Believe
it or not, on the northwest coast of Europe's infamous
party island is a quiet corner where people practice
Ashtanga-based yoga, enjoy an oasis of calm tranquility,
eat vegetarian meals and “find themselves”
rather than a person to, er, dance with. The accommodations
of Villa Roca, Villa Palmas, Benirras Beach Apartment
and the Pagoda Garden are tasteful and pretty in an
earthy way, and you cannot beat the sunsets. Leave your
Gucci mat at home and count on making the acquaintance
of bongo-playing hippies and fire eaters.
