Day one will start with arrival at the villa from 4.30pm where you will be welcomed with refreshments and the chance to meet your new friends and your host, Sophie and the team. We shall then open the week with some intension setting, and a gentle, slow flow yoga class, preparing your mind and body for your week ahead.

After our first yoga class, we will enjoy supper and dessert by our legendary chef, Alissa.

Day two onwards will start every day with wake-up coffee or tea, followed closely by a fitness session on the beach or at the villa where we will work on our cardio and laughter skills ready to energise you for the day ahead. After the group workout we will enjoy a colourful and wholesome brunch and plenty of coffee!

After brunch you will have some free time to fill as you please. Before the week commences, we will suggest a list of activities that can be easily arranged for some or all of the group, from kayaking to e-bike tours, there’s a long list of things to do should you wish to adventure, or alternatively the villa is yours to relax in and enjoy.

On one of the days we will don our walking boots and adventure away from the villa on a guided hike to experience some of the islands most scenic views. On another we will enjoy an afternoon at one of our favourite beaches, with the chance to enjoy lunch out of the villa.

We will come together again in the late afternoon for tea and sweet treats made by Alissa, followed by a yoga flow tailored to the groups abilities, stretching out after the days activities and learning some new poses. Yoga will be followed by a delicious supper, with a nightly theme of vegetarian and plant based cuisines, with flavours and dishes inspired from The Middle East to Italy.

During the evening after dinner you have the chance to head to the local Hippie Market, one of the original and best markets on the island, still going strong after 40 years. What used to be a clutch of stalls run by hippies has evolved into a dazzling craft fair with a festival vibe with live music, food stalls, artists and many shopping opportunities. From handmade shoes, bags, and jewellery that characterise the Ibizan look.

Day six will be an earlier breakfast before we sadly part ways and say good bye. Check-out of the villa is 10am.

We understand that booking a trip so far in advanced can be a little daunting, especially during recent times with COVID-19 causing so much disruption to travel plans. So, we have come up with what we believe is the best way for you to book with confidence!

For all bookings for any of the 2024 and 2025 retreats, we aim to have a guest waitlist to assist with late changes and cancellations. Should you have to cancel your space on a retreat, we will do our best to fill your space. However, this is at our discretion and is not guaranteed.
