The Balance: A soothing retreat in a comforting natural setting
The founder’s inspiring story
It’s not always easy to find the right balance. Between highly advanced but not very comforting 100% medicalized environments, and more holistic but less advanced centers, the choice is difficult. However, a few establishments have succeeded in achieving asubtle alchemy between serious, ongoing, in-depth medical care and a warm, reassuring, familiar environment. That’s what you’ll find at The Balance on the island of Majorca. At this luxury rehabilitation center, you’ll be cared for by a host of healthcare professionals, in a magnificent residence surrounded by nature.
Nestled in the peaceful rural district of Llucmajor on Mallorca, The Balance Retreat offers a luxurious experience surrounded by breathtaking nature. Founded by Abdullah Boulad, who himself overcame burnout, the center emerged after a period of personal reflection and research into rehabilitation. Faced with major health challenges, the founder of The Balance decided at the time to take control of his life. Attracted by the perfect blend of sunshine, natural beauty and a “healing energy environment”, his quest led him to Mallorca some time later. And so, The Balance opened its doors in Llucmajor, offering not only a luxurious retreat, but also a setting steeped in personal history and healing.
The Balance philosophy: One customer at a time
This is one of the promises of this center, which also has branches in Zurich, London and New York. A single client is welcomed for total 24/7 care by therapists, psychiatrists and holistic health professionals for a minimum of 4 weeks.

He believes that contact with nature is essential for reconnecting with oneself, and the Mallorcan countryside offers an ideal setting for this.

Wellness at The Balance: an integrative approach to complexity
Psychological, emotional, behavioral and addiction-related disorders are complex human mechanisms. That’s why, for The Balance, it’s imperative to adopt a “360°” approach, i.e. a global approach. This holistic approach is based on the conviction that our lives are a reflection of our inner world. From this perspective, the body reflects the mind, and vice versa.
A positive outlook and a holistic approach to your health
The weight of stress, unhappiness and negativity can leave a significant mark on physical and mental health. At The Balance, the therapeutic approach aims to explore and transform your beliefs and negative thought patterns that alter your perception of the world. The constant encouragement is to take life as a series of opportunities, whether positive or negative. The aim is to foster an open and constructive outlook, even in the face of the most difficult challenges.
Rehabilitation at The Balance is based on an integrative approach that combines the patented ” Biochemical Restoration BCR ” method, therapeutic interviews conducted in collaboration with a professional, and the use of holistic therapy techniques such asequitherapy,EMDR or ” Somatic Experiencing ” therapy. This process of transformation also encompasses the care you give yourself at every moment, including rest and relaxation. It is through this synergy that your rehabilitation takes shape, promoting a holistic approach to your physical and psychological well-being.

A rehabilitation trip that allows you to take your time, followed by after-care support
Opting for a treatment at The Balance means committing to aminimum 4-week trip tothe rehab center. After in-depth discussions with the professionals, you’ll settle into one of the houses or yachts allocated to the cures. During these 4 weeks, you’ll benefit from comprehensive care dedicated to your rehabilitation. At the end of this period of care, the family environment is invited to take part in work and care sessions with the patient, ensuring a smooth transition post-cure.
Approximately two weeks after you leave the spa, the support team assesses your return to everyday life, evaluating both successes and difficulties, to determine whether further care is required. The family environment is also consulted to obtain a global view of the patient’s condition. This long-term, holistic approach guarantees the success of The Balance cures. It is of paramount importance both for the care team and for the success of the healing process. The aim is to treat body, mind and behavior, accompanying the patient and his or her immediate environment in an authentic approach to care.
Cutting-edge holistic therapies
We may have used terms that are new to you so far! As an avant-garde center, The Balance is at the cutting edge of the techniques available today to accompany patients on the road to recovery.
BCR® Biochemical Restoration
The Balance uses the BCR® Biochemical Restoration method – a Swiss innovation that rebalances body and brain biochemistry. Biochemical factors shape an individual’s personality, behavior, mental health, immune function and allergic tendencies. The balance between these factors is called homeostasis.
On arrival at The Balance, each individual is given a check-up to determine the presence or absence (and type) of biochemical imbalance. Doctors combine laboratory test results with anamnestic information about the patient’s psychology, as well as clinical tests. On this basis, an individualized nutritional protocol is prescribed to support patients in their recovery.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback, also known as electroencephalography (EEG) biofeedback, exploits the brain’s neuroplasticity through a reward-based training system, without the use of drugs. It conditions the brain to identify and rectify undesirable brainwave patterns, or replace them with a balanced, beneficial pattern of brain activity. This specialized biofeedback treatment aims to train and manage the brain’s electrochemical processes. EEG measures brain activity on the surface of the scalp using electrodes and sensors, reflecting this activity in brain waves. The patient learns to distinguish between desired and undesired brainwaves through auditory and/or visual cues, thus promoting the production of beneficial brainwaves and reducing those that provoke harmful emotions. A balanced waveform, representing healthy biochemical brain homeostasis, is indicated by a positive response, such as a pleasant tone on neurofeedback devices.
Somatic Experiencing Therapy
Somatic therapy, also known as somatic experience, integrates the brain, mind and body into a therapeutic healing practice. By focusing on the body, this approach aims to relieve the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health problems, by establishing a harmonious connection between mind and body.
Often, individuals ignore the innate mechanisms of the neurological fight-or-flight response system, feeling powerless and confronted with obsessive thoughts, judgments and phobias. Somatic Experiencing aims to help people overcome a point of “frustration” in dealing with a traumatic incident.
The Balance: nutrition and health at the heart of the program
Balancing the intestinal microbiota is an integral part of the rehabilitation program. This organ, now considered the second brain, is known to have an impact on mental health, food intolerances, depressive states and even the development of autoimmune diseases.
In The Balance’s treatment protocols, nutrition is a strong link in the healing process. Eating the right foods at the right time is essential for optimum health. That’s why meal plans are custom-designed in collaboration with the resident chef. They are carefully adapted to your specific needs, taking into account your preferences and appetites. There’s no recovery without pleasure, and patients discover how a healthy diet can help them regain a state of total well-being.
