Sant Joan de Labritja, Ibiza’s path to wellness
This May we took to the 2021 International Tourism Fair, Fitur, in Madrid, with our most recent tourism push. Titled “Sant Joan de Labritja, path to wellness”, the campaign packs a one-two punch of sport, health and family fun.
First there’s “Sant Joan de Labritja Natural Yoga”, where, in June, July, August, September and October, instructor and model Mireia Canalda will lead participants through yoga sessions in breathtaking settings and close contact with nature.
Classes are open to islanders and tourists alike and signups can be completed up to 15 days in advance by emailing naturalyoga@santjoandelabritja.com. Bring a mat and come ready to follow current public health rules. Sessions will be aired by local broadcaster TEFTV and on the YouTube channel of the Sant Joan de Labritja council.
Our goal is to showcase the municipality’s unbelievable landscapes, beaches, coves and lighthouses with a yoga series for participants of all stripes and from all walks of life. We believe in a different kind of tourism: one that’s environmentally-attuned, one that cherishes Ibiza’s natural spaces and gastronomy, and aspires to uncover the island’s true spirit.
We also spoke to crowds at Fitur about our new Family Loop Walks (Rutas Familiares Circulares) for visitors keen to tour the municipality on foot. Several one-hour outings have been planned, and each includes yoga instruction from a different instructor.
The first Ruta Circular was held Saturday May 15 and the next will take place June 12, starting at the steps of the Sant Vicent church. The series migrates to Sant Miquel on September 12 and culminates in Portinatx on October 17 with groups in the morning and afternoon.
Other Rutas include jaunts to the Sant Vicent sanctuary and to the harbour and village of Sant Miquel, several walks under the light of the full moon, a twilight rendezvous in Portinatx, a tour of assorted local fountains and a trip to Cala Xarraca.
