OUR STORY

The story begins in Ibiza, where we first met, dreamt big dreams and ran a successful rustic B&B together. Situated right in the heart of the island, it was here that we created a boutique private dining experience, under the stars, with chefs Boris Buono from Noma and Casper Gertsted Madsen. Both Chef started their culinary journeys in Copenhagen and naturally brought a Nordic twist to the Mediterranean menu - it was a match made in heaven.

At the same time we started running retreats. Both being accredited Deep Tissue Massage therapists and qualified Yoga teachers ourselves, this latest venture fitted in with our vision of providing healthy escapes for people, centred around sharing and natural healing experiences.

By combining healthy, organically sourced home-cooked meals with their B&B stays, massage, yoga, adventures around the island, meditation courses/classes – the seed of the lotus had been sown.

Retreats were the natural progression and culmination of years of passionate work and our ten-year journey confirms our ethos; “life is better when you’re able to give, inspire, share and serve others and be gratefully humbled by the process.” This was and always will be the driving force for our success in creating these important, life affirming experiences for our guests, clients and friends. Ourselves, still learning, growing, training and evolving along the way. So here we are, a decade down the line and the journey has been abundantly full of fabulous opportunities. It’s been a JOY to connect with and embrace friends and colleagues on similar, healthy and spiritual journeys and also to collaborate and produce with them.

Where are we now?

Over the past year we have built our first home and sanctuary in rural France. By bringing an ancient ruin back to life and offering flawless b’n’b and wellness experiences, we have realised our biggest dream: a home and business to live and create in.
