Since 2007
A private burnout retreat in Spain, built around the individual
For almost two decades, Vida Libre has been a quietly trusted name in intensive burnout and alcohol addiction recovery. Our guests come to us from across Europe, the UK, the United States and beyond when they need a retreat that is more focused, more discreet and more personal than a large clinic can provide.
You are not a patient in an institution here. You are a guest in a family-run Mallorcan finca, cared for by a small, experienced team of psychologists, coaches, medical and therapeutic professionals. The pace is unhurried, the atmosphere is warm, and with a maximum of four guests at a time, there is genuine space to rest and be yourself.
Days combine individual one-to-one coaching, massage and equine-assisted sessions with shared activities such as yoga and sport. Many of our guests describe Vida Libre as a second home — a place where they can work through what they are facing while feeling at home and truly looked after.
Is it burnout?
Feeling exhausted, drained and unmotivated? These are signs worth taking seriously — before they take over.
Our approach
How the Vida Libre programme helps you find your way back to yourself, at your own pace.
One-to-one coaching
We work with no more than four guests at a time, allowing us to offer deeply personal, bespoke coaching — with the time, space and attention each individual needs.
What we offer
Burnout, treated privately and abroad
Most of our guests are entrepreneurs, business owners and self-employed professionals from Europe, the UK and the United States who need discretion, care in their own language and a stay measured in weeks rather than months.
A private burnout retreat in Spain
Intensive daily one-to-one coaching, tailored to you rather than delivered in groups, with medical care and a great deal of peace and quiet.
Executive burnout retreat
For founders and senior leaders who cannot step away for three months, yet know they cannot continue as they are.

Vida Libre
Burnout prevention and recovery in a Mediterranean setting
Our project has been running in Mallorca since 2007 — nearly two decades in which we have helped many people. Guests come to us from across Europe, the UK and the United States; the whole programme runs in English whenever that is what you need.
We take our guests exactly as they are and walk alongside them on the path that is right for them. A large proportion of the people who come to us are self-employed or carry senior responsibility, and have gradually worn themselves out.
The finca
Spotting the signals
How do you know it is burnout?
Exhaustion, no strength left, no motivation. These are typical signs of burnout — and you do not have to wait until the state becomes permanent before doing something about it.
