Eivissa is insolent, fresh and fun, but, beyond the usual clichés, there is another Eivissa that is calmer, less bustling and more bohemian, one that allows you to connect and revitalize the senses blocked by a frenetic life.
In the north of the island, facing the deep blue waters of Cala Xarraca, the island invites us to take a break and rest away from the daily noise at Six Senses Ibiza, a resort spread over an eight-hectare estate that has 116 suites. , a collection of 21 private villas, including 19 residences and two mansions, in addition to offering respite in an infinity pool with sea views, a 1,200 square meter spa dedicated to well-being and five gastronomic spaces to savor the island's culture . Not in vain, this year, it has entered The World's 50 Best Hotels 2023 list, which rewards the best 50 hotels in the world.
An establishment designed to rest throughout the year and return home with a calm mind and healthy body. Their offerings encompass a wide variety of transformative retreats, unique experiences and services related to physical and mental healing, nutrition and longevity. It is a different journey in search of personal happiness.
And coinciding with the cool season, from November 2 to 5, some of the best-known experts in the world of personal growth and physical training will meet at the second edition of Alma Festival, which this year adopts the theme: "In search for unity and human connection.
Three days in which spirituality, well-being and connection between people will be the leivmotif of the meeting, in which participants will be able to carry out all kinds of activities designed to “nourish the body and celebrate the soul.”
The hotel will bring together a varied group of experts and healers with a very complete program, where very different therapies will be worked on, from pilates with the creator of the Spa-Porter platform Bryony Deery and sound healing sessions with Tibetan bowls, conscious breathing, to workshops tantra with the international teacher Santoshi Amor, motivational talks and nightly dances with the DJ and musical curator Jaime Fiorito, among other beneficial proposals.
The hotel's gastronomy is also a sensory experience in itself. Excellent recipes, mostly made with local and fresh products (many of the vegetables are picked from the resort's organic garden near Santa Gertrudis), which are part of Six Sense's sustainability philosophy. The day begins with breakfast at the Farmers' Market, a space that transforms as the day goes by, healthy brunches at midday and cocktails in the afternoon; Among fruit trees, The Orchard restaurant prepares tasty Italian food cooked on a grill, with freshly caught seafood and the best meat on the island; At North by Eyal Shani (open from May to October), the protagonists are Mediterranean-Israeli flavors, and The Beach Caves terrace, facing the bay, perfectly combines music and food with Latin American influences. An organic and delicious proposal.
The festival aims to offer the tools to make an internal change. “Every change has two faces. What you have to give up. And what you have to earn. Focus on the first and you will feel pain. Focus on the latter and your life will not be the same” is what Light Watkins, a meditation teacher and best-selling writer participating in the event, recommends.
