Thanks to the retreat I improved quite a lot in Pilates.
The mix of activity, sport, good food, great people and relaxation was perfect.
A premium small-group Reformer Pilates retreat in Ibiza combining expert guidance, personalised attention, strength-focused movement and meaningful recovery. Led by Geneva-based Comprehensive Certified Instructor Marie-Laure Freshard, who brings over 12 years of experience in Reformer Pilates, strength-focused movement, and personalised teaching.
This Reformer Pilates retreat in Ibiza combines strength-focused sessions with precise, personalised coaching in a luxury Mediterranean setting.
Core Reformer Pilates offers semi-private Reformer sessions delivered in pairs (maximum two participants per class) in Ibiza, focused on improving posture, building core strength, creating better muscular balance, and developing safe, intelligent movement.
Located on Ibiza’s southwest coast in Spain, within walking distance of Cala Vadella beach and the iconic Es Vedrà viewpoint, the retreat setting provides the ideal conditions to train mindfully, recover deeply, and stay focused.
The modern villa serves as your private retreat setting: a contemporary space with sea views, open training areas, a rooftop terrace, and a pool for active recovery. Designed for privacy and focus, it allows you to train without distraction while enjoying the Mediterranean surroundings.
The Training Approach
Each day includes expertly guided semi-private Reformer Pilates sessions led by Geneva‑based Comprehensive Certified Instructor Marie‑Laure (12+ years of experience).
The program combines:
-
Strength-building sequences
-
Core strength and stability
-
Dynamic jump board sessions
-
Mobility and controlled flexibility training
-
Restorative precision-based stretch sessions
Sessions are thoughtfully structured to build progressively over the retreat while respecting your body and individual needs. Unlike many wellness retreats in Ibiza focused primarily on relaxation, this Reformer Pilates retreat combines focused movement with meaningful recovery.
With only four participants, you receive close personal attention, thoughtful progressions adapted to your level, and tailored adjustments to help you move with confidence.
This retreat is designed to help you:
-
Build core strength and stability
-
Improve posture and overall balance
-
Develop full-body strength
-
Move with more control and confidence
Strength and Recovery
Recovery is an essential part of the experience and includes:
-
60-minute full-body Ayurvedic massage designed to promote deep relaxation
-
A guided coastal hike to Cala d’Hort, taken at a relaxed and enjoyable pace, with time to enjoy the views of Es Vedrà.
-
A 60-minute guided stand-up paddle session to enjoy the sea while gently building balance and coordination.
This combination of focused movement and recovery helps you feel energised, balanced, and supported throughout the retreat.

I enjoyed most the overall harmony of the retreat, it offered not only deep physical relaxation through coordinated bodywork, but also a sense of spiritual well-being nurtured by a caring, welcoming atmosphere. Marie-Laure made us feel completely at home, which made the experience truly exceptional."
