flights
ibiza is well-served by a number of scheduled and budget airlines including british airways, iberia, first choice and easyJet. generally, the earlier you book the better the price.
transfers/car hire
the journey by road from ibiza airport takes around 30 minutes. a taxi should cost in the region of €30.00. rooms will be ready for occupation from 4pm on the day the retreat starts and you will need to vacate them by midday on the final day. if you wish to explore the island or venture away from the retreat centre more than occasionally, renting a car is recommended as ibizan public transport is rather haphazard. all the usual operators are based at ibiza airport, or you may wish to try the following local company recommended by the owners of the retreat centre: www.rentacarbk.biz. if you would be interested in sharing a taxi from the airport or a rental car let us know and will put you in touch with anyone else who wants to do the same.
insurance
please make sure that you are covered by appropriate personal travel insurance for the duration of the retreat.
