A creative oasis for artists, explorers, and individuals looking to explore what it means to live collectively. La Pandilla, provides a communal space of living from individuals of all walks of life through its cultural centre and collaborations.
​
While La Pandilla is not an eco-village itself, the space and its people give you the room to be able to explore, learn and directly apply what its like to create practices and principles of eco-villages within a semi-urban space. Guided by our facilitators who have decades of experiences within eco-villages coupled with exposure to local organizations that orient themselves to regeneration and sustainability this program will give you the best of both worlds.
​
Pandilla is just a 10 minute drive from the Ibiza airport. It is a space focused on creativity, connection, and regeneration. The participant accommodations are positioned in a horseshoe shape around a central plaza. There is a large indoor classroom and also a rooftop space to hold class when the weather cooperates.
