Ibiza Yoga Retreats FAQ

 

 

Where are your Ibiza yoga retreats held?

 

Our Ibiza yoga retreats take place in our beautiful, peaceful villa location in the North of the island in San Miguel. Our centre has been carefully chosen for its tranquillity, comfort and stunning natural surroundings. Our retreat centre is inland and the nearest beach is 8 minutes drive. We offer plenty of excursions, including guided hikes, paddle boarding and sunsets at Benirras Beach, a visit to the beautiful town of Santa Gertrudis and trips to the markets, so whether you wish to spend your days in between practices reading a book and relaxing around the pool, or taking off and exploring the best part of the island, however you wish to spend your ibiza yoga retreat, we have everything covered. 

​

How far away are you from the beach? 

​

The nearest beach to the venue San Miguel, is 8 minutes drive from the villa, however offer excursions to our favourite beach on the island Benirras which is a 10 minutes by taxi, where you can enjoy the day sunbathing, strolling the artisan markets, enjoying the Balearic vibes with a cocktail at the famous Elements, paddle boarding with our instructor Sarah or watching the iconic event each evening for the drumming at sunset. The price of the taxis are split between the group and work out at about 5€ each way. 

 

Who are the retreats suitable for?

 

Our retreats are suitable for all levels, from complete beginners to experienced yogis. Whether you're attending at retreat lead by Ananda herself or one of our guest teachers, they all offer modifications and variations so everyone can enjoy the practices at their own pace. 

 

We have students generally ranging from 30's up to late 60's, the retreats are ageless and the mix is what makes them even more special. Whether you're looking to come alone, with a friend or as a couple — many of our guests arrive as complete strangers and leave with connections for life.

 

Take a look through our google reviews via the homepage, they vary from absolute beginners to seasoned yogis, from all ages and backgrounds of life.... This will give you the best overview! 

​

What style of yoga do you offer? 

​

Our retreats are a blend of dynamic vinyasa in the mornings, complimented with breath work, kundalini, deep relaxation, and sound healing. The evenings are more restorative with yin yoga, meditations, yoga nidra's and more sound healing in the evening, all enriched with philosophy to deepen your knowledge and understanding of what yoga truly is. If you are after fitness yoga, I have to be honest, Ananda Yoga Retreats is not the place for you. 

​​

​

Do I have to take part in all activities?

 

Not at all. Our retreats are designed with freedom and flexibility in mind. You can dip in and out of any activities and practices depending on how you feel. Some guests love to join everything, while others use the retreat to rest, reflect and unwind — both are completely welcome.

​

Your chef Cesar Gastardelli, trained in Michelin restaurants, serves nourishing, delicious meals made with fresh, wholesome ingredients. Menus are mostly vegetarian with plenty of variety.
