    About This Practice

  • Ibiza Yoga Retreat specializes in curated wellness experiences that blend physical yoga practice with emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Unlike standard fitness camps, these retreats are designed as 'sanctuaries' for deep rest. They are particularly suitable for international tourists and expats because the primary language of instruction is English, and the environment is tailored to Western wellness expectations.
  • Key services include Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, guided meditation, pranayama (breathwork), and specialized workshops in holistic health. The practice emphasizes a non-competitive atmosphere, making it ideal for both beginners and advanced practitioners.
  • Facility & Team

  • The retreats are held in high-end private villas across the island, such as the renowned 'Can Negret.' These facilities typically feature outdoor yoga platforms, salt-water pools, and expansive Mediterranean gardens.
  • The team is led by Larah Davis, a certified yoga teacher and holistic therapist with over 20 years of experience. The staff includes professional plant-based chefs and guest instructors specializing in various wellness modalities. All practitioners hold international certifications relevant to their fields.
  • What to Expect During Your Visit

  • The patient (or guest) experience is structured yet relaxed. A typical day begins with sunrise yoga and meditation, followed by a communal organic breakfast. Afternoons are often free for therapies, hiking, or beach visits, concluding with a restorative evening session.
  • The booking process is handled via the website or direct email, with a pre-arrival questionnaire to tailor the experience to individual health needs or dietary restrictions.
  • Location & Accessibility

  • While the exact villa location is provided upon booking to maintain privacy, the retreats are generally located in the tranquil northern or central parts of Ibiza (near Santa Gertrudis or San Lorenzo).
  • Most retreats are located in rural areas; therefore, the organizers typically provide airport transfers. For those wishing to explore, car rental is recommended. Accessibility varies by villa, but many traditional Ibicenco homes have uneven terrain and stairs; guests with mobility issues should inquire specifically about ground-floor accommodations.
  • Why Tourists Choose Them

  • The primary draw is the 'authentic Ibiza' experience—reconnecting with the island's spiritual roots rather than its nightlife. The combination of high-level English instruction and luxury villa living makes it a top choice for the UK, German, and Scandinavian markets.
  • Safety & Standards

  • The retreat adheres to high hygiene standards, especially regarding food preparation and shared spaces. While not a medical clinic, the instructors are trained in physical safety to prevent yoga-related injuries and maintain a network of local private doctors for any guest emergencies.
  • Booking & Practical Info

  • Appointments for full retreats must be booked weeks or months in advance via the website. Typical costs range from €1,200 to €2,500 depending on room occupancy. Payments are usually accepted via bank transfer or credit card.

    Tourist Information

    Booking is primarily done through the official website (ibizayogaretreat.com) via an inquiry form. Staff are fluent in English and Spanish; English is the official language of all retreats. Most practitioners are British or international expats. Advance booking is mandatory; same-day 'walk-ins' are not possible as these are residential programs. For medical emergencies, the retreat staff assists guests in contacting private clinics or the main hospital (Can Misses). Payment is required in advance via bank transfer or online payment gateway. Travel insurance is highly recommended as deposits are often non-refundable. Detailed medical reports are not standard, but dietary and physical health summaries can be provided if requested for your home practitioner.

    Insurance Information

    Ibiza Yoga Retreat is a wellness provider, not a medical clinic, and therefore does not accept Spanish Social Security (Seguridad Social) or the EHIC card. Private medical insurance typically does not cover yoga retreats unless categorized under 'preventative wellness' by premium international policies. Guests are advised to take out comprehensive travel insurance that covers 'activity cancellations' and 'private medical repatriation' for peace of mind. Pricing is transparent and all-inclusive, meaning there are no hidden out-of-pocket costs for the services listed in the package.
