A new era of elevated wellness is arriving on the shores of Ibiza this summer, as Anna Lewandowska brings her globally recognised Kick the Barre method to Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay for an exclusive three-night retreat.

Taking place from 31 May to 3 June 2026, the immersive experience promises more than just fitness, it’s a full-body, mind-reset designed for the modern woman seeking strength, balance and restoration, all set against Ibiza’s effortlessly luxurious backdrop.

A New Movement in Modern Wellness

At the heart of the retreat is Kick the Barre, Lewandowska’s signature training concept that reimagines traditional barre. Blending the precision and elegance of ballet with the dynamic power of martial arts, the method introduces a distinctive “kick”, creating a workout that is as empowering as it is effective.

Low-impact yet high-intensity, the programme focuses on core stability, muscular endurance, mobility and coordination, aligning perfectly with the growing global shift towards sustainable, body-conscious fitness.

Lewandowska, a three-time world karate champion and founder of Barcelona’s Edan Studios, has built a global following through her approach to movement, one that champions strength without strain and confidence through control.

As she explains:“From the very beginning, Kick the Barre has been about quality, precision, and experience. Bringing this concept to Nobu felt like a natural match. Together, we’re creating something truly special for our community.”

Where Fitness Meets Barefoot Luxury

Set within the refined surroundings of Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay, each day unfolds in rhythm with the island. Think sun-drenched beachfront workouts, where movement meets mindfulness, followed by moments of indulgence and restoration.

Guests can expect a curated schedule of sessions including:

Kick the Barre Pure – technique-led, precise and controlled
Glutes – sculpting and strength-focused
Total Body – fluid, full-body conditioning
Strong – endurance-driven, high-energy training

Beyond the studio, the retreat leans into holistic wellbeing. Mornings begin with breakfasts at Chambao by the Beach, while post-workout recovery is supported by organic juices and adaptogen blends sourced from local farms.

Downtime is equally intentional, with signature spa treatments and advanced biohacking experiences designed to restore both body and mind.

Ibiza, Reimagined

This is not just about movement, it’s about connection. Guests will have the opportunity to explore Ibiza beyond the expected, with a guided hike through the island’s hidden landscapes, offering panoramic coastal views and a deeper sense of place.

Evenings bring a shift in energy, from a signature omakase dinner at Nobu to a relaxed farewell lunch by the sea, each moment thoughtfully curated to balance wellness with pleasure.
