“I was genuinely surprised with how amazing I felt after leaving Mariposa, not only did my body feel greatly relaxed and also energised, but I left feeling lighter, and in a much clearer and more positive headspace. I absolutely loved my week at Mariposa, my room was beautiful as was the rest of the villa, everyone was lovely, and the view was incredible. I was worried about not being able to join in all the retreat activities due to injury, but Astrid and Jojo modified their exercises for me in group training and yoga classes to enable me to join in with the whole group. I was also concerned about the food as I have a number of allergies and intolerances, but the team were amazing and the private chef really took care of me to ensure I was eating a similar version to what everyone else had! Lucy who leads the retreat was really warm and encouraging and made you feel so welcome, and Sammi has great energy and creates a safe and calming environment for all guests. It was my first full week retreat experience and it definitely wont be my last. There is really something special about Ibiza, and Mariposa.”

“I wanted to come to Mariposa retreat just to kickstart my fitness as I’d fallen into bad habits and really wanted a weeks refresh with some intensive exercise everyday combined with intermittent fasting that I thought would be a great way to get into new habits. And to just enjoy beautiful Ibiza, sunshine and the amazing villa location. It was such a perfect week, a great combination with lots of effort with all the activity but then lots of relaxation, some wonderful relaxing treatments and just a really holistic and wonderful experience.”

“I came on the Mariposa retreat to really kickstart my fitness goals, I knew that this retreat was offering intermittent fasting which is something that I hadn’t personally done before, and lots of strenuous fitness activities with wonderful Astrid, who I met last year when I came on the first Mariposa retreat. So I jumped at the chance to have the opportunity to come again. And its been amazing and I definitely feel like I have lost weight, and just become more mindful in myself and I feel ready to carry on my fitness journey back in the UK.”

“It’s just been so amazing, it’s been beyond my expectations to come on Mariposa retreat. I came because I had never experienced anything like this, I felt like I needed a bit of a push to look after myself, I wanted to do yoga, start an exercise regime. And its been absolutely amazing! The fitness and the food, and I’m just inspired. It’s been kind of life changing to take what I’ve learned back to London and incorporate it into my life. It was wonderful to meet new people, its not just about doing it for yourself but being around people, the dialog I have had, and made new friendships. There’s so much I could could go on, it was such an incredible week and I absolutely will come again. Thank you Mariposa! Thank you so much.”

“This retreat was the best one I have ever been to and I have done a few now. Lucy was the best host and Jojo was an amazing meditation leader and yoga teacher. I had a wonderful healing session with Sammi which cleared a lot of old rubbish I was holding on to. To top it all off the food was freshly prepared and incredible. I would recommend this to anyone needing a relaxing healthy time.”
