Pause

Mandala feels multi-purposeful. If you need a breathing space to gather your thoughts, a space to expand, write or heal, a yoga shala or creative space, or simply a holiday, consider Mandala House a place to pause for a while. 

Space to Sleep 

Rest in the peace and beauty of Magoualdes, a village without a bar or shop, though we do have a Buddha Hall and beautiful Orthodox church. All the rooms at Mandala are lovely, each in their own way, with different views, spaciousness, bathrooms, kitchens, air conditioning and or art. Choose the one that suits your soul and budget. Holiday peak times are from June - October and I also welcome off-season creative house-sharing. 

Space to Write

There are countless desks at Mandala, in rooms, in the olive press and garden. Find yourself a peaceful, shady or sunny space and invite the muse. Read, write, and be inspired. Creativity takes time and here you’re welcome to rest and expand your love affair with words. 

Space to Wander 

Enjoy the colour and light and splendour of awe-inspiring landscapes, with walks radiating from the house. Or search out the Arillas trail down to the beach, through olive groves, seeing sea views & local nature, churches, or a monastery. 

Space to Explore

Discover Arrillas & Corfu - there’s so much beauty here awaiting you. Whether it's the delights of food or views or both, there is much to delight in. Favourites include Ina’s, Anafoufou and Akrotiri cafes, Porto Timoni, Cape Drastis, Afionas, Agios Georgios, Corfu Venetian Harbour, The Asian Art Museum, Imabari, Luuma & Seventh Heaven. The delights of discovery await. 

Space to Create 

If you’d like an artist's residency, let’s make a bespoke time for you with the muses of beauty, peace and creativity as bedfellows. We have an easel and space. Bring your book, canvases, paints or music in progress. We can arrange residencies from around 400 euros per week, including food, airport pickups, grocery shopping or trips to beautiful spots. Ask and we shall create.

Space to Learn

Ali is a natural teacher and a Sexological Bodyworker. She offers sex coaching with soul. Private sessions to learn more about how to connect with grace, intimacy, kindness and honesty. She’ll be holding events around conscious sensuality, touch and consent. Mandala is a private venue, discreet and quietly permissive. And we have neighbours so we need to be respectful of both parking and cultural sensitivity! Nudity is better at the beach. If you’re a teacher, offer a suggestion and we can collaborate.

Space to Relax

Our sunrise view is breathtaking, sunlight breaking through dawn mists, a place to enjoy coffee, quiet time and the space to reflect or do your practices. Come and be you as you find the time to restore your energy and enjoy emerging anew into joyfulness and beauty. 

Space to Heal 

Built by the original doctor owner, there are still medical journals and pharmacy bottles that share the history of this healing home. We’re building connections with yoga teachers, astrologers, therapists and healers in the community and there is a massage/therapy space ‘the pharmacy’ in the courtyard, 


Let’s create something wonderful together. Please email alisonpilling@hotmail.com for possibilities, rooms, events in the olive press and bespoke gatherings.
