Sant Mateu d'Albarca,
A twelve-client residential clinic on a private thirteen-hectare estate in rural northern Ibiza, with published prices, a named team and real clinical depth.
Ibiza Calm treats a maximum of twelve clients at any one time on a thirteen-hectare private estate at Diseminado Aubarca in Sant Mateu d'Albarca, and it publishes both that number and its weekly prices, which almost nobody in this segment does. Founded by a clinical psychotherapist and an operations director, it admitted its first clients on 6 June 2015 in a four-bedroom finca and moved to the current estate in 2024.
The model is a well-resourced therapeutic community, not a concierge one. Clients live across an upper and a lower house, share a timetable, sit in groups of six to twelve and attend off-site mutual-support meetings, alongside individual counselling, psychiatric review and nursing staff on site each night. Evidence-based psychotherapy is layered with transcranial magnetic stimulation, equine work, yoga and art therapy. A third tier, La Casita, buys exclusive use of a standalone residence on the same shared estate, and the clinic frames it in its own words as the choice between receiving therapies privately there or joining the community of up to twelve residents in the main house.
What the clinic does not publish is as telling as what it does. No licence, authorisation or register number appears anywhere on its site; the Balearic and national health-centre registers could not be read; no legal operating entity, complaints route, refund term or record-retention period is published; and no clinician's professional registration number is given.
A genuinely named and photographed team with individual biography pages, roughly 33 people across leadership, medical, therapeutic, admissions, clinical support, culinary and housekeeping groups, for a maximum of twelve clients.

EUR 15,000 per week, captured 2026-09-15
The timetable becomes optional and the week is built from the clinical assessment: five compulsory individual counselling sessions a week and three tailor-made activities, daily one-to-one therapy, private psychiatrist and doctor access, additional therapies as clinically indicated, and travel assistance including private-flight arrangement.
Billed weekly, four weeks recommended minimum
Not published by the clinic, price on application
Everything in the Full Bespoke Programme plus exclusive use of La Casita, a standalone residence on the estate. The clinic frames the choice in its own words as receiving therapies privately in La Casita or joining the community of up to twelve residents in the main house. It buys a building on a shared estate, not separation from the client group.
-
Delivered inside a residential admission, no standalone price
Withdrawal management guided by psychiatrists, nurses and addiction specialists with round-the-clock care and support during the process, and an evaluation on arrival that decides whether medical detox is required and sets a personalised detox plan. The substances covered, the protocols used and the expected duration are not published.
-
-
Multidisciplinary assessment and planning, coaching for the family on the conversation itself, on-site facilitation by professionals who travel internationally, and sober companions to escort the client from home to the clinic. The service page gives no statement on consent, refusal or referral fees.
-
Included in every programme's weekly fee
Structured exit and aftercare planning is part of every programme, alongside an optional family component and weekly online support sessions for families. A residential clinical support option after the main treatment is offered within the operator. Duration, format, psychiatric follow-up and coordination with the client's own doctors are not published.
No public price found.
The credible base is roughly 24 verified reviews at 4.99 on a clinician review platform and 29 at 4.3 on a treatment directory, supported by sixteen dated, named reviews the clinic republishes on its own site. That is consistent, positive and modest for a ten-year-old clinic, with no sign of fabrication on the verifying platforms. No Trustpilot profile exists, the review URL returns HTTP 404, and the Google Business Profile could not be retrieved through a consent wall, so it is recorded as not verified rather than estimated. One provenance problem is recorded and excluded. A rehab-review directory displays 1,023 reviews at 5.0 for this clinic, which is not credible for a twelve-client facility with a 24 to 29 review footprint on larger, verifying platforms, and the same platform publishes an identical figure for unrelated clinics. It is excluded and is not cited anywhere. No award was found from any independent body. No national newspaper feature, broadcast profile or trade investigation was located in English or Spanish, and no first-hand bylined reporting from inside the facility was found.

A thirteen-hectare private estate at Diseminado Aubarca in Sant Mateu d'Albarca, occupied since the 2024 relocation. The main building is styled as a traditional Ibicencan castle. Accommodation splits between an upper house and a lower house, all rooms individual deluxe ensuite, plus La Casita, a standalone residence let on exclusive use. The clinic's own gallery shows a low white complex in pine woodland with formal gardens, terraces and a pool, Mediterranean planting of palm, citrus and olive, working orchards that supply the kitchen, a herb garden added in 2025, a covered outdoor dining terrace, a yoga and movement studio under a timber roof, stone-walled bedrooms with beamed ceilings, and a room set out as a therapy circle of chairs. Stated plainly, this is a shared facility: twelve clients across two houses with common gardens, common dining and a common timetable. No spa, no indoor pool, no imaging or laboratory suite, no dedicated detox unit and no separate clinical building is described anywhere, and no dedicated therapy or consultation room is described in text. Equine work happens off site at a private farm in the hills of Santa Gertrudis. Gallery images carry no captions, so amenities cannot be verified one by one, and several gallery filenames reference the property the clinic left in 2024, so some published imagery may show the previous site. No independent record of the premises at the current address and no first-hand visit by a journalist was found.
Three kitchen staff are named and photographed for a maximum of twelve clients. The head chef trained in Uruguay and worked in hotels in Montevideo, Punta del Este and Ibiza, and is described as adapting his cooking to each person's needs and preferences and building daily menus around balanced nutrition, cooking for clients and staff alike. The estate's organic orchards supply the kitchen and a herb garden was added in 2025. Nutritional evaluation forms part of the admission assessment, individual nutrition planning is listed among the inclusions, and the eating-disorder programme describes on-site meals prepared by professional chefs alongside collaborative nutrition support. Against that: no dietitian or nutritionist is named anywhere on the team page, although the Spanish bespoke-programme page claims dietitian support, so that claim has no named person behind it. No intolerance, micronutrient or metabolic testing is described, no method is published for building the plan from laboratory data, and no gourmet or fine-dining credential is claimed. Monitoring of the plan during the stay, dietary accommodations and nutrition education for afterwards are not published.
one to one therapy
This is a communal model, and the clinic's own pages make that explicit. Up to twelve clients live across an upper and a lower house and share gardens, dining and recreational areas. Group therapy is core rather than optional: groups run at six to twelve members, and on the standard programme the morning timetable is compulsory. Off-site mutual-support meetings are included as standard across all programmes, which puts a client in a public room with members of the public, and no mitigation is described. La Casita is the only privacy tier and it buys exclusive use of one building on a shared estate. The clinic frames it in its own words as the choice between receiving therapies privately there and joining the community of up to twelve residents in the main house. It is a building, not separation from the client group. The policy framework is thin. No client NDA policy, alias or pseudonym practice, staff-vetting statement or visitor-control protocol is published. The strongest confidentiality language found is a group norm asking participants to respect the privacy of group discussions. The website privacy policy is a boilerplate notice covering cookies and comments; it names no data controller, no company and no address, and does not address clinical records. Genuine protections that do exist: a remote rural estate with no passing traffic, a private perimeter, no visible clinic signage, airport collection at any hour, and the option to accommodate a client's own staff or security on site. Documented incidents: none found. No leak of a client stay, press incident, regulatory complaint, lawsuit or data-protection enforcement action was found in English or Spanish.
Headline basis: Public evidenceThe headline number is the public score, not the extended score., LROAS 1.0.0, edition 2026-10-01
Public-evidence total: 44
The sum of the ten criterion scores, from 10 to 100, using evidence anyone can check, including the clinic's own pages as self-declared statements. For the licence element of C2 only, it can also use an authority ruling held in our sealed evidence room. It is the only number used for the rank.
ConfidenceHow well the evidence supports the score.: medium. ProvisionalA check was still open when the edition closed, for example a register lookup or a video not yet received, or evidence under embargo.: C10.
All bedrooms are private, but on the standard Individual Care programme clients are brought together daily by group therapy, workshops and a compulsory morning programme in a shared main house community, which reaches band 4 for the standard offer. One point is added because La Casita is a separately priced sole-occupancy tier, a standalone residence on the estate where therapies can be received privately, giving band 5. The standard offer does not itself reach band 5, since that needs a smaller client number and a confidentiality measure beyond statute, and only a group-privacy norm is published. No deduction applied; bed or capacity figures were not used.
ConfidenceHow well the evidence supports the score.: medium
The Balearic register of health centres records centre 5965 at the estate address with a C.3.7 operating authorisation of 27 October 2025 whose care units include psychiatry and drug-dependence care, which meets the licence gate, and a psychiatrist Medical Director heads the medical team. Withdrawal management is delivered on site and a bipolar programme covering Bipolar I with psychosis is defined, giving two further elements and band 6. Band 7 needs a third element: published overnight cover is nursing only with no physician or psychiatrist on site or on call, the homepage says the local hospital can be accessed but names none, no physician is named for non-psychiatric care at the site, and no accreditation appears on an accreditor's own register.
ConfidenceHow well the evidence supports the score.: high
A full physical and psychiatric evaluation on arrival, a medication review and full assessments including blood work are published, at a site whose Medical Director is a psychiatrist. These elements give band 6. The admission steps before commitment are a call on timeline and costs and a telephone assessment with no clinician type named, so no clinical pre-commitment screening counts, and no specialist diagnostic or written formulation given to the client is published, which keeps it below band 7.
ConfidenceHow well the evidence supports the score.: medium
The one-to-one therapy page says the number of individual sessions is agreed with the therapist, and the standard Individual Care tier is read as two one-to-one sessions a week, which is band 3 (one to two sessions a week) and the same band a no-count reading gives. The five-session figure applies only to the Full Bespoke tier, and the standard offer is scored. The team is pooled (one Medical Director, five nurses and six therapeutic staff for all clients), the group share is not published and no clinician is stated to stay overnight.
ConfidenceHow well the evidence supports the score.: low
Exit and aftercare planning is part of every programme and included in the weekly fee, it is delivered by the clinic itself, a family component is offered, and a residential clinical support option after treatment is described. These four elements give band 5. No remote or home aftercare service, duration, format, psychiatric follow-up or coordination with outside doctors is published, which keeps it below the band above.
ConfidenceHow well the evidence supports the score.: medium
A sweep of the clinic's own domain found no self-ranking page, no press logo strip or award display and no text addressed to AI assistants (llms.txt and an AI instructions page return 404); paid press releases from 2023 are not presented on the site as editorial coverage. The price page publishes EUR 10,000 per week for Individual Care and EUR 15,000 per week for Full Bespoke Care with no negotiability statement, the one positive signal; La Casita is priced on application but is not the standard programme. No referral-fee position, policy on declining admissions or voluntary-admission policy is published, including on the intervention service page. A clean sweep with one positive signal gives band 5.
ConfidenceHow well the evidence supports the score.: medium
No transparency element is met. Inclusions are listed per tier but exclusions are not, and no deposit, payment, refund, cancellation, extension or early-departure term appears on any live page. A 2024 programme PDF that carried a deposit and a no-refund clause has been withdrawn, and a withdrawn document is not a current statement of terms. The contact page names no company, registration number or complaints route, no licence reference or inspection result is published, and the privacy policy names no controller and gives no retention period for health records. No contradiction deduction applied.
ConfidenceHow well the evidence supports the score.: low
No final regulator, court or tribunal outcome was found in English or Spanish, and no allegation is recorded. The 27 October 2025 register entry is an authorisation date, not an inspection, and neither register publishes an inspection, so no inspection standing is established. There is no first-hand bylined reporting, and only one verifying review platform (Doctify, all displayed reviews five-star with no practice response) with no Trustpilot profile. With no finding and no standing signal the clinic is in band 5, the not published band.
ConfidenceHow well the evidence supports the score.: low
The setting sub-score reaches 5 on four elements: the estate's outdoor space and gardens, named housekeeping and maintenance roles, a family visit arrangement and a public register record of the licensed address (centre 5965 at the same estate address as the contact page). No emergency department element is met, since the clinic names no hospital or travel time and no verified 24-hour emergency department was found near the location, and no medication policy is published. Nutrition reaches 4 on chef-prepared meals in a personalised plan with a nutritional evaluation for eating-disorder clients; no nutrition professional is named. The mean of 4.5 rounds half up to 5.
ConfidenceHow well the evidence supports the score.: high
The team page publishes a named roster. With the facility authorisation now proven on a public register, the credentials of the psychiatrist Medical Director and seven other named clinicians (psychologists, a family therapist, an international medical consultant and nurses) are accepted provisionally under the regulated-activity rule, which gives band 3 and meets the full-relevance core gate. The band rests on the Medical Director alone, so it does not depend on the other open lookups. No credential was confirmed directly on a register, psychotherapist titles are not registered titles in Spain, and no academic standing is verified, which keeps it below band 4; no capacity figure was used.
ProvisionalA check was still open when the edition closed, for example a register lookup or a video not yet received, or evidence under embargo.: Clinician register lookups for this criterion were still open at the edition cut-off (see known_gaps). The points count as assessed on the evidence available; the band may change when the lookups are completed, which is resolved in a later edition.
ConfidenceHow well the evidence supports the score.: medium
The clinic publishes its prices, which is unusual in this segment. The Individual Care Programme is EUR 10,000 per week and the Full Bespoke Care Programme is EUR 15,000 per week, both including a deluxe private ensuite room, therapy, meals, activities and medical cover. The La Casita Bespoke Programme, which adds exclusive use of a standalone residence, is priced on application, and the clinic publishes no figure for it. A four-week minimum stay is recommended. No deposit, payment, refund, cancellation, extension or early-departure term is published, and no insurance arrangement is confirmed by the clinic, so budget as self-pay and settle the terms in writing first.
On a thirteen-hectare private estate at Diseminado Aubarca 22, Sant Mateu d'Albarca, in the rural north of Ibiza, occupied since 2024. The setting is farmland and Mediterranean gardens rather than the coastal resort strip, with the airport roughly half an hour away. Equine therapy takes place off site at a private farm in the hills of Santa Gertrudis. A Sloane Square address in London is an enquiries office, not a treatment site.
People who want a well-staffed, clinically real residential programme in a beautiful private setting, and who are comfortable being treated alongside up to eleven other clients. The scope covers alcohol and drug dependence, prescription-drug addiction, gambling and sex addiction, eating disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, burnout and codependency, including dual diagnosis. It is the wrong choice for anyone whose first requirement is that no other client ever sees them: group work is core, the morning timetable is compulsory on the standard programme, and off-site mutual-support meetings are included as standard.
Three steps: an initial telephone consultation covering suitability, timing and cost, a telephone assessment with the client, then a confirmed admission date with collection from the airport at any hour and a greeting from the clinical team. A full physical and psychiatric evaluation is carried out on arrival and the treatment plan is built from it. For a reluctant client the clinic runs an intervention service and can provide sober companions to escort someone from home. No waiting time is published. Before committing, ask for the Balearic health-centre authorisation number and the Medical Director's professional registration number, neither of which is published.
Every programme includes structured exit and aftercare planning within the weekly fee, plus a family component, and the clinic describes itself as a stable point of contact providing ongoing support. A residential clinical support option after the main treatment is offered within the operator. What is not published on the clinic's own site is the duration or format of aftercare, whether psychiatric review and medication management continue after discharge, whether the clinic coordinates with the client's own doctors, or any structured contact period. No completion, relapse or follow-up data is published, so the effectiveness of the pathway cannot be verified independently.
