Formentera: the “isla bonita” between yoga & horses

Day 1: Formentera

ITALY / IBIZA / FORMENTERA (-/-/D)
Small, yet extremely glamorous and exclusive, Formentera is part of the Balearic Islands, which also include Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza. With an area of just 83 km², it is the smallest of the group, located south of Ibiza, only 2 nautical miles away.
Nicknamed La Isla Bonita, Formentera boasts crystal-clear waters, long white sandy beaches, hidden coves, lush vegetation including pine forests, salt flats, dunes, and woodlands. Highlights include Es Pujols, known for its vibrant and stylish nightlife, and Sant Ferran de ses Roques, a famed hippie hub since the 1960s.
We are thrilled to offer four upcoming yoga and horse-riding retreats, two of which are reserved for experienced riders. These feature four breathtaking horseback treks through nature and along some of the Mediterranean’s most stunning beaches. Each retreat includes morning yoga sessions, healthy meals, and relaxation at a luxurious private villa nestled in nature, just a short walk from the beautiful Migjorn beach.

Upon arrival at Ibiza airport, you will make your own way to the port for the ferry to Formentera. Once on the island, our host Zara will pick you up for the transfer to the villa in Migjorn.

Day 2:

to 4: MIGJORN (B/L/D)
During your 3-day stay, each morning at 9:00 AM you’ll enjoy a yoga session led by certified instructors.
There will be two 1-hour rides, one 2-hour ride, and one 2.5-hour sunrise ride through the countryside and along white sandy beaches. Three rides will take place in the afternoon and one will be an early morning departure, allowing you to enjoy the cool sunrise breeze.
We’ll begin at the Ses Salines Natural Park, where—with a bit of luck—we may spot unique bird species and even flamingos. From there, we’ll reach the stunning Levante Beach, where the rising sun offers a truly magical atmosphere.
We’ll ride along this beautiful beach to Ses Illetes, voted one of the top 10 beaches in the world!

Meals will be freshly prepared by the on-site chef. You'll have smoothies before yoga, snacks in the afternoon, tea and coffee always available, a late brunch at 11:00, and a three-course dinner (alcohol not included). One evening includes a visit to the charming town of San Francesc, with dinner out (not included).
