Hiking & Soaking: Azores Adventure

Sold Out…thanks adventurers!

Join MYA for a spectacular adventure in the Azores! We’ll stay on the biggest island, the green island, São Miguel. Adventurers will be absorbing pristine nature, volcanic scenery replete with hot springs, crater lakes, waterfalls, marine life, thermal swimming pools, beaches, and more…

We’ll spend seven nights in a beautiful villa with a heated pool and hot tub with views of Barrosa Mountain. Adventurers will spread out into four bedrooms, with a choice of either a queen bed or twin bed - please know that there is limited space on this adventure. The living room opens up through glass windows to the outdoor backyard area with garden & soaking elements, and also to the kitchen. Anna will be your cook, serving up vegetarian fabulousness with Portuguese flair.

Adventurers will be in an excellent location to discover the whole island. The villa is five minutes from the beaches and ten from the center of Ponta Delgada, the charming & quaint capital with European vibes. There will be plenty of hiking along the footpaths on the island; and of course, those of you who love birdwatching, bring along your binos to see the feathered beauties on hikes and with a visit to the Priolo Environmental Centre. There’s endless exploring to be done on this lush island, a nature lover’s paradise and to top it off there are great possibilities of spotting dolphins and whales.

Driving along the coast, passing through Relva and Feteiras, surrounded by green with the sea in the background, we’ll visit the iconic crater-lakes of the region called Sete Cidades, Seven Cities Lagoon and take in the Vista do Rei, King’s View. Adventures can admire the beauty of the giant crater at the bottom of which the Verde and Azul lagoons coexist, twinned by an arched bridge, which according to legend were formed from the tears of a princess and a shepherd joined by an impossible love.

In Furnas adventurers will visit a hot spring resort Terra Nostra Garden Hotel where the 18th century Terra Nostra Park resides, a wonder-filled garden with a lake-pool of mineral-rich thermal water. The area has hundreds of small springs and streams, all with different properties with the garden located in the midst of this magnificent water system.

Amazing panoramic views are nearby at Pico do Ferro and Salto do Cavalo. Adventurers will visit a hot spring waterfall of Caldeira Velha nestled in the rainforest and swim in a nice warm bath in the atlantic ocean heated by the volcanic hot water at Ponta da Ferraria.

Adventurers will be offered up a daily morning yoga practice and well as a couple evening flows under the stars. Anna will be serving up five delicious vegetarian dinners and breakfasts, respectful of all food allergies. Lunches are on your own determined by wherever our adventurer places us, there are often leftovers and bringing along picnic supplies is also viable. Please know that everything is optional, you can skip out on yoga and whatever our excursion for the day will be to relax at the villa, perhaps even schedule yourself a massage :)

Don’t miss out on an incredible island adventure with views for days, superb hiking, yummy food, soaking all the ways, daily yoga, villa lounging, birdwatching, marine life sightings, and more…

Epic Sunsets & Snorkeling: St. John USVI Adventure

Sold Out - thanks adventurers!

Escape to the Virgin Islands with MYA on an extraordinary adventure to gorgeous St. John, a small island in the Caribbean Sea. This will be our third visit and we know for certain that there will be unparalleled awesome island explorations!

Adventurers will stay at a lush mountain top villa enjoying the vistas of foliage, sea and sky. Daily visitations of iguanas, lizards, and birds are sure to delight. The possibilities are endless with playtime at the beaches, hiking, delicious vegetarian meals, veranda lounging, pool dipping, hot tub soaking, giving back as island volunteers, plenty of yoga practices, and more…

A ferry will take adventurers over to St. John (flights are into St Thomas) and MYA will arrange a 4-wheel drive pick up to whisk you off to our super fab accommodations.

A national park occupies more than half the island with its forests full of resident and migratory birds, including cuckoos, warblers and hummingbirds. The beaches are pristine and spectacular! Ancient jungles ruins are throughout the landscape. Dolphins inhabit the island’s waters, which also host hawksbill and green turtles. The mangroves at Hurricane Hole in the east support corals, anemones, and a large variety of colorful fish. Donkeys, goats, and chickens are sprinkled throughout the island.

Our stunning adventure villa is a fresh one for MYA on Bordeaux Mountain, the highest summit on the island, in the national park. Adventurers will be sweetly ensconced in a quiet, private lush space with a main house and a carriage house, between Cruz Bay & Coral Bay. Tucked away and charming, with sweeping mountain top views across the Caribbean to the British Virgin Islands with plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy the stunning scenery and cooling breeze.

Inside the magnificent mason home is the exquisite stone Great Room with soaring ceilings adorned with arched windows and mahogany french doors which open up to the wrap around covered veranda which extends out to a breezy tranquil porch.

The gourmet kitchen with blue Viking range was designed for serious cooking and entertaining in mind; Anna, our vegetarian cook for the week, is going to be killing it! The MYA offerings will be vegetarian and any and all food allergies/preferences will be honored. All of the breakfasts are covered as well as five vegetarian dinners at the house, two will be out on the town to take in the local experience.

There are two beautifully decorated bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms within the main house, one with a stone and tile outdoor shower. The close by carriage house has three spacious bedrooms with lovely interiors and a fabulous outdoor shower. The two bedrooms on the upper level of the carriage house have private access and share a spacious bathroom with the open air native stone shower. There is also a large bedroom on the ground level of the carriage house with a full ensuite bathroom. The villa truly comes together with all of the outdoors lounging/eating areas and lush tropical plantings, the infinity in-ground pool, and over sized hot tub.

But wait there’s more, the outdoor dining area with Weber grille (veggie kabobs!) with seating for up to 12 adventurers will be super cool. The space also shares a cozy, comfortable seating area all framed with beautiful arch french doors which open to the pool and central courtyard. Utterly captivating with tranquil ambiance beyond compare!

MYA will be offering up some of our time to the locals with a volunteer component added to our adventure. Adventurers can help out in the national park and/or help care for island animals such as horses, donkeys and goats at the animal sanctuary. We’ll get in a couple hours in the morning before the day heats up.

Adventurers will be hiking, snorkeling (equipment is rentable if you don’t have your own), swimming, birding & wildlife viewing, and enjoying yoga at least once a day. Every beach that we visit has the possibility of amazing underwater life, coral, turtles, fish, nurse shark, octopus etc.

We may book guided tours as well such as the leisurely kayak and snorkel adventure in Hurricane Hole w/ Arawak which has been an amazing experience 2 yrs in a row, and the sunset sail & snorkel with Stormy Pirates, also outstanding. Perhaps you have something in mind for adventurers to try, throw it out there and we’ll make it happen.

Limited space - don’t miss out on a crazy good time on the island of St. John, a slice of paradise! Adventurers will enjoy seven nights in a private lux villa with breakfasts and dinners (5) included, daily yoga, volunteering, private pool & hot tub, stargazing, birding, enjoying the local wildlife, hiking, swimming, and snorkeling…
