Recharge and unwind on the magical island of Ibiza. Whether you’re at a crossroads or simply in need of a reset, our transformative retreat offers the perfect space to relax, reflect, and rejuvenate. Surrounded by nature in a beautiful villa, you’ll unplug from daily stresses and nourish your body and soul with yoga, meditation, breathwork, and personalized nutrition.
We will be rebalancing the body and mind connection through movement and the flow of breath, reconnecting our inner worlds to the world around us. Through our daily asanas and body work we will strengthen and realign our bodies.
And through gut healthy nutritiously designed food and individualised nutrition assessments we will allow the flow of energy to both cleanse and rejuvenate our digestive systems.
This is more than just a yoga retreat, this is a healing transformational week to help destress, detox and re-balance your body nutritionally, physically, mentally and spiritually, helping your soul to shine.
Location & Venue
The ‘white island’ is simply enchanting and glowing at the start of the season in May. The beaches are heavenly and less crowded, the water is warm and the island has an atmosphere of peace away from the busy-ness of the summer months. We invite you to receive the transformative power and high vibrations of the Scorpio island, unlike any other place in the world, with us looking after your every need.
Our May 2025 destination is a luxurious 5 star villa located in the south west of the island in Es Cubells. You are in for a treat with this one with a breathtaking 25 metre pool, indoor gym and stunningly designed luxury nature surroundings.
Our beautiful haven is close to some of Ibiza’s most beautiful sunset beaches such as Es Torrent and Cala Jondal, with many more close by and some wonderful hiking tracks too. All beaches are surrounded by Ibiza’s natural beauty where you can find small hidden coves with transparent paradisiac waters.
We invite you to receive the transformative power and high vibrations of the Scorpio island, supporting your personal journey in a space of openness with us looking after your every need.
Our villa has the most peaceful healing energy, you will feel like you have escaped from it all with total stillness and serenity surrounded by stunning nature, oceans and mountains with nothing but the sounds of birds singing around you.
It is very common for lifelong friendships to blossom during Samadhi Soul retreats due to the positive energy and magical vibrations of our stunning retreat venues
Yoga
We (Mays & Scarlett) will hold space for you throughout the retreat inviting you to move into a safe, effective and therapeutic yoga practice.
Tapping into the transformative energies that the island of Ibiza offers, we go back to basics and engage with the opposing elements of masculine, feminine, yin and yang, sun and moon, heating and cooling. Working to synchronise movement with breath we invite more harmony and balance into our bodies and souls.
Our yoga is suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced yogis. If yoga is quite new to you we will make sure you can access the postures with modifications suited to your level and if you are a long time practitioner we will give you some extra coaching to take your practice to the next level.
Morning sessions
We will start every morning with a dynamic yoga practice based on elements from ashtanga vinyasa to activate your physical and energetic bodies.
Using breathing techniques such as pranayama and meditation, we will support you to balance your physical, energetic, emotional and mental bodies. Most importantly we will ensure that the morning sessions are a fun way to engage with yourself on many levels, experimenting with different styles of yoga.
Afternoon sessions
In the afternoon we enjoy a different flavour of relaxing practices that allow us to tune into and balance our emotional and mental levels.
Meditative yin and hatha sessions are your invitation to slow down and cultivate a loving and gentle attitude to yourself.
Throughout the week we will explore practices that open and release at the level of the heart centre. Taking time to tune into how and what we are feeling whilst cultivating more appreciation and gratitude towards ourselves.
Evening yoga nidra sessions
The evening practices will be a beautiful and nourishing time to integrate the experiences of the day into our system helping to send us off to a blissful sleep.
Yoga Nidra or yogic sleep is a very special practice in which we introduce the seeds of change into our subconscious to support positive and beneficial transformations.
If there is some habit or addiction that you are working to eliminate from your life, this practice could be the key to long term change and healing. Research has proven that yoga nidra practises can help to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, improving sleep and mood disorders.
Nutrition
Complementary nutritional consultation
This retreat is all about addressing individual needs on all levels with nutrition being a hugely important aspect. As a fully qualified nutritionist as well as yoga teacher Mays will provide every guest with a 30 minute nutritional consultation.
Whether you have digestive issues, fatigue, brain fog, stress, anxiety, insomnia or any other chronic conditions, every guest will receive personalised nutritional advice to help learn how to make long lasting lifestyle changes, regaining vitality, with tools to take home to move towards living life the Healthy Mays way. Mays will also hold group nutrition talks to explain her top tips for health and vitality.
Breathwork and Hypnotherapy
Complementary breathwork or hypnotherapy session
With over 20 years of training and experience as a holistic therapist Scarlett will be offering each participant a 30 minute holistic massage session.
Trained in many different healing techniques and disciplines Scarlett is skilled in a range of different treatments. Whether you have a specific injury or you simply want to destress Scarlett will give you a wonderful session of healing according to your needs.
Soul Nourishing Food
Food is life. What we put in our body directly impacts on our health and wellbeing. We will be eating healthy, plant based, gluten free, nutritious meals that will replenish and invigorate, filling us with energy and increasing our life force.

Testimonials
I had an AMAZING retreat in Ibiza. Mays is a fabulous host, yoga teacher and all round gorgeous human. The retreat was very healing and full of nourishing experiences and food with outstanding healthy meals. I feel renewed, full of strong energy and ready to take anything! Thank you!! April, UK
Absolutely incredible soul restoring happiness boosting retreat in Ibiza. The set up was so slick, the yoga brilliant absolutely loved every second and felt so well looked after and healed. Lovely group too. Thank you Mays! Alicia, UK
No words can describe how I felt after Mays retreat in Ibiza. So nourishing for the soul and body which has helped me kick start my healthy regime heading back into normal life. The villa was stunning and the food out of this world. The extra little touches made it even more special- SUP yoga, ecstatic dance, massage, cacao sound healing ceremony and nutrition advice with plenty of time for ourselves. Thank you Mays and can’t wait for the next one. Mark, London
Everything Mays had planned was perfect, whether it was: – The 3x daily yoga/meditation classes that enabled me to deepen my practice and improve in a short amount of time – The delicious food and focus on gut health – All the other special activities (cacao ceremony, sound healing, SUP yoga, ecstatic dance etc) Mays’ retreat struck the perfect balance between a busy and exciting schedule and time to explore Ibiza on our own. It was an amazing holiday and a great opportunity to take some time for myself. Thank you so so much Mays! Marie-Anne, Paris
It was a very last minute decision to join Mays at the retreat in Ibiza but I am so glad I did! A beautiful peaceful environment, thoughtful guidance and amazing food all contributed to me leaving feeling rejuvenated in body and mind. Thank you so much, I will be back! Eleanore, London
I had an amazing experience on Mays’s Yoga retreat in Ibiza. I love the way she teaches and encourages. She has left me completely addicted to yoga. I was not eating enough protein, which Mays spotted, and now I feel so much better on a daily basis from the diet & lifestyle changes she suggested. Thank you Mays, you have changed my life. Clive Chaud, London
I really enjoyed Mays’s advice and help on my dietary habits during a recent yoga retreat. I am not a vegan nor a vegetarian, so it was really enlightening to learn about eating different types of delicious foods and how to tweak my own nutritional habits in order to address different issues such as supporting the immune system, incorporating additional proteins and much more. A truly life changing and yummy experience including wonderful yoga too. Thank you Mays! Valentina Carlet, London
I was looking for a yoga retreat of which the yoga was amazing but I also got the added bonus of nutritional therapy and 6 days of delicious and satisfying vegan gut healthy themed food prepared by a chef on site & designed by Mays. Mays is very helpful in assessing your current diet and making suggestions to supplement your eating plan. I found I was not getting enough protein when eating vegetarian and made some changes which have left me feeling more satisfied. Her approach is not to make you feel you are eating ‘wrong’ but to help you eat ‘right’ for your own body’s needs. Thank you Mays!!! Elaine Corral, Austin Texas
Everything was incredible! From the twice daily yoga, to the unbelievable vegan meals (menu curated by Mays!) . I had a nutrition consultation with Mays on the retreat which I found so helpful and have come back inspired with ideas of how to eat more healthily. Mays really knows her stuff :-) Daisy Collinge, London
