I was recently invited to a festival in Ibiza, the Balearic island known for its turquoise waters, untamed coastlines, and electronic music-fueled parties. But this invite wasn’t to Mike Posner’s Ibiza—the pills would instead be homeopathic ones touting health and wellbeing, and the headliners included biohacker Ben Greenfield, Los Angeles-based trainer Kim Strother, and women’s health and menopausal expert Dr. Jessica Shepard. Hosted at Six Senses Ibiza, a secluded resort on the island’s northern tip, the event blended music, healing practices, and communal experiences. Called Alma (Spanish for “soul”), its themes span psychedelic breath work and sex chats to sound healing and biohacking. “Longevity is a key pillar of what we do,” Alma Festival founder Talana Bestall tells Traveler.
