Frequently asked questions

Your visit

Before you come

Where are you, and is it more than one place?+

There is only one address, but two units right next to each other, with ten cabins between them. Please come to our main entrance at bodhana wellness centre, c/ Benito Jerónimo Feijoo 2, local 12, opposite the port entrance to Puerto Portals. That is where reception is, that is where we welcome you, and from there we take you to one of our treatment rooms.

Where can I park?+

There are plenty of parking possibilities around us. Like everywhere on the island there are fewer free spaces in high season, so please allow 5 or 10 minutes more on arrival. In the blue line zones you need a ticket from the machine or the parking app. Past bodhana, at the top of our road, there is a big car park free of charge, and between 14:00 and 16:00 you can park for free right opposite. The large car park at Marineland is a three-minute walk away, and during the summer holidays the Agora school at the big roundabout is closed with plenty of spaces. Down in the port of Puerto Portals the first hour is usually free. And if you are really struggling, give us a call: we can move one of our company cars and give you the space.

Do I need an appointment, or can I just drop in?+

With an appointment you are on the safe side, especially in high season, but walk-ins are very welcome. We have quite a few therapists working every day, so most of the time we can take you straight away or within the next hour.

When are you open?+

Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 20:00, Saturdays from 11:00 to 19:00. We are open over lunchtime too.

Can you take more than one person at the same time?+

Yes. We can take up to ten people at the same time at the centre, and as many as you like at your home or retreat.

Can I ask for a particular therapist?+

Yes. Tell us when you book who you would like to have your massage with, and we find a time when she is available.

Can I choose the cabin or treatment room?+

Of course. You can have your favourite cabin if you book in advance, or if it is free when you come.

Your treatment

What suits you

What is your most popular massage?+

The bodhana Full Body Signature Massage. A personalized full-body treatment combining deeper techniques to release knots and muscular tension with flowing, relaxing movements to calm the body and mind. The perfect balance between effective bodywork and deep relaxation. You will find it under our offers. It takes 60 or 90 minutes.

Do you do couples massages?+

Yes, and we have a beautiful couples space for it, which we can also decorate for an anniversary or a birthday. Just let us know. The fixed-price offer is on Mondays.

Do you do massages for children?+

Yes, and we have for many years, from babies to children of all ages. Some of the children we treated back then bring their own for a massage now. Whole families often come for treatments together.

At the centre

While you are with us

What should I wear?+

Come in whatever you feel comfortable wearing. Your therapist gives you privacy to undress to your own comfort level and tells you how to lie on the massage table. You are appropriately covered throughout the treatment.

What happens when I get there?+

If you have not told us when you booked, we ask what type of massage you would like and what kind of pressure, whether you would like your head and face included, and if there is an area that needs more attention. You leave your shoes on the shelf in reception, switch your phone off and step into our massage space. You undress in your own cabin: underwear on, everything off, or one of our disposable paper tangas, whatever feels more comfortable.

I don’t know which massage to book. Can you help me choose?+

Absolutely. You don’t need to know exactly which treatment you need before you come. Tell us how you are feeling, where you have tension or discomfort and what you would like to achieve from your treatment. Our reception team and therapists help you choose the one that suits you best.

What is the difference between a relaxing, a deep tissue and a sports massage?+

A relaxing massage uses flowing, generally gentler techniques to calm the body and the nervous system. A deep tissue massage works more specifically and deeply into areas of muscular tension. A sports massage is particularly suited to active people, muscular overload and recovery. We can also combine the techniques, depending on what your body needs.

Can I ask the therapist to concentrate on one particular area?+

Of course. Neck, shoulders, lower back, legs, feet: tell us where you need attention and we can spend more time there.

Can I combine several treatments?+

Yes, and many clients do exactly that: back and foot reflexology in one session, or a massage combined with a facial. Just tell us what you have in mind.

May I ask for more or less pressure during the treatment?+

Absolutely. Tell your therapist at any point and she will adjust.

Do you work with essential oils?+

We use almond oil as a base, with a few drops of lavender mixed in. If you would like more essential oils, we offer a full aromatherapy massage.

I have an injury or a medical condition. Is that a problem?+

Please tell us when you book and again before your treatment. We then choose and adapt a massage that suits you, and the right therapist for it. We do not give medical advice: your doctor is the right address for that.

Can I have a massage during pregnancy?+

Yes, bodhana offers pregnancy massage. Please tell us how far along you are when you book, so that we can select the appropriate treatment and therapist and adapt positioning and pressure for you.

Can I bring my dog?+

We understand that you don’t like to leave your dog alone at home. We have a space where you can enjoy your massage with your dog beside you. Please book this option in advance so we can check availability.

Can I, or do I have to, talk during my massage?+

We invite you not to, because the experience is much more effective and beautiful in silence, for you and for the therapist. That way you can both more easily come out of the mind and let the rest of the body relax.

Can I have a massage if I am sunburnt?+

This is a particularly good Mallorca question. Mild sun exposure may simply mean adapting the treatment, but massage directly over painful or badly sunburnt skin should be avoided. Tell us beforehand and we can advise you.

Can I have a massage before or after flying?+

Yes. Massage, and particularly the gentle lymphatic treatments, can be a wonderful choice around travel, especially for tired or heavy-feeling legs.

Paying and gifting

Prices, packages, vouchers

How can I pay?+

Cash or card at the centre. If you prefer to pay in advance, we send you a payment link or you can do a bank transfer.

What does a treatment cost?+

Every price is listed openly, sorted by treatment and length. An hour of massage is generally 65 €. On top of that there are packages and the massage bono: buy ten treatments and the eleventh is free.

Do you sell vouchers?+

Yes. We have beautiful personalised vouchers in English, Spanish or German, and in any other language on request. They can be made out for a length of treatment of your choice or for a fixed amount. We prepare it at the centre for you to pick up, with an envelope and a bit of decoration. Or we send it to you by email or WhatsApp: you give us the name of the recipient, the length of the massage or the amount, and a phrase you would like to add, and you pay by card over the phone, by bank transfer or through a payment link. Or you put your voucher together yourself here on our website.

Can you do something special for a special occasion?+

On request we decorate the room for a birthday, an anniversary or another special occasion. Get in touch and tell us how you would like to surprise your loved one.

Beyond the centre

Groups, mobile and good to know

Do you do massages for groups or at retreats?+

Yes, we come to your home or your retreat place, with as many therapists as you like. We have been working with quite a few retreat centres on the island for many years, especially with Son Sion and Finca Sanau.

Do you do mobile massages?+

Yes, we come to your home, hotel or yacht and bring everything we need. What it costs depends on how far we travel from our base; the prices are listed under mobile massages.

Do you also offer yoga, meditation or reiki?+

We offer reiki sessions, and Chetana teaches reiki in three levels as a reiki master. Courses for level 1 are held from time to time; for the others, just ask. Yoga and meditation we organise for you on request, as a group or individually. There are no regular classes at the moment.

What is your cancellation policy?+

Plans can change, we understand that. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance. Less than 24 hours before the appointment we may charge 50 % of the booked treatment; less than 3 hours before, or if you do not come, we may charge 100 %. If you arrive late we always do our best to give you the fullest treatment time possible, but the treatment may need to be shortened so that the clients after you are not kept waiting, and the full price still applies. For group bookings and multiple treatments different conditions may apply, and we confirm them when you book. For gift vouchers and prepaid treatments, a late cancellation or a no-show can mean that the voucher is considered used. Thank you for understanding that your appointment time is reserved especially for you.

Why choose bodhana for a massage in Mallorca? What makes bodhana different?+

For more than 25 years bodhana has grown through experience, passion and the trust of our clients, which makes it one of the oldest and largest wellness centres on the island. It combines the professionalism and the choice of a big centre with the warmth and personal attention of a small one. The atmosphere is beautiful and inviting, and with our large, experienced and international team, a wide range of treatments and long opening hours we can offer great flexibility, often even at short notice. With up to ten treatments at the same time we can also comfortably welcome couples, families, friends and larger groups. We believe a massage should never feel routine: every person and every body is different, which is why we listen to what you need and help you find the right treatment and the right therapist.
