about us

 bodhana’s philosophy and mission

for over 25 years bodhana has been offering a wide range of therapeutical & holistic massages in mallorca, in our wellness centres at Puerto Portals and Illetas Beach Club and through our popular mobile massages at your home, yacht or hotel. We are also providing massages at yoga retreats and company incentives.

our wonderful team of 17 to 30 masseuses, bodyworkers and therapists, are highly qualified and trained, some being physiotherapists, osteopaths and lymphatic drainage specialists. Inspite of coming from all different countries and schools, what they all have in common is the presence and individuality with which they meet our clients. most of them have been with bodhana for a long time and created a faithful clientele over the years.
most popular with our clients are our 60 – 90 minutes full body massages, mixture of deep tissue and stress release massage, to ease knots and contractions and leave you relaxed at the same time.

bodhana wellness centre at the entrance to puerto portals is open all year, and our place at balneario illetas beach club from march to november.
whether you come to us or we visit you, you will experience an oasis of wellness with all your senses. fluffy soft orange towels, organic almond and essential oils, aromatic candles and incense, relaxing music and tranquility supports you to sink into a land of no-mind and helps your body to restore, ease and recuperate.
you can call us at any time and usually in less than an hour we are available. we welcome walk-ins, as we understand that a massage is most beneficial to be taken the moment your body feels like it or the time and schedule allows it.
we are flexible, spontaneous, fast, do it right and with awareness. we believe in what we do and enjoy doing it.

if you are planning on having massages frequently, ask us about our different bono cards and offers. and if you are looking for the perfect present, we have beautiful personalised gift vouchers for all occasions.
there are special offers for companies who would like to surprise their staff with a massage as a bonification.
we also offer classes and courses of yoga, meditation and reiki.
