Host the Ultimate Ibiza Wellness Retreat at Can Frare
April brought a spectacular surge of life, movement, and joy to our luxury private villa as we hosted three highly successful fitness retreats. Organised by the brilliant team at AWOL Studio Ibiza, a premier fitness studio based in San Antonio, these four day events transformed our ancient finca into an energizing sanctuary of wellness and restoration. Just as we have cherished marking the beautiful weddings held at Can Frare over the years, we are thrilled to celebrate these incredibly successful health retreats that brought so much joy, connection, and renewal to everyone involved.
For anyone looking to escape the final stretches of winter, early spring on Ibiza offers a magical reawakening. The fresh Mediterranean air, the gentle warmth of the Balearic sun, and the natural serenity of our private estate provided the ultimate backdrop for these retreats. Over the course of four days, guests experienced a visible transformation, replacing the fatigue of the colder months with a lasting blast of positive energy and vitality.
Discover the Perfect Luxury Retreat Venue in Ibiza
Choosing the right setting is paramount to creating a transformative retreat experience. Can Frare, as one of the oldest and most carefully preserved historical properties on the island, offers a rare combination of luxury, complete privacy, and authentic Ibizan heritage. Set within twelve hectares of beautiful private land overlooking the majestic Bay of San Antonio, our luxury private villa naturally fosters a sense of peace and inspiration.
The estate features expansive outdoor spaces, a large beautiful wooden deck, and stone walled terraces that easily adapt to group activities. Whether holding a high energy class or a restorative meditation session, the space and peace of our private grounds allow guests to fully immerse themselves in the experience without distraction. It was a true pleasure to see the property utilized so beautifully, with every corner of the estate serving as a space for growth, sweat, laughter, and relaxation.
A Packed Schedule of Diverse Physical Activities and Yoga
The energy brought by the AWOL hosts was nothing short of spectacular, and their attention to detail shone through in a diverse, expertly crafted schedule. No two days were the same, with activities structured to challenge the body while simultaneously nurturing the mind.
Morning Grounding and Sunrise Walks
One morning started on a profoundly positive note with a serene sunrise walk. This allowed participants to ground themselves in nature and watch the soft morning light slowly illuminate the surrounding hills before the day truly began. “There is a unique magic to watching the morning sun paint the San Antonio hills, knowing your day starts not with stress, but with a peaceful walk through wild pine forests.”
Restorative Yoga on the Deck
Rebalancing yoga sessions took place on our shaded wooden decks. Guided by the gentle rustle of pine trees and the feeling of warm wood underfoot, these sessions helped guests stretch out winter tension and find deep physical alignment.
High Energy Conditioning and Boxing
Guests pushed their physical limits with outdoor strength workouts on our luxury green lawns, utilizing heavy sled pulls, kettlebells, and dumbbells. Energetic boxing classes under the wooden canopy brought high adrenaline, teamwork, and an incredible release of stress.
Exploring the Natural Wonders of Ibiza
The retreat experience extended far beyond the walls of our luxury private villa, encouraging guests to connect deeply with the breathtaking natural landscapes of the island. The AWOL team took full advantage of our prime location on the West Coast, taking the groups on unforgettable outdoor adventures that beautifully complemented the physical classes held at the villa.
Midway through the week, one of the major highlights was a three hour guided hike that wound through the fragrant pine forests directly above Can Frare. The trail led the group down to the crystal clear waters of Cala Salada, which is widely known as one of the most picturesque beaches in Ibiza. Here, the group enjoyed a fabulous, healthy packed lunch right by the sea, listening to the gentle lap of the waves.
To further enhance this coastal magic, another afternoon was dedicated to the ocean. Everyone got out on the water for a guided stand up paddleboarding session, experiencing the calming, meditative benefits of gliding across the glassy Mediterranean sea. These coastal excursions provided the perfect balance to the physical classes held back at the villa.
Wholesome Nourishment with Vibrant and Healthy Catering
A true wellness retreat requires nourishing food that fuels the body and delights the senses. We were incredibly impressed by the exceptional, wholesome catering provided throughout the entire retreat by the culinary experts at Rude Food Ibiza.
Every meal was a celebration of fresh, vibrant, and local ingredients, designed to support the physical demands of the active schedule. From beautifully seasoned salads featuring sun ripened local Ibizan produce and red onions finished with a rich balsamic glaze, to exquisite salmon and pickled onion tacos served on artisan tortillas, the food was as visually stunning as it was delicious. The attention to detail, immaculate presentation, and sheer passion for healthy gastronomy perfectly aligned with the luxury standard we pride ourselves on at Can Frare.
Final Thoughts on an Unforgettable Spring Experience
Hosting the AWOL retreats at our private villa was an absolute joy, and we were deeply impressed by the professionalism, warmth, and boundless energy of the organisers. Seeing the visible happiness, connection, and renewed zest for life in every participant reminded us exactly why Can Frare can be the perfect venue for a wellness retreat.
