Elevate. ~ Wellness | Retreats | Community

We love to ask guests this question… ‘If you could go back in time to the week before the retreat, what would you tell yourself now to convince yourself to book?’ SO many of our Elevaters are retreat newbies. Often they really don’t know what to expect… many of them are actually a bit anxious about coming (check out our ‘Retreat Myths’ post for some of the reasons why) But invariably, they arrive in ibiza, and something shifts And actually by the end of their experience, they can’t believe the transformation ✨ How much of these stories resonate with you? #ibizaretreat #retreattestimonial #guestreviews

Meet Maija Carr! This incredible British-Finnish tapestry weaver based in Ibiza is our first resident creative facilitator for Elevate 🎨 Maija creates the most beautiful textiles from reclaimed and recycled local materials, weaving artful and powerful stories into her work ✨ Every piece is hand-made and often takes weeks to bring to life… This year, Maija is leading a gorgeous weaving workshop for our guests, set amongst the flower beds and the organic vegetable gardens of Soho Farmhouse Ibiza 🌸 Why? Because our guest feedback from previous retreats asked for some extra moments for pure ‘flow’ A moment without the pressure of the inner work or the physical transformation Just a space to create and be and let things land 🍃 We’re so excited for this collaboration 💜 #ibizaretreat #wellnessretreats #weavingart #handmade #reclaimed

Our May retreat is COMPLETELY sold out 11 incredible women from all over the world will be joining us in Ibiza next month for 5 days of restoration, deep inner work, physical exploration and transformational shifts ✨ Follow along for more insights into what they’ll be experiencing on retreat with us… And if you want to join us in 2026, we only have ONE ROOM LEFT for our October retreat DM for more information 📩 #ibizaretreat #wellnessretreats #soldoutretreat

What is acro yoga? It’s a partnership practice built on balance, communication and support - one person grounding, the other flying, both working together ✨ Through simple push + pull dynamics, you learn how to: 🤸 Trust someone else (and yourself) 🤸🏻 Let go of control 🤸🏽 Communicate without words 🤸🏾 Find strength through connection It’s not about being ‘good’ at yoga In fact, it’s a totally different skill - more like a dance than an asana practice It’s about showing up, trying, and laughing when you wobble 🤗 And somewhere in between… something shifts You feel more open, more connected, more in your feminine 🌸 Which is why, for some of the busiest working women who join us on retreat, it’s one of the most transformative practices at all 🙏 Check out our lead facilitator @leo_oppenheim for the top drawer acro wizardry 📸 #acroyoga #ibizaretreat #wellnessretreats

Some of these retreat myths are true - just not at Elevate Honestly we are asked some of these questions SO often 1. Is it only for fit people? No - we cater to all ages and fitness profiles on retreat, from pregnant women and people recovering from injury all the way up to Hyrox fanatics, marathon runners and athletes. There’s something for everyone! 2. Is it weird if I come alone? Again, ABSOLUTELY NOT. Over half our guests every year come solo and love it. With zero preconceptions at play, people often reach totally new levels of vulnerability and forge incredible friendships on our retreats. 3. Is it a restrictive diet? Many retreats will try and get away with feeding you just 2 meals a day, juice-only or plant-based diets, primarily to cut costs. But our functional nutritionists know that drastically switching up your diet overnight can cause serious problems. We serve 3 glorious chef-prepared meals every day with a massive focus on protein, flavour profile and macros. You’ll be blown away! 4. Is it 6am starts every day? No, we’re not a bootcamp and nothing is mandatory. We do some sunrise flows for those that want them, but many guests prefer to start their mornings slow with a coffee and their journal, or just a delicious lie-in! 5. Do I have to be ‘spiritual’? Spirituality has some mixed connotations these days. We sit at the intersection between science and spirituality, and only ask that you come with an open mind (but we also have plenty of fun!) 6. Is it basically just a holiday? No, and this is one of our biggest differentiators in the market. If you just want to do some light yoga and have a nice time, Elevate isn’t for you. We (inner) work hard, dive deep andunlock massive transitions. It can be crunchy, but there’s a reason our guests call it ‘the best week of my life’ What other retreat myths can we dispel for you? #retreatmyths #ibizaretreat #secretsauce #uniqueretreat

Gratitude isn’t just a mindset… it’s neuroscience at work Many guests join us on retreat and wonder how writing in a journal can possibly make their life better? The answer is in the neuroplasticity in our brains… Wha you repeatedly focus on (especially through a regular journaling habit), your brain strengthens 🧠 Gratitude journaling in particular activates serotonin and dopamine, training your mind to scan for what’s working in your life - not what’s missing. Over time, that shift compounds: 🍃 Deeper emotional resilience 🍃 Better stress regulation 🍃 Improved sleep 🍃 A quieter, steadier baseline This is why we build daily gratitude practices into our retreats (and beyond) And it’s exactly why we partner with @intelligentchange and their Life Designer journal - not just a beautiful notebook, but a structured tool grounded in behavioural science. It gently guides you to reflect, set intention goals, and reinforce the patterns your brain needs to actually change. Because even on the hard days - especially on the hard days - there is always something to anchor into. And that’s where the magic starts ✨ #wellnessretreats #ibizaretreats #journal #intelligentchange

The moment we read Charlotte’s poetry, we knew it belonged on our retreat Our guests are busy women who are often digging deep and navigating big changes and life decisions… So we knew how much Charlotte’s words would resonate We placed a new poem from Charlotte by our coffee maker each morning… And throughout the day we’d catch snippets of beautiful conversations that flowed as a result Every guest took a beautiful illustrated poem home with them in their goodie bag. And they still talk about it now 💜 Which is your favourite? #ibizaretreat #poetry #lifetransitions #lifecoaching

The movement component of our retreats isn’t your average bootcamp… We’re not about the burpees and tears No. Like every aspect of your Elevate experience, our movement pillar is highly curated 🍃 Our Head of Movement @scottwberry works with each guest individually to assess posture and mobility and to craft a strength and conditioning programme that is truly functional, and truly tailored to the individual In a nutshell, we’re teaching people how to age well And what they need to do physically to ensure that 💪 Hear from Scott on his top tips to build and maintain a healthy body, to recover well, and to age beautifully… #functionalmovement #chilltubs #ibizaretreat

Not many businesses can boast this kind of feedback ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️… Once you read it, it’s easier to see why people come back on retreat with us year after year We hold a very unique space for people facing big decisions, navigating life transition, and looking to unlock more abundance in their every day We’re about to sell out our May Ibiza retreat - only 1 place left in our gorgeous casita. Is it yours? Check out all our reviews here: 👇 https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZPh2GvD7ynPVC7nw6?g_st=ic #ibizaretreat #fivestarreview #wellbeingjourney

Sometimes people want to join us on retreat so badly, but in the end, they decide they simply ‘can’t afford it’ What’s interesting here is that, for most of these people, the idea of ‘cost’ is really a construct… They can afford it. They just see it as precisely that - a ‘cost’ An indulgence to ‘justify’. Or even a guilty ‘treat’. But what our guests quickly come to realise (especially those who return year after year, and pay for their place in careful instalments month after month)… …is that their Elevate retreat isn’t a cost at all. It’s an investment. Just like their gym membership or their nice dinners out with the girls. It’s an investment in their wellbeing - and more than that actually - in their elevation and sense of alignment and fulfilment in this fleeting, magical experience that is life. We whole-heartedly believe that we deliver more value than ANY other retreat on the market. The Times agrees (link in bio). And for 2026, you can experience it all (full programme, meals, accommodation, excursions and goodie bag) for little more than £300 a day. Even if this was just a holiday, it would be a no-brainer on the sums. Fortunately for you, it’s so much more than that… So what are you waiting for? (Only 1 place left for May 2026) #ibizaretreat #costorinvestment #selfdevelopmentjourney

I couldn’t believe these stats at first… But our muscles literally start to waste away once we hit our 30s And the wastage only accelerates with age There’s only one way to combat this (and it’s not spinning, yoga or Pilates) We need to subject our bodies to serious resistance And the only way to do that is with weight training We know that many people (women in particular) might find this nerve-wracking 😬 Will I look like a body-builder? 😬 How much do I need to do? 😬 Where do I even start? The answers are pretty easy: 1️⃣ No 2️⃣ 2-3 times per week is plenty 3️⃣ On retreat with us in Ibiza (as part of your personalised body assessment and movement programme) Keen to find out more?
