Sunset Mountain Ibiza Yoga Retreat is a wonderful place to enjoy the sun and nature in a stunning natural environment of mountains, blue sky and sea, to relax at the pool and deepen your yoga practice together with our teachers and other practitioners.

At Sunset Mountain Ibiza Yoga Retreat you can definitely enjoy traditional holiday activities such as relaxing under sunny skies, swimming, taking afternoon siestas or sitting at the swimming pool and watch the world go by. You can explore the surrounding foothills and the most amazing mediterranean sites. But most importantly there is always plenty of time to relax. Here the time is just a little bit slower but no less meaningful!

The purpose of our retreat is to assist you in the understanding of your true nature through the practice of yoga and deep immersion in a yogic lifestyle.

Our guests range from total beginners to the experienced practitioner, from the stiff to the super flexible. Yoga is a personal journey and you will be receiving instruction to suit your current level. Our yoga retreats are a great way to experience yoga for the first time, or for the more experienced it is an opportunity to deepen their practice.
Our guests come from many different backgrounds: lawyers, doctors, teachers, mothers, students, business people, retired, in between jobs etc. What is most important is that they are all just really lovely people!
Many of our guests travel alone and some guests come with friends or partners.

Sunset Mountain is a Hatha Yoga center. The classes are based on the Sivananda system. There are between 4 or 5 hour daily classes during the week (theory, asana, pranayama and meditation classes). Some of the classes are more physical and stenuous and some are more recuperative and relaxing.
All classes are optional. After all, this is a holiday, not a boot camp! It is fine if you decide to sleep or spend more time on the beach in the afternoon. A big part of yoga is listening to your body’s needs, and a holiday is also about rest and recharging.
Our kitchen is 100% vegetarian and we will provide you all meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner)

On the second day you will receive a free 20 minute massage with one of the best therapists of the island. It is possible to book extra massage sessions if you want to. At the retreat, we provide a large range of different therapies such as deep tissue, cranial-sacral, osteopathy, relaxing, Swedish, thai massage, heiki, sound massage, acupuncture, aura readings etc…

We can also organize excursions to the hippy markets or to other sites of the island you wish to visit.
One of our big priorities is to make you feel at home here from the first moment!
Ibiza has a unique climate. 300 days a year of sunshine, and an average day temperature of 23°.
