Seven-Day Retreat at Mandali, 30 August–6 September 2025

Description

Accommodation

Mandali offers Twin/Double and Shared dormitory room accommodation on site. If you would like to stay in a single room, you will be able to add your name to the waitlist. We may offer single occupancy in twin rooms on a first come, first served basis if there are spaces available closer to the retreat date. 

Couples can note a preference for twin beds or a double bed during the booking process. 

Most of the Twin rooms are booked in pairs for couples or friends who wish to share together, the system will automatically add two tickets to your basket for you. It is possible to book a twin room to share with a friend or to be allocated to a twin room sharing with another person. If you wish to book only for yourself, please book using the appropriate button for a male or female twin room, and you will be allocated a room with one other person.

Shared dormitory rooms will have 4 attendees in total and are allocated by gender; please choose the appropriate ticket when booking so that we can allocate your room properly. There are single beds and single bunk beds available in shared rooms, please book with your preference. Please note that bunk bed tickets are either top or bottom bunks, which will be allocated by the organiser according to availability. 

If you wish to share a room with a friend, you will be able to book your tickets and email Neil with your sharing preference when booking is open. 

Commuter tickets are for those who prefer to stay off-site at a local B&B or if you live close by. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and refreshments are included in the Commuter price, along with access to the spa facilities. 

Commuter tickets are non-residential. We advise arranging outside accommodation before purchasing a commuter ticket.

There are some accommodations available within walking distance of Mandali. A car is needed to reach the majority of accommodation options. You can find the list of outside accommodations here.

A short walk from Mandali, the family-owned Hotel Monte Mazzoccone is a popular guesthouse with our attendees. For more information and booking, please contact Samantha via WhatsApp at +39 0323 199 1076

The nearest airport is Malpensa Milano Airport, which is roughly 80 minutes by car. There will be a coach service from the airport, for more details please email Neil – [email protected]

Please note that Mandali discourages guests to fly to Linate or Bergamo Orio al Serio because they are further away by car, and have difficult connections for public transport.

Meals & Refreshments

All meals will be lacto-vegetarian. It is possible to select gluten or dairy free meals during the booking process; if you have special dietary requirements, please contact the organiser to check that your requirements can be met by the catering team before booking. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that all special diets can be catered for.
