Villa Maecenas

At The Maecenas Project, guests take part in a range of activities throughout the day encompassing physical exercise, contemplation, rest and instruction in a variety of intellectual and artistic pursuits.

Art, music, literature, culture and personal development are at the heart of what The Maecenas Project has to offer.

Whilst relaxing and rejuvenating through a programme of hiking, yoga and other exercise formats our guests also participate in specially tailored teaching courses over the week of their stay, the topic of which will vary from week to week, providing a retreat for the intellectually curious and to inspire personal and spiritual development.


The retreat has been comfortably furnished throughout and can accommodate up to 12 guests at any one time.

Much of the food we eat comes from our own organic kitchen garden and orchard, and other products are sourced locally. The property is also equipped with a screening room, library, art studio, spa facilities, a swimming pool and plays home to a dog sanctuary nearby that cares for some of Ibiza’s homeless hounds. The construction and decoration of the retreat is focussed on local materials and artisanal work designed with sustainability and the environment in mind.

A typical day at The Maecenas Project starts with early morning yoga, followed by a healthy breakfast and an optional hike in the surrounding hills. Guests can then participate in the talks and lessons of the day, make use of the art and reading facilities or simply relax.

Meals are taken as a group and gusts are encouraged to attend all meals during which there may be a talk or discussion on the topic of the week. Massages are available daily for all, and the day finishes with evening yoga and dinner before an early bed.

The Maecenas Project combines serenity with mental and physical stimulation, aiming to inspire healthy living, spiritual development, connection with nature and relaxation.

Whether you come to simply relax and rejuvenate or have a specific goal in mind we welcome you to our community with an open heart and the desire to please.
