Throughout the day, fresh water from our own natural spring is always available, together with refreshing Agua Fresca, a selection of teas and infusions, fresh and dried fruits, and a delicious assortment of nuts. Help yourself whenever you feel like it.
Everything is taken care of, so whether you follow a vegan, plant-based or gluten-free lifestyle, you can simply relax and enjoy your stay without having to worry about finding suitable food.
