I had an incredible stay at Palmaia. From the staff, to the room, restaurants and amenities everything was absolutely amazing. I went by myself and it was very resourcing. Lots of activities such as breathing session, yoga, meditation, gym and spa treatments that are out of this world. The food was terrific and the mocktail list is spectacular. I would recommend without hesitation as a solo traveller, friends or couple. I find it might be a little boring for the kids (depending on your kids!) Enjoy!

Everything was amazing. The staff, the spa, the rituals, the layout etc. it’s wonderfully quiet with some dance options in the evening. Only thing is there should be just a few more meat options for us carnivores. Everything else was bliss
