About.

“In 2018, a life crisis led us to leave everything behind & move our family to a small, remote island in the Canadian Pacific.

There, surrounded by forests, wildlife, and dark starry nights, we began a path of rewilding & healing that, four years later, led us to create a retreat center of our own.”

—Esther & Marc

Muntanya Màgica is a family owned and run retreat center set atop a remote hillside in the forests of Alt Penedès, just outside Barcelona.

Made to serve as a wellness sanctuary and creative refuge, Muntanya Màgica welcomes people to rest, rewild, and reconnect within a natural setting, far from the distractions & temptations of modern life.

Created in 2024 by writer/musician Marc Cinanni and somatic bodyworker Esther Pallejà, the couple sought to turn a healing and rewilding experience on a remote island in the Pacific as the vision for a center of their own. 

With their two young daughters, their days involve tending gardens, caring for animals, and running wellness experiences and creative events for both retreat guests and members of the local community.

The family welcomes you to their labor of love, and simpler way of life.
