Boutique Yoga Retreat Announces New Getaways for the 2019 Season

Harmonic Escapes, which offers boutique yoga retreats in Ibiza, has revealed the dates of its 2019 events. The exclusive holistic retreats, which all feature a harmonic musical angle, are designed to delve deep into the world of yoga while also providing opportunities for guests to explore a wide range of alternative activities, such as dance, paddle boarding, walking and drumming. Active retreats are scheduled to take place in June and July, with walking retreats planned for later in the year as the weather starts to cool slightly.

The fun-packed getaways are all meticulously planned to create the perfect balance of energy and relaxation. With two daily yoga sessions led by yoga teacher Zarah Boden, lively activities such as paddle boarding and African dance, calming exercises like meditation and breathwork, and vibrant beach drumming at sunset, the retreats are designed to provide plenty of choice in how guests enjoy their getaway. All activities and sessions are optional, and guests are encouraged to relax, sunbathe, explore the island of Ibiza, and join in with the festivities at their own pace, on their own terms.

“We’re so excited to announce our new retreats, taking place in June, July, and October this year,” says Harmonic Escapes Founder Cynthia Micallef. “We’ve already seen how well our previous guests have responded to the sessions and activities on offer here in Ibiza. We’ve expanded on these to include even more opportunities to learn, grow, and try new things… or even just relax and enjoy a bit of Spanish sun!”

“We’re proud to have partnered with some of the best massage therapists and activity leaders on the island, so relaxing treatments and yoga continue to play a big role in our retreats, but it’s entirely up to each guest what activities they take part in”.

The luxurious Harmonic Escapes retreats feature delicious, nourishing meals with menus heavily inspired by local ingredients grown on nearby farms. Fresh juices, all-day snacks, brunch, dinner, and a daily glass of wine are included as standard at each retreat. Guests unplug and unwind in a peaceful villa in the unspoilt north of Ibiza featuring an 18 metre swimming pool, beautiful covered yoga deck and expansive natural surroundings which simply invite relaxation.

Harmonic Escapes will offer just three 6 night retreats for the 2019 season, taking place 6 – 12 June, 8 – 14 July, and 17 – 23 October, with the option to stay for an additional night if desired. Those booking in pairs will each receive a €150 discount.
