Ibiza retreats to reset mind and body
Reboot under the sun after the summer excesses
What better way to visit Ibiza than a complete body and mind reset?
Summer is a time to relax but sometimes that means neglecting our diet and training, as it should be! Unfortunately, it's time to go back to real life.
Too many tapas and sangría on that trip to Playa d'en Bossa? Still recovering from your night out in Sant Antoni? Or you are just burnt out from work and need to reboot? Here is a short list of full-on detox programmes that will leave you as good as new before next summer.
Find your centre
Yoga is a big thing in Ibiza. Maybe because of the hippie influence that has permeated the White Isle's culture or perhaps because of the spiritual energy that is said to originate from the island, many yogis and their disciples find the peace and quiet they need to practice on the island. You can do just that at one of the many special workshops and courses organised throughout the island and focused on this oriental discipline. For example, The Wellness Source host Christmas, New Year and Easter women's retreats on the White Isle which include accommodation and full board as well as coaching and yoga and meditation sessions.
Awaken your senses
Located at the five-star Aguas de Ibiza hotel, the Revival Spa offers a really interesting selection of holistic treatments which combine massages and essences based on natural local products to help you leave all your worries behind. Choose between the 'Jet Lag Reviver' or the 'Stress Eliminator'. You will even benefit from access to the hotel's stunning spa area, as well as its gym. There are also fitness and weight-loss programmes at this hotel.
Reconnect with yourself
Cas Gasi rural hotel offers a complete yoga and Ayurveda retreat at their secluded country house near Santa Gertrudis. This bespoke programme includes personal one-to-one sessions with your therapist and yoga teacher, as well as yoga, Pilates or personal sessions followed by meditation, a massage each day and healthy meals prepared by their own Ayurveda chef with organic produce grown at the hotel.
Reset your body
Advertised as a "luxury health and fitness retreat", The Body Camp is a one or two-week holistic programme that targets not only fitness but also nutrition and mental balance. Not one day is the same and they reach their goals by combining hikes around Sant Josep, in the south of the island where the villa is set, with dancing, weight training, yoga, coaching, meditation and delicious healthy food. Celebrities like Mel C, Matt and Emma Willis, Lisa Snowdon, Rochelle Humes or Darren Kennedy have already tried it and the results are pretty outstanding.
Cleanse and detox
Healthy hangouts are super trendy on the island, perhaphs to balance all the partying that takes place in Ibiza's nightclubs, and The Skinny Kitchen is the hottest place to be right now. At their two locations in San Antonio, they serve energy-packed breakfasts, super clean lunches and drinks full of vitamins and proteins. Perfect to cleanse your body after the summer.
