Why Ibiza Is the New Hotspot for ‘Spiritual’ Orgies

Once the island of 24-hour techno and sunburned Brits, Ibiza has quietly rebranded. Don’t worry—people are still partying until sunrise. But now, they're doing it with their chakras aligned, their yoni steamed, and their third eye wide open. Welcome to Ibiza’s new underground: a slippery intersection of spirituality, sexuality, and erotic capitalism.
The Rise of “Conscious Hedonism”
The new sex scene in Ibiza is less about foam parties, more about eye-gazing circles and chakra-mapping before you take your clothes off. It's being marketed as conscious hedonism—a kind of pleasure activism where climax is just one of many potential outcomes.
At tantra retreats across the island, orgies don’t start with shots—they start with breathwork. You’ll find facilitators using words like “container” and “intentional touch.” You might get flogged with a eucalyptus branch by someone named Sven who used to work in finance. But the vibe? 100% serious.
What Actually Happens at These Erotic Gatherings?
You won't find flyers for them in town. Most operate in semi-secret, Instagram-gated ecosystems, where a “selective vetting process” usually means attractive people with a spiritual-sounding bio and €7,000 to spare.
At any given weekend-long retreat, you might experience:
Consent workshops with phrases like “Would you be open to me placing my hand on your heart?”
Cacao ceremonies that blur into group massages.
Naked contact improv.
Yoni worship rituals that walk the line between profound and performance art.
“Temple nights,” where soft lighting, DJ sets, and piles of floor cushions invite you to connect—sometimes with six people at once.
One woman described it as “a co-created sensual playground where my inner child and inner slut could finally meet.” Another called it “healing.” Your mileage may vary.
So, Is It an Orgy or a Cult?
Yes and no. The best events (think: the higher-end tantra festivals like Ibiza Tantra Festival or [Into the Wild]) do put real emphasis on consent, emotional safety, and post-play integration. Others veer closer to vibe-based sexual chaos with better outfits.
The language is always soft. People don’t say “orgy”—they say “sacred intimacy container.” You won’t hear “group sex,” but you might hear “collective erotic unfolding.” And instead of “no phones,” you’ll hear “no external distractions.”
Why Now—and Why Ibiza?
There’s a reason this is booming post-pandemic. After years of touch deprivation and digital everything, people are craving connection that feels deeper than a club bathroom hookup—but still hotter than your therapist’s office.
Ibiza offers the ideal storm: ancient sex-energy vibes (thank you, Phoenician goddess Tanit), ridiculous natural beauty, and a legacy of open-minded weirdos. Add in a few viral TikToks of orgiastic cacao dances and suddenly tantra is the new techno.
Is It Just Rich People Pretending to Be Woke While Naked?
In part, yes. These events don’t come cheap. Prices can range from a €400 workshop to €3,000+ for luxury “sacred sexuality” retreats featuring yoga, vegan meals, and guided yoni de-armoring.
But the desire is real. Many people report feeling more emotionally seen at a tantra circle than they ever did on Tinder. For some, it’s a return to body-based community. For others, it’s curated chaos with better lighting.
Final Map Out:
Spiritual orgies in Ibiza are what happens when Burning Man meets sacred sexuality and gets monetized under Mediterranean sun. The music is downtempo, the rules are all about consent, and the vibe is: emotionally available but still down to fuck.
Whether you go for the healing or the hedonism, one thing’s clear: Ibiza’s sex scene isn’t dying—it’s just rebranding. And now it comes with deep and long eye contact.
