Maxi Nutrition’s Ibiza Challenge: Health & Fitness experiences
You may know Ibiza as the clubbing mecca of the world. But it’s most recent evolution has seen it become the ultimate choice for those seeking to combine health and fitness experiences in a chilled vibe.
Take a look below at some of the programs offered:
Bennirrás
Bennirás is a beach on the north of the island, known for its sunsets and unique hippie drumming rituals on Sundays. The part-sand, part-pebbles beach has crystal clear water and views towards Cap Bernat, an interesting rock formation, also known by locals as the hand of God. Sunday’s can be very busy, so get their early if you want to grab the best spot.
Can Marcà Cave
For a completely different Ibiza experience, travel to the north of the island and explore the Can Marçà cave, cut inside a cli in Port de Sant Miquel de Balansat and dating back about 100,000 years. You can see the stalactites and stalagmites during a 40-minute tour that ends with a light show at the cave’s magnificent waterfall.
Yoga
Ibiza is a paradise for yoga lovers! Many of the hotels o er their guests yoga but there are also lots of private teachers who can visit villas and apartments to give lessons. Ibiza Retreats offers a drop-in yoga option all through the summer months. You can experience two hours of morning yoga with two teachers followed by a post-yoga super smoothie or juice, and you can even choose if you want to stay for a healthy brunch. ibizaretreats.com/yoga-with-ibiza-retreats
