The island of Ibiza is fast becoming the yoga capital of Europe and leading the way is a retreat behind beautiful Benirras beach.

Ibiza Yoga offers beginner and general yoga courses from May to October with prices including seven nights' accommodation, three hours of yoga a day and vegetarian brunch.

Living quarters vary from pagodas and teepees set on the wooded hillside to villas with views of the sea.

Those settling for humbler accommodation do not miss out on the beachscapes either however, with yoga decks boasting prime locations over the breathtaking island scenery.

This can be explored at closer range with relaxing walks or beach bathing following the morning's posturing, twisting, balancing and stretching.

D-lite Yoga Retreat in Ibiza is another great place for a holistic holiday or for a short break to repair the party damage done elsewhere on the island.
