Professional through and through
In short, you won't find a more professional organization when it comes to running retreats in Europe. From onboarding, to the retreat itself, to integration, it shows that Avalon has been around for some time perfecting their craft. A high team to participants ratio also means that you get individual care if and when needed. Quality and ethically sourced medicines used. Highly recommend.

1 week retreat with Avalon
This was, without a doubt, one of the most incredible journeys I have ever experienced.
The team was always present, supportive, and genuinely available whenever needed. The activities and treatments offered were comprehensive and perfectly complementary, with everything thoughtfully designed to help you feel comfortable and fully immerse yourself in the experience.

The setting was peaceful and calming, and the food was absolutely outstanding.
It was my very first retreat of this kind, and I truly feel lucky to have found and chosen Avalon. It was an absolutely incredible experience—rich, intense, and unforgettable.. And an amazing start to my own transformation.
I fully recommend it without hesitation!

Great experience
I had a truly beautiful experience at this retreat center. The infrastructure is stunning — thoughtfully designed and perfectly integrated into nature, creating a serene environment far away from the noise and stress of the city.
The food was absolutely delicious, nourishing both body and soul, and clearly prepared with care and intention.
What made this place even more special is the team. Every single person was warm, attentive, and deeply committed to creating a safe and welcoming space.
A special mention to the shaman, who is truly the embodiment of love and compassion. Their presence alone brings a sense of peace and depth that is hard to put into words.
I wholeheartedly recommend this oasis of peace to anyone seeking rest, connection, and inner renewal. ✨

Life changing, safe, supportive organisation.
I have engaged with Avalon for 3 years to help with a major life event in my mid 20's involving my being seriously sexually and physically assaulted, the resulting police case lasting several years, and the aftermath when it ultimately failed.

I first engaged with plant medicine in 2022 with Arkana in Peru, and while I had a good experience, I was not able to sufficiently trust or submit, and the centre was maybe better geared for other types of people/trauma/experience.

I discovered Avalon as I live in the UK and could not mentally or financially afford to again travel to South America and not feel safe or sufficiently held, and Barcelona was close enough to test out the organisation; I'll be honest that I was not sure you could really provide ayahuasca medicine away from the jungle and had massive reservations.

Over 2 years I first engaged with 3 evening Bufo Alvarius ceremonies spaced 6 months apart, had very powerful positive effects, and each time was served by the same team who got to know me better.

Having gained trust I went for a 6 day Ayahuasca retreat in summer 2025 with my best friend for security. I would consider both my friend and I to be relatively vulnerable, both queer and carrying a lot of complex emotional issues to work on. The experience was so overwhelmingly safe and beautiful, I returned again alone last week to go deeper with the medicine on another 6 day retreat.

I could reinforce all the other 5* reviews re: food, accommodation, quality of shaman (really outstanding) etc. but the best / most important thing I can add is to seriously highlight how Avalon has supported me through the *entirety* of my journey, enabling me to gain a level of trust, so essential to work properly with these medicines on the kind of trauma I experienced.

They care *deeply* about the participants and are willing to stay with you in the long term. I need this kind of interaction and support, there was never going to be a quick one time fix and I was never looking for the "psychonaut experience" per se. The result is that I have gained a level of interaction and teaching from Ayahuasca I couldn't imagine, resulting in changes not just for my mental and physical health, but that of my family and friends - the highest praise I could possibly offer. I now have a life filled with positivity and hope, something that frankly seemed unachievable for years.

I hope this review reaches anyone who is nervous about engaging with a centre because you might feel the trauma you carry to be too exposing, that you have fears about safety and vulnerability or authenticity, or you had less positive experiences with other established organisations; Avalon are the real deal and have hard earned my trust, which ultimately is what's required when engaging with such an intense process. I will certainly be returning when the time is right and feel extremely lucky to be able to do so.
