Closer to Africa than its big sister Sicily, Pantelleria feels like a well-kept little secret of the Mediterranean. It pulses with raw volcanic frequency, yet beckons you discreetly, quietly.

We have lovingly designed a program to nourish you with an impactful experience of nature and culture. This is your invitation to disconnect from the ordinary and reconnect with what truly moves you. Not an escape, but a journey into the heart of something wild, beautiful, and unforgettable. An invaluable community of like-minded guests and creative souls awaits you. Join us for intimate gatherings under the stars as we dance, dream and watch the sun set over Tunisia.

You can expect curated experiences loaded with wellness and immersive offerings that embrace you and the island’s unique landscape. There are of course, plenty of unscheduled hours to rest or explore as you’d like.

• 7-night stay in a lovely room or suite
• Sunset aperitivo and farm-to-table welcome dinner upon arrival
• Daily brunch and on-site dinners inspired by the chef’s Sicilian heritage
with exceptional ingredients from the hotel’s own farms
• A memorable cliffside aperitivo and dinner outing
• Pranayama and the Garuda Method with its founder and creator, the extraordinary James D'silva
• One private session (per room or suite) with James
• A lifting and rejuvenating face, neck and buccal massage by our very own Angela Kuipers

⭐️Some Surprises⭐️

• Weather permitting, a day of boating to discover the island and its secret coves
• A trip to Lago di Venere for a healing mud-bath in its mineral-rich thermal waters
• A sunset stroll to the nearby lunar scape
• A panoramic hike of Montagna Grande and its natural cave sauna and fumaroles
• Arrival and departure transfers from PNL airport or port

Bookings are confirmed on a first-come-first-served basis upon our receipt of a 50% deposit.

Participation is by invitation only, and space is extremely limited, with just 9 rooms and suites.

Bookings close soon! To secure your participation and desired room or suite, write to us at info@mulu-productions.com

Join Garuda Founder James D'silva at our London studio this summer, where he will teach two flagship courses.

Garuda Foundation Apparatus A concentrates on the basic movement repertoire, taking you through a syllabus that prepares you for teaching movement at both an elementary and intermediate level. Here the practitioner is trained in the philosophy and movement material and taught Garuda specific teaching skills.

Garuda Foundation Matwork is the cornerstone of the Garuda Method that builds gradually from the micro to the macro. Here movements start first by isolating individual muscles, then move on to the myofascial lines they belong to.

LAST FEW SPACES LEFT!

✨ Mystical, Magical Egypt ✨

There’s a reason this land has captivated hearts for thousands of years — every corner feels like a doorway into something ancient, powerful, and deeply human. From wandering through grand temples and timeless mosques to riding camels with the pyramids in view, Egypt isn’t just a destination — it’s a feeling. It’s the pulse of millennia in the stones beneath your feet, the warm breeze after sunrise prayer, the way history seeps into your bones.

And there's no one better to explore this mystical, magical country than with Magda Hashem of Pharonik Pilates, whose passion, love and pride in her motherland shine through every part of this journey. Daily movement. Ancient wonder. Soulful connection. This kind of journey stays with you forever. And special guest James D'silva, founder of The Garuda Method, will be joining us!

Join Magda and James on this Egypt Retreat, March 26–April 4, 2026.

✨ Reserve your spot for only $350 that goes towards the total fee✨
