AïA\Wellness is our holistic offering of wellness experiences for every guest. Comprised of four pathways, each is one part of the whole. When combined, AïA\Wellness experiences inspire our guests to deliberately and mindfully transform the way they think about and practice wellness. Every touch point, every experience, and every interaction is intentional, with the aim of creating an environment where well-being is integrated into everyday life, long after our guests leave Palmaïa.
We call it The Gifting Lifestyle, because that’s what it is. Palmaïa is our gift to the world, so we can heal together. Palmaïa exists because of your support, which is why we prefer not to create stress about money while you are here. We have a one rate system (all-inclusive) where you pay once and everything is included*. You don’t need to worry about being short-changed here, no Wellness Resort in the world includes as much as we do.
Our greatest hope is for you to take what you learn at Palmaïa and gift it to others. We hope that like so many others, when you come here, you are also inspired to gift your skills and knowledge and contribute to the community. Only by working together do we make the magic of Palmaïa possible.
What is included in the rate?
Our resort embraces a culture shaped by deeply-held values and beliefs, guiding us towards a collective awareness mission and fostering a holistic wellbeing lifestyle.

When we designed Palmaïa, we set out to create an experience that defied definition—a ground-breaking wellness concept where there are no prescribed agendas, itineraries, and schedules that add stress to an experience that is supposed to be the complete opposite. Instead, Palmaïa meets you where you are, offering experiences throughout the day, every day that you can partake in to whatever degree you want to engage.
But just because we launched and operate Palmaïa doesn’t mean the journey is over. We’re always searching for, finding inspiration in, and developing new wellness classes, concepts, treatments, and rituals to add to our ever-evolving definition of what Palmaïa wellness is. And it’s more than just experiences. It’s holistic. It’s all-encompassing. It’s the very heartbeat of Palmaïa that radiates out to every guest interaction and touchpoint. Everything you see, hear, touch, smell and taste during a stay—from the decor in a restaurant, the sax player who accompanies a live DJ on the beach, to the ever-changing plant-based menus at a restaurant, a new art class that brings out your creative side, or emotionally connected ancient healing treatments that heal your body and soul at our spa—every touch point is consciously curated to cultivate a connected experience with you.
We’re the best kept secret in wellness—a place that many of our guests discover almost by accident. Yoga instructors and healers, practitioners and teachers from around the world help spread the word about the incredible experiences we offer, in a place built for those of us who want to have life-changing experiences, be it one, or many. Most importantly, our team is here to guide, support, and provide space for you to be inspired to explore on your terms. It’s this culture of wellness, of being not only mindful, but singularly focused on creating a memorable experience for each and every guest that drives us.
"AïA is our connection to the divine, the guide in our journey of transformation and healing.”
