Here's what our guests say
“It’s hard to put into words. It was such a special experience! For the first time in a long while, it feels like I’m standing firmly on the ground again. Not stuck in my head, but back in my body. What I’ve taken from this week is trust. Trust in myself and in everything around me. I stopped drinking alcohol effortlessly, without it even being a goal. I feel fit, fresh, and recharged every single day. I’m focused on the things that truly matter to me. Hans and Esther are incredibly wonderful people with so much experience — you can fully rely on them. On top of that, I met so many lovely people during the retreat. I’m deeply grateful to have been part of this. No one can ever take this away from me!”

“What an amazing week I had at the Akhila retreat in Ibiza. I was quite nervous about joining because of the plant ceremonies, but I haven’t regretted it for a single moment. I had no experience with plant medicine and usually like to stay in control of myself, so my fear was that I would lose that control. During both ceremonies I was able to remain in control, while still letting go and allowing whatever emotions came up to simply happen. The guidance in this was truly wonderful. They really look at each person individually and provide extra support where needed. A lot was released for me that week, probably also because I was genuinely ready for it. The full week program with yoga classes, breathwork sessions, and qi gong beautifully complemented each other. From the very first day the group felt very safe and familiar to me, which allowed me to be completely myself. The villa was also a lovely place for this retreat, and the meals provided were prepared with love. In short, I can highly recommend it to anyone ready to take the step toward becoming more of themselves.”

“The guides at Akhila truly have deep knowledge. They know exactly what they’re doing. Every word, movement, and approach is thoughtful and carried out with the best intentions. I also really appreciate how they bring in some humor along the way, which creates a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.”
- Claudia
“I find it remarkable, almost magical, how in such a natural way a group of strangers can grow so relaxed, safe, and even loving with each other during the yoga sessions, the hike, and the special ceremonies. This crew allows the natural flow to unfold, while being flexible, experienced, and open to feedback. For me, it was an enormous relief — clearing blockages and warming my heart.”
- Astrid
“For me, Akhila Retreat was an eye-opening experience and felt like a true inner transformation. The perfect balance of breathwork, yoga, nutrition, and plant medicine created a deeply healing process. Everything was carefully aligned, yet there was plenty of space for self-reflection and exploring the island. From day one, the natural setting felt warm and safe, thanks in large part to the loving and experienced crew. This immediately fostered a strong connection with the other participants — a bond that only deepened throughout the retreat. It was an emotional rollercoaster, releasing a lot along the way. I gained valuable insights that brought me closer to myself. I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone open to deep inner growth.”
- Michael
“Thank you for this wonderful week full of trust, openness, and friendship. I felt very safe in your community and was able to recharge my energy.”
- Patricia
“I found the Akhila Retreat to be a beautiful experience. I witnessed many wonderful transformations, with people opening up to the outside world again and taking the step from ‘surviving’ to ‘truly living.’ It was really special to be a part of that.”
- Annemarie
“What a wonderful week I had at the Akhila Retreat. A beautiful location right in nature, where you can truly relax. The group of people was very diverse, everyone was open, and the atmosphere was warm and positive. We were offered a varied program with yoga and breathwork every day. In addition, there was the option to book a healing or massage as a complement to the program. The ceremonies were all very different, which was beautiful to experience — showing how you can be both introspective and extroverted. The first ceremony was a personal, introspective journey, while the second ceremony was a shared journey, expressing emotions with the fire and with each other. Trusting yourself and, through sharing, feeling supported by others. And then the lovely organizers, who were always there for questions, guidance, support, or just a friendly chat. I’m definitely going again next year!”
- Martje
