Clearing Space, Seeding Ideas, Growing a Community

The best way to escape distractions is to follow the winding path to Can Tanca, Six Senses Ibiza’s local farm. A physical clearing in the island’s rural heart, it’s the perfect retreat. Here, you can create your own inner space, to reconnect and breathe.

More than a farm, Can Tanca is a thriving community. Alongside rows of watermelons grow relationships with pioneers in regenerative agriculture, spiritual healers, wellness experts, artisans, and inspired individuals, all gathering to share knowledge and experience. It’s a lively place that showcases Ibiza’s heritage and spirit through immersive experiences including farming activities, educational workshops, gastronomy events, and environmental programs.

The edible gardens and planted areas spread across the site invite hands-on exploration and a glimpse into the island’s culinary roots. In workshops like “Hierbas & Flaó,” come to harvest local herbs and ingredients and prepare traditional Ibizan farm-to-fork brunch with hand-foraged delights on every plate.

Many of the activities take their cue from the landscape itself, guided by the ancient principle of genius loci—the spirit of place. From breathwork sessions and forest bathing to children’s nature-based programs, every experience invites reflection and connection. Fragrant open-air spaces provide ideal settings for seasonal celebrations, special occasions, and community gatherings.

Interactive workshops developed in collaboration with local organizations carry a strong sense of purpose. The hotel’s Sustainability Fund supports partners including APNEEF, which empowers people with special needs to engage in environmental care. Other partners include Creatives for the Planet, using art for environmental awareness; Can Hog, focused on rescuing and rewilding Ibiza’s hedgehogs; and marine and land-focused groups like Vellmari and Regenera Natura.

Seasonal celebrations throughout the year, such as Earth Day, Summer Solstice, and Full Moon ceremonies, bring the community together through rituals, music, shared meals, and collaborative learning. Twice a year, the Agora Market transforms the Learning Center into a vibrant space for local artisans and residents to gather.

Can Tanca continues to supply Six Senses Ibiza with seasonal organic produce. You’ll find its bounty under vintage tractors at The Farmers’ Market, on your plate at The Orchard, and in your pick-me-up juices and cocktails at the Pharmacy Bar.

From the rich soil of Can Tanca to the regenerative farms across the island, a quiet revolution is growing. It nourishes the land, connects people, and shapes a more sustainable way of life. As Ibiza evolves, its true energy lies not just in its music or mysticism, but in those who nurture its possibilities.
