AYURVEDIC TREATMENTS IN CASTELNOU

AN AUTHENTIC AYURVEDIC RETREAT IN SOUTHERN FRANCE – MAS D’EN LINAS

​

We welcome you for authentic Ayurvedic retreats in the south of France, near Perpignan and the Spanish border, just a short distance from the medieval village of Castelnou, at Mas d’en Linas.

This magnificent Catalan farmhouse is a true rural sanctuary, nestled at the foot of the Pyrenees, offering breathtaking views over the Mediterranean coastline, the surrounding hills, and the majestic Canigou mountain.

​

A NATURAL AND PEACEFUL HAVEN

At the heart of the Garrigue landscape, you will experience a deep connection with nature in absolute tranquility, just ten minutes by car from the charming village of Castelnou, listed among the “Most Beautiful Villages of France.”

This unique residence, originally a centuries-old shepherd’s house, has been carefully transformed into the beautiful Catalan mas it is today, set within 12 hectares of rolling land.

​

A COMFORTABLE AND ELEGANT SETTING

The property features a swimming pool with stunning views over the valley and surrounding mountains.

You will also enjoy a spacious living area with the original fireplace from the former shepherd’s house, as well as 8 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, accommodating groups of up to 10 participants per retreat.

Between treatments, yoga sessions, and workshops, you may relax by the pool immersed in nature, practice yoga on the terraces or on the belvedere overlooking the sea, unwind in the large communal areas, or retreat to the many intimate spaces scattered around the property.
