Mandala de Masca – Buenavista del Nte.

The most beautiful place on earth! Wonderful experience❤️ everyone should visit Mandala de Masca at least once in their life❤️

Echt een magische week hier gehad! Wat een liefdevolle plek waar je helemaal jezelf mag zijn en er waanzinnig voor je wordt gezorgd. Het eten is elke dag fenomenaal en als vlees of vis eter mis je helemaal niks. Lichaam en geest komen hier volledig tot rust, een absolute aanrader! Monique en alle anderen, bedankt! ❤️

Spiritual Mandala de Masca is home. Helps you to reset and embrace what it is to be human. The food is out of this world

The best Yoga Retreat Center ever. The best plant based food I‘ve ever experienced. They have a very dedicated kitchen staff who loves to everyday surprise you with a new compilation of natural food, grown to a large extend in their own garden. And the Yoga Sala has such a great view and energy, you will love it. I haven‘t seen anything better.

Luogo suggestivo in mezzo a delle montagne mozzafiato. Ci si arriva a piedi, la strada per arrivarci dal Sud e/o da Buenavista del Norte è molto stretta e piena di tornanti.

Gorgeous location in the mountains with a yoga room with huge windows looking into the trees and over the valley and with delicious plant-based meals. The story of the center is quite inspiring, much of the food is grown on the property, and there are some great (hilly) hikes you can do right from the retreat. You are near enough to Masca to walk there daily (80 people live there, but there are a few restaurants and great views). The retreat owners are kind and attentive. Great experience!

I have just returned from my retreat at Mandala de Masca in Tenerife. An incredibly great place with fantastic hosts. Above all, however, our «teachers» …..was absolutely special for a warm, professional couple. The Yoga Retreat of the 7 Chakras was unforgettable. On the Mandala de Masca website you can already see the great pictures to get an impression…..but in reality it’s a lot more.

Wonderful place and magical view surrounded by the incredible nature. Loved the yoga retrait and the vegan food was next level. Thank you!

Net terug van een fantastische week in Mandala de Masca. Een prachtige ervaring die ik mijn leven niet zal vergeten. Het eten was echt heerlijke, elke dag weer nieuwe verrassende gerechten met producten uit de tuin. Monique en Marcello erg gastvrij en stonden 24/7 voor je klaar. Aan alles werd gedacht. Ik heb de chakra retreat gedaan met de zeer ervaren yoga docente Dhyana. Erg veel geleerd en veel mooie mensen ontmoet. Masca is een unieke plek waar er niet veel van zijn. Je kan er prachtige wandelingen maken in de bergen die je veel energie geven. De hele week was een mooie experience. In een woord magisch!

Leider sehr harzige Kommunikation. Wollten ein einwöchiges Retreat organisieren und haben mehrfach versucht Kontakt aufzunehmen. Keine Antwort. Nach vielen missglückten Versuchen also Auto geschnappt und hin gefahren. Aber nur um vor verschlossener Tür zu stehen und am Telefon rüde abgewürgt zu werden. Offenbar gesättigte Spiritisten. Der Weg hier hoch ist nichts für Leute die nicht schwindelfrei sind und die zahlreichen Fahranfänger machen den Tag zu einem gelungenen Gesamterlebnis.

Absolutely amazing yoga retreat in beautiful Masca village! It provided the ultimate escape from the hustle of city life. I loved waking up to the sounds of birds and stargazing at night. The yoga shala nestled among avocado trees was a hidden paradise. The food was delicious and made with so much love! A big thanks to Monique, Marcello, and the entire team for curating a retreat that exceeded all expectations. Grateful for the beautiful memories!

I had a wonderful experience at Mandala de Masca. Beautiful surroundings and accommodations, the owners Monique & Marcello have done an incredible job curating this retreat: amazing food, very kind and talented yoga teachers, and very engaging workshops! I would recommend 100%!

The week at Mandala de Masca was beautiful. Yoga, workshops, mediation, top quality food, top organization. A wonderful place where you can completely withdraw. Or, if you want, share your thoughts with other people. Thank you for this unique experience.

Truly transformative and beautiful retreat. I couldn’t fault it and really feel it has set me on a new path in life. Don’t think just book! The teachers the owners and the chefs are all wonderful. THANK YOU

Dankzij fantastische teachers zoals Barbara, Garmt en Micha had ik hier ooit prachtige ervaringen. Echter, contact met de eigenaren Monique en Marcello was minder positief. Kosteloze hulp en ervaring bij het maken van een Ayurvedisch kookboek werd niet op prijs gesteld. De terms & conditions zijn superstreng en uitgebreid en in schril contrast met de sfeer van openheid en gastvrijheid op de site. Verbod op een huisdier is bijv. niet vermeld en toch verboden in eigen vertrek, zodat de hele reis en reservering last minute op eigen kosten geannuleerd moest worden. Let dus op voor je hier boekt.

A beautiful, magical boho style place surrounded and protected by mountains and the valley of Masca. The owners Monique and Marcello are sweet and kindhearted and make you feel welcomed and home. The food they and all the kitchen chefs prepare is beyond delicious, healthy, vegan and detoxing. It made my soul and belly happy everyday! The Yoga Shala is beautiful built, with a tree growing through the roof and filled with a warm energy, big windows, a fantastic view and avocado trees growing in front of the Shala balkony. Highly recommend to visit a Yoga Retreat in this beautiful place.

I have just left after a Wonderful yoga retreat here. Such an amazing experience. The whole group left delighted, friends and definitely changed by the experience. They also offer special retreats through their foundation Yogini Rosa for survivors of breast cancer. I highly recommend it. The food, the place, the attention to details, the people. All so positive, and good energy throughout.

Een ervaring wat ik de rest van mijn leven meeneem. Wat een fantastische week heb ik beleefd in Mandala de Masca. Gelegen op een schitterende plek in de bergen waar je de gehele week kunt genieten van een prachtig uitzicht en sterrenhemels. Retreat eigenaren Monique en Marcello hebben een geweldig team gecreëerd, die dagelijks met liefde en aandacht de week tot een succes maken. De begeleiding van yoga docent Diana is geweldig. Ondanks het lessen in groepsverband zijn, kijkt ze per individu wat hij/zij nodig heeft. Het niveau wat je meebrengt maakt niks uit. Het programma is gedurende de week goed gevuld, je krijgt absoluut waar voor je geld. De prijs/kwaliteit verhouding kan niet beter. Ook het 100% plantaardig eten, is bij iedere maaltijd weer een positieve verrassing. Dit alles delen met een groep, waarin ieder een eigen intentie meebrengt, is een waardevolle krachtige energie. Ik heb deze week genoten van alle emoties die voorbij kwamen en heb tegelijkertijd meerdere delen van mijzelf ontmoet. Al met al een inspirerende week, waarin ik absoluut het e.e.a. ga toepassen in het dagelijks leven. Dank aan team Mandala de Masca en Happy Soul Travel voor het aanbieden van deze retreat.

What a beautiful healing and transformative week! It was all perfect. Everything in Mandala de Masca works together in blissful harmony. It felt like coming home. Let’s start with the incredible couple who own and run this beautiful place. Monique and Marcello are perfect compassionate hosts. You can feel how much heart has gone into creating this sanctuary for all to enjoy. They have a team of staff who are joyful and friendly and who clearly have the same loving intention as Monique and Marcello. The location is incredible, nestled in the mountains with stunning views. The indoor yoga shala is surrounded by trees with huge windows and just felt like the most magical place to practice. The bedrooms are comfortable and spacious and there are plenty of spaces to relax, indoors and outdoors, with many little hideaways if you need some quiet time. The vegan food was absolutely delicious, plentiful and beautifully presented. Our group were always very excited to see what the talented cooks had prepared for us every meal. A lot of the produce is grown is the huge garden behind Mandala de Masca. The yoga and chakra retreat, which is what I’d signed up to do for a week, was expertly delivered with passion and a great depth of knowledge by the wonderful Diana. The range of activities included yoga (a combination of hatha, vinyasa flow, nidra and yin) , meditation (moving and seated) , sound bath, kirtan, cookery workshop, a hike, a fire ritual and many more besides. I could write a separate review on how much I learned through her wonderful guidance. Suffice to say, it was a transformational week. There was ample of opportunity to rest during the day, either by the pool, popping into the local village or taking a book and lazing in one of the hammocks dotted around the garden. There was no obligation to join in all of the activities on the daily schedule, although with such a range of incredible things on offer it seemed a shame not to indulge in all of them! The whole week was so well organised by all who live and work at Mandala de Masca. It felt as if everything was flowing effortlessly. I can’t wait to go again. It’s the most wonderful place for healing, love, peace, laughter and so much more and feels like home.

This is a gem of a place, it is beautifully located, really well-run and absolutely authentic. The food is fantastic and the general atmosphere is so positive. Go!

I don’t know where to begin to describe how amazing Monique, Marcelo and the hole team is. This place has a touch of magic, the mountain is powerful and they are just doing the best job at making your stay look like a glimpse of heaven. I will go back there with my eyes closed. Thank you again !

Delicious vegan food, stunning remote location, serene scenery, very lovely hosts, great organization, diverse and holistic program (vinyasa, breathwork, yin, nidra, chanting), many small and beautiful details… all just very well done. I can highly recommend gifting a chakra retreat to yourself. Big thanks to Monique, Marcello, Barbara, Garmt & the whole Mandala de Masca team for one of the most beautiful, wholesome and uplifting weeks of my life! ✨

A wonderful gift to give yourself! I enjoyed everything, Monique and Marcello take care of everything to perfection. The place, the yoga, the food, the massage, my sleeping place, everything was right. Experienced a wonderful week in which I sought the silence within myself. I felt safe, secure and supported. Exactly what I sooo needed. Grateful to have found this in the Masca!!! Thank you dear Monique, Marcello and your whole team!!! Hopefully next year again, love Bianca

As a business owner it was a pleasure to work with Marcello from Mandala de Masca on the organization of a seminar at this beautiful place. The communication was always easy, professionell and friendly. The Mandala de Masca Team was well disposed towards my needs and reacted very flexible on change requests. So also as a trainer I can highly recommend the Mandala de Masca.

Deze week is eigenlijk niet in woorden te beschrijven en zeker het mooiste cadeau wat je jezelf kan geven. De eigenaren Marcello en Monique zijn gastvrij en hebben van hun finca een warme, fijne omgeving gemaakt waar je je direct thuis voelt. Een week lang de meest heerlijke vegan maaltijden gegeten die met veel liefde en aandacht elke dag klaar werden gemaakt en elk bord was ook nog eens een sterrenwaardig plaatje om te zien. De yoga- en meditatie lessen van de van oorsprong venezuelaanse Diana waren inspirerend en alles werd duidelijk en ook met de nodige humor uitgelegd, inclusief de 7 chakra’s, lessen waar je thuis mee verder kan. Het was echt een week van rust, tot jezelf komen, ontspanning en bezinning, ik kom hier zeker nog terug en hopelijk met mijn dochters die ik deze inspiratie en wijze levenslessen graag mee zou geven.

Impressively and professionally run retreat that will bring you peace, tranquility, vitality and disconnection. Highly recommended.

We have had an amazing, wonderful retreat in Mandala de Masca. Everything was very well taken care of and you can feel that love is the most important ingredient in everything they do. Also for us as vegans it was so relieving that the food was vegan. Amazing chef and team, the food was wonderful and better than you will find in restaurants! Mandala de Masca is a wonderful, beautiful healing place with lovely owners and team. Diana is an amazing yoga teacher wit many other talents and lots of wisdom. What a wonderful way to spend our holidays, dear all, thank you so much!

I have to say that it was one of the most magical weeks of my life. Everything was so well thought of. The food was incredible, the classes were amazing and the serenity and the beauty of the place was something else. A total reset. I just can’t recommend this place enough <3

When the experience was above all expectations! Mandala de Masca is a place where you feel at home. The location is stunning and peaceful. The food was incredibly tasty! Monique and Marcello created a place full of love, care and attention to the details. It was one of my best holidays. Thank you so much! I would love to come back here one day ❤️

I had a phenomenal stay here. Only have love & gratitude for this place. Everything here is so picturesque. Staff were very accommodating and attentive. Food and drinks were beyond delicious. Pool was very nice. Love the hammocks and the yoga/ meditation room. The nature is amazing here. The activities here were perfect. Overall a phenomenal experience and I recommend it to anyone and everyone.

I’d give 10 stars if this was possible The experience was above all my very high expectations! The location is stunning and peaceful. The vegan food was incredibly tasty and healthy! Monique and Marcello created a place full of love, care and attention to the details. I got a beautiful room equiped in a very high standard. Diana is an awesome teacher and artist. There is not the tiniest thing to complain about! If you are in doubt: just book it!

Spent a wonderful, relaxing, spiritual, & nourishing week here for a yoga retreat. The views are incredible, the rooms are comfortable, staff is amazing and the food was out of this world. Every meal was abundant, vegan and made with fresh ingredients. I’d go back just for the food. An assortment of beautiful teas served throughout the day and unlimited fresh fruits kept us hydrated and energized. Great balance of yoga sessions, other workshops/healings, chill/pool time… vibe was overall very chill and we always had something to do, but everything optional in case we felt like relaxing. I traveled solo here and had made new friends from around the world by the end of the week. I will absolutely be back from another retreat! Such a special time. Thank you ❤️

In den Bergen von Teneriffa liegt dieses traumhafte Haus. Ausblick einmalig. Veganes Essen sehr gut. Die Besitzer sind super lieb und bemüht. Die Zimmer schön und sauber. Yoga Shala ein Traum. Yoga (Shakra Retreat) war wenig anspruchsvoll, kam die Woche nicht ins Schwitzen, was ich etwas schade finde.

Such an amazing week there ! Highly recommended if you need to reset yourself, enjoy good food, breathtaking view, soul feeding yoga sessions and workshops!!

It’s such a pleasant surprise when expectations are exceeded. But when everything about an experience goes well beyond what you expect you know its special. I am just back after a week of the Chakra retreat and can honestly say I am so very glad I changed my mind before I was due to go to an all-inclusive hotel in Tenerife. Mandala de Masca is fantastic, full of love, nourishment and amazing energy. The location is breathtaking, you can stare at the view for hours. The yoga, instructors and EVERYBODY working there are delightful and the food…..lets just say I thought this was better than Ottolenghi and The Gate! I know that is a bold call, but I was blown away. I’m very happy I stumbled upon this website/retreat just when I needed it. I will have memories & new tips to remind me there is another place well away from Zoom calls, emails and the rush where you can slow down, chill out and just….be. I cannot recommend highly enough and I will be back for sure.

Ik heb de yogaretreat «Journey to your soul» gevolgd van yogadocente Julia Lammel. Het was geweldig!! Boven mijn verwachtingen, de rust, locatie, uitzicht op de bergen, zeer professionele yogadocente, alles (vervoer, eten, kamers, inrichting, yogamateriaal, relaxtruimtes) is tot in de puntjes goed geregeld en verzorgd. Je voelt je gelijk thuis. De eigenaren Marcello en Monique zijn erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam en doen er alles aan om het je naar de zin te maken. Er wordt ontzettend veel aandacht geschonken aan de voorbereiding van het eten, dat is al de moeite waard! Kortom, als je jezelf wilt verwennen is dit de plek!

Mandala de Masca is a beautiful place. I couldn’t which a better wake-up view than the valley of Masca or the stars twinkling above my head before I got to sleep. Marcello, Monique and the wonderful team put so much effort, and above all, love in the work they do that you can feel it. I had an amazing and really special week at Mandala de Masca and I wish everyone could experience a week like this.

Being in Mandala de Masca gives you the most spectacular views over the valley, the most beautifull starry sky and the best vibes of the world. With the personal approach, love and care of Marcello and Monique, the owners, you feel at home. The food is beautifully served and lovely. The appartments are all different and beautifully decorated. I would recommend everybody to visit this retreat. You will get an unforgettable experience and lots of new energy on your return!

The location and the service are superb, the food delicious and the yoga practices amazing! The owners and staff did a magnificent job, making you feel home and cared for. Warmly recommended!

Prachtige plek, lieve mensen, heerlijke yoga lessen en andere fijne workshops. Ontzettend lekker eten! Een mooi retreat center met fijne en gezellige kamers met alles wat je nodig hebt. Ontzettend fijne ruimtes binnen en buiten. Met liefde ingericht. Ik heb een fantastische retreat gehad!!

De yoga retreats hier zijn een echte aanrader. Je voelt je enorm welkom door de zeer persoonlijke aanpak van de eigenaren. Het eten is goed verzorgd en gezond met veel eigen/ lokale producten. Er heerst een gemoedelijke en relaxte sfeer. De finca ligt in een mooi natuurrijk gebied, met een paar kleine winkels in de buurt. De yogalessen worden gegeven door twee zeer gepassioneerde en inspirerende dames. Kortom een echte aanrader voor iedereen die tot rust en vooral tot zichzelf wil komen.

A truly inspiring and life changing experience. This was beyond a 5* trip. For me, I came away with more love and courage than I knew I had. This retreat has changed how I view my life and for me, that is priceless. Every member of this retreat is an angel and will lovingly help you realise that we are all wonderful souls and that life is worth living. Monique and Marcello could not be more loving and Diane and Maria’s yoga/life knowledge is extraordinary. The location is breath taking, the food is exquisite and the energy is incomprehensible. I will cherish my time here and will recommend coming here to everyone I know.

Fantastische plek om weer tot jezelf te komen. Heerlijk eten, lieve mensen, mooie omgeving, heerlijke yoga. Absoluut een aanrader!

Marcello and Monique run a beautiful retreat in the hills of Masca. The people, The Location and the Food are all amazing and together they have created a piece of paradise that is free from noise and distractions. We had a fantastic time practising Yoga with a great team of lovable instructors who were knowledgeable and wise beyond their years. You guys are the sky everything else is noise, it was beautiful and thank you x

Of all the retreat centers I’ve visited, Monique and Marcello made Mandala de Masca one to remember and to revisit! They make it very easy for the retreat organiser to focus on teaching and student, not being distracted by day to day food-sleep-trips. Everything is taken care of, even a hairdryer! The food is deliciously vegan, beautifully served and on time, every single day. We will surely be back in 2020.

A wonderful place, at a beautiful location, owned by amazing people. I would highly recommend it.
