Villa Capri
Vilafranca de Bonany, Spain

I have participated in two retreats at Villa Capri, and each time it was an immersive, dreamy, trippy, creative, and funny experience. If you’re someone like me who loves authenticity, weirdness, and being surprised, then maybe this place is for you too. Set in the beautiful countryside of Mallorca, away from the effervescence of the city, it truly felt like a real retreat. The beautiful souls I shared this adventure with all brought something unique to our little household. We cried, we laughed, we danced, and we sang. I witnessed how much creativity and artistic minds can bring into life, and it was deeply inspiring. Lorena is passionate, raw, utopian, and a true free spirit. That is such a rare quality to have, and it inspires others to let go of the control imposed by this overly stressful, demanding, “you always have to be productive” kind of life. I can’t wait to reunite with this community. Mallorca has been a heart-opener, and I know there are more creative adventures to come.

I spent around 10 days at Villa Capri, and it was a deeply inspiring and nurturing experience. The residency is beautifully located, with easy access (by car) to stunning beaches and nature, making it the perfect setting to slow down and reconnect creatively. What made it truly special, though, was the group dynamic. I was surrounded by an incredible circle of creative women, and together we explored themes of femininity, safety, and expression. There was something powerful about sharing space with others who genuinely supported one another—it created an environment where ideas flowed naturally and creativity felt effortless. Our days were filled with meaningful experiences: painting in the forest, experimenting with food as an artistic and sensory practice, and grounding ourselves through yoga and oracle card sessions to align intentions. Each activity felt intentional and enriching. Lorena is an exceptional host. She not only introduced us to some of the most magical spots on the island, but also offered constant encouragement and inspiration. Her presence reminded me to trust myself, pursue my dreams, and stay connected to my creative path. This residency is more than just a place—it’s an experience of connection, inspiration, and personal growth that I will carry with me.
There’s a natural sense of community that forms, when you share a home for weeks, sharing meals, conversations, shared moments, and creating together. It created a space where I could step out of the pressure of productivity and reconnect with a more intuitive way of working. The residency I joined was mostly self-led, which gives you the freedom to shape your days at your own rhythm. It works best if you’re willing to take initiative and engage with what’s around you. I would suggest arriving with a defined idea, but also staying flexible and receptive to what emerges through the process and the people you meet. It was sweet to meet the local art scene in the open doors day. Everyone was really supportive. Looking forward to return.
Mallorca is a special place — yes, that’s a fact. Villa Capri boasts magnificent grounds: expansive space, a vegetable garden, nature all around, light-filled rooms, disconnection, rest, beautiful décor, exquisite taste, and every comfort you could possibly need during your stay. But do you know who truly gives it soul and makes everything come together? Lorena. Lorena is Villa Capri — a generous, creative, dreamy, attentive, and entrepreneurial soul who made the stay worthy of the finest resort. I leave with a full heart after sharing these experiences. This is my fourth year being part of the residencies, and I have nothing but words of gratitude. I will return soon to live another deeply healing experience in every sense.
Spending 2 weeks at Villa Capri was a highly enriching experience, both artistically and personally. The space itself is truly special, full of character, and so peaceful. It creates the right conditions for focus and experimentation. What stayed with me most was the atmosphere. It felt safe, nurturing, and genuinely supportive. There was space to take risks, to share work in progress, and to be vulnerable without pressure. The environment encouraged dialogue, collaboration, and deep listening (to oneself and to nature...). As Mallorca has become a luxury retreat destination, some people come here expecting that... Villa Capri provides a raw and real experience; you don't need a perfect studio space if you have the freedom to place your table anywhere you want in a huge garden... It is rare to find a residency that feels both intimate and expansive at the same time. I left feeling inspired, grounded, and connected. I would join again without hesitation and am already looking forward to the next nomadic residency outside Mallorca.
