Avalon

Barcelona & Ibiza, Spain

What is Avalon?

Avalon is a holistic healing centre in Barcelona and Ibiza (Spain), dedicated to self-discovery and profound inner journeys. Our retreats bring together the ancient wisdom of sacred medicines such as Ayahuasca, Magic Mushrooms, San Pedro, and Bufo Alvarius with modern practices of preparation, integration, and personalised care.

We follow a shamanic approach to the world of plant medicines, working with shamans from ancestral traditions of Brazil (Yawanawá, Huni Kuin, Mbyá Guaraní), Colombia (Kamëntsa, Kichwa, Pastos, Muisca, Cofán), and Peru (Quechua). Our mission is to create safe, contemporary, and refined spaces where participants can experience these medicines in the traditional Amazonian way.

With deep respect for ancestral knowledge, we complement it with tools that help non-indigenous participants gain the most from their experience and apply insights to everyday life. Preparation before the retreat builds confidence and clarity; our holistic programme introduces practices that foster wellbeing beyond the ceremony; and integration supports participants in maximising benefits while navigating any challenges that may arise afterwards.

Set and setting are two of the most critical factors in a psychedelic experience. At Avalon, safety and care are at the heart of everything we do. From the very beginning, participants are supported by a dedicated team, with a nearly one-to-one facilitator-to-guest ratio during retreats. Our team also includes a medical advisor, and we follow many of the safety guidelines recommended by ICEERS.

In adapting rituals that are not part of our own culture, we honour tradition while offering the highest level of comfort and beauty. This balance helps participants feel safe, surrender to the process, and embrace the full potential of a transformative journey.

    Dear Avalon family! From the bottom of my heart, thank you. This journey within — guided by Ayahuasca and held with such care by the incredible Avalon team and shamans — was truly profound. From the very first moment, I felt deep trust and safety, as if I was being gently carried through the entire process by experienced, compassionate hands. I was never alone. The venue itself radiates tranquility and grounding energy. Its peaceful surroundings created the perfect container for surrender, reflection, and healing. Every detail — from the space, to the program, to the way each ceremony and integration moment was thoughtfully held — supported the depth of this experience. I feel as if I moved a mountain within myself and closed a very painful chapter of my life. What unfolded went far beyond what I could have imagined. The structure of the program, combined with the additional offerings, allowed me to go deeper, softer, and more honestly into my own process. Next time, without hesitation, I would apply for every additional offering available — each one is a gift. I will never forget this experience, and I will remain forever grateful to people like you — who devote their lives and energy to honoring plant medicine, creating safe and sacred spaces, and helping others face their inner wars, release what no longer serves them, and find peace.🌈 Thank you for walking this path with such integrity, humility, and love. ✨🫀✨

    My journey with Avalon was deeply transformative. I felt held, supported, and never judged — even in my most vulnerable moments. The team created a profoundly safe and loving space where real healing could unfold. I experienced a true rebirth during this retreat, and I carry deep gratitude for the care, integrity, and presence of everyone involved. Avalon is not just a retreat — it is a family and a sacred container for transformation.

    Honestly, I’m no beginner to ancestral medicines and shamanic processes, but what I experienced with Avalon, the depth of sincere love and care, is something I had never felt before. The journey was awe-inspiring and left me transformed for the better. I cannot thank them enough; these are people who genuinely want to elevate the world. The organization is spotless, the lady Shaman was exceptional, and lastly the food was absolutely delicious. Thank you Avalon, you truly are Love.

    My experience at Avalon was incredible. From the moment you arrive you can feel the love, care and detail that is put into every element of your stay. It's a lovely, spacious location with a lake, trees, hammocks, horses and more. There are various activities you can choose from such as yoga, massage and dance in addition to the ceremonies. They also have an amazing chef Maria who plans out chromatic meals each day based on the colors of the chakras. It was an incredible experience that I would recommend to anyone. The entire team made me feel incredibly welcomed, loved and cared for. Big thank you to Alejandro and everyone at Avalon!

    It’s hard to put into words how amazing this place is. It’s totally not just the Ayahuasca ceremonies it’s the setting, the food, the activities, all the different alternative therapies on offer aswell as the people who run this place / work here are some of the most kind and loving people you will ever meet. I was very nervous & apprehensive about the aya ceremonies but I felt very safe and supported at all times. I had 1 ceremony that was particularly intense & Maggie sat with me for what felt like hours doing energy healing & supporting me through a very tough process. It’s a deep and heavy experience but it’s also full of love & laughter. The team here are great and I mostly had a permanent smile on my face the whole time & I am no longer scared of psychedelics I also did the Bufo which I can only describe as going to heaven for 15 minutes. It was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. It’s not a silver bullet to immediate perfection but i would say it’s one of the most healing experiences of my life & the intense night was like releasing 40 years of sadness so I now totally understand what they mean when they say it’s like 20 years of therapy in one night. I struggle to believe that there is a therapy out there that could go that deep and get that much sadness out of you. The shaman & facilitators were such beautiful people, you get a serious amount of love at this place ❤️ If your considering going to Avalon don’t hesitate just book it, you won’t regret it ❤️

    Life Changing! I participated in the men’s retreat with San Pedro and a Mushroom ceremony in Ibiza. The facilitators from the beautiful Avalon family were always supportive and generous with their time and love. The lodging, the food and the nature in Ibiza was magical. I felt it was a privilege to be able to experience such powerful energy filled with love and hope for my future.
    With so much love and gratitude…Marcus.

    My most recent visit to Avalon for the mushroom ceremony was an exceptionally enriching experience. Held in a controlled and safe environment within the city, this ceremony provided a profound experience in a comfortable setting.

    Benjo, the ceremony guide and musician, along with Marc, Junior, and Ana, created an enchanting musical atmosphere that deeply resonated with the essence of the ceremony. Their music enriched the ceremony with melodies that perfectly harmonized with the environment.

    During the Ayahuasca retreats at Avalon, the cuisine, led by the chef, was a highlight. Her unique “color of the day” approach added an extra dimension to the experience, with delicious and nutritious dishes reflecting the thematic color of each day.

    The masseur provided exceptional treatments, offering a deep relaxation experience. The yoga instructor guided sessions that helped balance body and mind, while the coaches and psychologists offered invaluable support, aiding in processing and integrating the retreat experience.

    I would like to especially thank the entire team behind the retreats; their dedication and care were key to the experience. Additionally, the presence and availability of Alejandro were highly appreciated, adding immense value to the experience.

    The luxury facilities at Avalon perfectly complemented the entire experience, providing a comfortable and soothing space for personal reflection and rest.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Avalon to anyone seeking a deep and transformative spiritual journey. Every detail, from the music to the food, facilities, team support, and wellness services, is designed to enrich the personal and spiritual experience of the participants.

    Mi experiencia en Ibiza con Avalon superó todas mis expectativas. Fue la primera vez que asistía a una ceremonia chamánica y desde el primer momento me hicieron sentir seguro en el proceso.
    Supuso una experiencia reveladora y doy gracias con todo mi corazón a Benjo, a todo el equipazo de facilitadores y a mis compañeros.
    La organización fue genial y la ubicación un sueño.
