THE LOCATION The Body Camp Ibiza’s idyllic hideaway is in the south of the island. Guests stay at a luxurious villa with pool and views of the sea and surrounding hills.

THE IDEA Holistic week-long retreats for body and soul combining fitness sessions such as beautiful island hikes, boxing and circuits with elements of mindfulness, yoga, guided meditation and life coaching.

THE VIBE Forget military-style instructors and dietary preachiness. The motto is positive vibes only with an emphasis on fun and a group can-do mentality. Check it out on Instagram @thebodycampibiza.

ON THE MENU ‘Putting the right food into your body is vital for a healthy lifestyle and any sort of transformation,’ says executive chef Ben Whale (above with Body Camp pup, Dude). ‘We’re 80 per cent plant-based on camp and our food is one of the things guests say they love most about coming to the retreat. I’m proud of that and super-excited about our new cookbook which captures the essence of the camp experience and makes what we do available to everyone.’
