Where do I start? Palmaia House of Aia is a 5 star experience set in nature. For my birthday I wanted to have the retreat experience without being tied to a group or schedule and this resort exceeded my expectations. My Normadic guide, Esteban was so sweet and took care of me the entire time I was there. The food! Exquisite! The workshops were fun and amazing. I absolutely plan to come back with family and friends and highly recommend.
