Six days of food, food glorious food and a daily dose of yoga on the magical isle of Ibiza

18-24 September 2023
Can Planetas, Santa Eulalia, Ibiza

“Tess Prince is one of those people who will change the way you think about food, and eating, forever. Hers is a true celebration of island produce and heritage, creating dishes that are gloriously colourful, brilliantly textured, unapologetically healthy and deliciously decadent. Forget po-faced health-food here and instead indulge in endlessly creative dishes that taste fabulous, and make you feel even better. If I could magic myself to lunch on Tess’s terrace, overlooking the beautiful blue Mediterranean Sea, I’d do so this very second. And I’d do it with gusto! Drop everything and rush to this retreat immediately. You won’t regret it.”

Tara Stevens, Food Writer at Conde Naste Traveller, Olive, Food and Wine / Founder of Courtyard Kitchen in Fez

“Step into my world of wellness and take home new skills for a happy, healthy and enlightened life”
Tess Prince

“It has always been such a pleasure working with Tess over the years. The fabulous, delicious, nutritious and incredibly tasty creations have been such wonderful addition to my own retreats. Tess is such a talented chef, her food offerings are exceptional and it’s such a joy to work with someone so enthusiastic about the food and nutrition – knowing that my clients are so incredibly well looked after every time.”

It all starts from within

We all get stuck on the treadmill of life these days with little time for self-care. Well I’m now here to change all that with an opportunity to discover and learn my kitchen secrets in the stunning surroundings of Ibiza. But let’s get one thing straight – this retreat isn’t just for yogis who practise yoga on a regular basis, it’s for anyone who wants to feel the benefit of energising and balancing their body and mind.

My entire focus of cooking is about feeding your soul through food to revitalise, re-energise and boost the immune system to bring back balance and improve health. This retreat is a true game changer in combining internal happiness with nourishment. You will be armed with confidence in the kitchen with a new culinary prowess, incredible recipes and immeasurable life skills that you, your family and friends will all benefit from.

“Having Tess as a chef for my retreat was nothing short of amazing. She really has a magic touch with all she cooks, making dishes into a sensual experience, delicious in your mouth and enchanting to look at. Serving time felt like waiting for a fairy. And that’s Tess spirit, she arrives with a sassy smile and leaves with a trail of sparkles…it’s as if you have been visited by Tinkerbell.”

My Love Food Ibiza workshops

Suitable for all food lovers and beginners alike

From all of the yoga retreats that I have had the pleasure of cooking on, the biggest compliment I always receive is “If only I could eat like this every day of my life.”  Well now you can. I will be teaching you delicious, nutritious and fulfilling dishes to energise, nourish and satisfy you from the moment you rise until the end of your day. 

In my al fresco demonstrations and hands-on classes, you will enjoy preparing food, learning my practical tips and tricks before savouring the most delicious food that we have created together. With my appreciation and love of nature and the seasons, we will be using the freshest, most nutrient dense produce from the finest biodynamic, regenerative and organic farms of Ibiza. I will teach you how to transform these ingredients into exciting new dishes that will engage your senses as we dine against a backdrop of the shimmering Mediterranean Sea.

The food journey for the week

Join Tess for this fun and nourishing culinary adventure!

To cover a wide spectrum of wholefoods, I will be teaching a combination of vegetarian, raw vegan, refined sugar free, grain free and gluten free recipes – some of which will include local and ethically sourced organic eggs, goat and sheep cheeses.

I will show you how to prepare healthy breakfasts, learn about the power of superfoods, prebiotic and probiotics, hormone balancing food types (ideal for perimenopausal and menopausal ladies), sprouting, activating, fermenting, smoothie bowls, raw desserts and much more. You will get to ask questions as you prepare meals from start to finish.

Above all, these workshops are fun, relaxed, and practical. I always return to a simple equation; food made with love and good intention all tastes the best!

The power of prana

We will delve into the concept of prana; based on an ancient yoga diet culture where these foods nurture your body, mind and soul. Think nutrient dense foods, antioxidants, probiotics, healthy fats and oils that are all essential for healthy cell regeneration, the nervous system and hormone balance.

Never naughty just nice

It’s true to say that I have never met one person who doesn’t have a sweet tooth, thankfully raw vegan treats are a gateway to satisfy this craving – but with health benefits. Learning how to reduce our refined sugar intake should be our ultimate goal. Raw desserts rely on all natural wholefood ingredients that can actually provide vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Think of a velvety carrot cake, rich fluffy chocolate mousse and balls of bliss – everything is possible.

A gut full of happiness

Most of us have heard about the importance of gut health and maybe know the basics… but what’s all the fuss about? Gut health is not just about digestion. A happy belly affects everything from our mood, brain function, sleep, weight, allergies and immune system. Making sure we have a thriving gut is critical to this. I offer practical dietary and lifestyle tips to nourish and support your gut microbiome. It’s all about the 3 P’s – Prebiotics, Probiotics and Postbiotics – from kombucha, miso, kefir, pickling and that all important apple a day!

Marvellous Medicine

I will be teaching one of the most healing and cleansing recipes on the planet from the Ayurvedic yoga kitchen. We will also explore the full spectrum of foods that complement the Seven Chakras Root=Red, Sacral=Orange Solar Plexus=Yellow Heart=Green Throat=Blue Third Eye=Purple Crown=violet or white. Together we will prepare a picnic of dreams and we will eat the rainbow and be the rainbow!

“Tess catered for us at our Business Retreat in Ibiza and I can honestly say, it was some of the best food I’ve eaten – and I’m a big foodie! But it was so much more than the food (which genuinely was phenomenal). Tess is so knowledgeable about local produce, where it comes from, the benefits and nutritional value, how it grows… I found it really interesting learning about it all. To top it off, Tess is also the loveliest person. She is fantastic company to be with. I really enjoyed having her at our retreat and would love to invite her to any future retreats we host. I cannot recommend her highly enough”.

“Tess is total love – and the way she demonstrates it is through the magic she creates with her food. It’s her love language. Being lucky enough to eat Tess’s food is a feast of alchemy, wellbeing and creativity. Her passion is in every ingredient, its provenance and nutritional power. Not only that, she’s the most beautiful human who I feel topped up just being around. Quite simply, she makes every eating experience something so magical.”

Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Jo Youle

Jo has been living in Ibiza for over a decade. During her time previously in India, she worked with a New York choreographer to create a unique blend of music-led classes that focuses on the mind and connects the body and breath into a rhythm – similar to that of Vinyasa Flow, but with a twist! This class creates sequences that massage the fascial lines in the body which eliminates the “fuzz” that builds up between muscles and our fascia, joints and bones that forms blocks and restrictions. Jo likes to encourage more sensation and fluidity rather than the “aesthetic form” of what things should look like – giving you much more freedom to move in a way that feels amazing.

Mindful Flow with Daisy Jane

Daisy Jane was raised in Ibiza and is a passionate Yoga teacher and student, sharing her love of mindful and embodied movement. Drawing from eastern philosophy and modern movement culture, ‘Mindful Flow’ is a practice which is as meditative as it is physical. This class is inspired by various traditional yoga styles, as well as other modalities, such as martial arts and mobility training. Classes start slower – a chance to become present, connect to our breath, tune in, calm the nervous system. This class helps to open up and create space within the body and mind, and cultivating freedom in the way we move and breathe.

Ashtanga Yoga with Arlette Amouyan

Arlette’s background in dance brings a very intuitive knowledge of the body and movement. Her studies in Anatomy consolidates this deep and clear understanding of the bio mechanics of the physical aspect of Yoga. Ashtanga is traditionally the more dynamic type of Yoga and combines strength and flexibility. If you are a beginner, you will enjoy discovering a base of this powerful practice, whilst enjoying the more explorative aspect of a Vinyasa Flow. Sessions also incorporate breathwork and meditation techniques which always resulting with a blissfully relaxing ending!

Where every day is like waking up in paradise…

Situated on one of the island’s prettiest hills on the north east coast, you will be mesmerised with the uninterrupted views of white washed villages and glistening Mediterranean Sea stretching below. Our home for the week Can Planetas is without doubt one of the most breath-taking locations of natural wild beauty on the White Isle.

Immerse yourself in palm tree whispers, aromatic herb gardens and abundant fruit trees that this 200 year old finca provides you with. With heart aching sunrises, at Can Planetas you will be able to switch off from every-day life and relax in this spectacular countryside setting, where every day feels like heaven.

If the sunshine gets too hot, simply step into the large infinity pool set amongst the rustic finca’s olive and almond trees – a truly magical place to enjoy some much needed serenity and peace. Or if you fancy exploring during your time off in the afternoons, there are many beautiful beaches and coves within a seven minute drive by car.

La magia existe

The mystical island of Ibiza is known as the third most magnetic place in the world after the North Pole and Bermuda Triangle. Once a sleepy Mediterranean island, Ibiza is now recognised around the world as a destination for world class music, food, wellness and spiritual exploration. The general mantra on the island, no matter how you prefer to spend your time, is to celebrate life. Therefore it is THE perfect place to tune in and receive the abundance and feel its magical magnetism. A safe place to explore ourselves, to destress, recharge our batteries and reconnect to stunning Mother Nature around us.

“Tess was the dream addition to my Ibiza retreat. Her food is delicious, colourful, balanced and replenishing. It served to not only deeply complement, but amplify my work during the week. Tess’s entire process, from sourcing, through the making, right to presentation is done with such love and care that it’s truly nourishing on all levels. I’m forever grateful for this heartfelt food angel and her work”
