Sacruna

Sacruna is an ayahuasca retreat organiser in Marbella, Malaga, Spain. Its current website advertises four-day and seven-day residential formats in private villas, with two or three ceremonies, integration sessions and groups capped at 12 people. The former Girona and medieval-castle description on this listing is no longer current.

Current retreat formats

The operator describes a four-day intensive with two ceremonies and a seven-day retreat with three ceremonies and daily integration practices. It names Shipibo-Konibo practitioners and a wider facilitation team, and presents accommodation in private villas around Marbella rather than one permanently identified retreat property. Programme dates, the exact villa, room arrangements, meals, transfers and the full price are not clear on the public page and should be confirmed for the chosen departure.

The application route starts with a chat, followed by a consultation, a health questionnaire or screening step, final approval, a deposit and preparation information. Before paying, obtain the complete schedule, participant agreement, deposit and cancellation terms, privacy policy, emergency plan and the names, roles, qualifications and registrations of everyone responsible for screening, ceremonies and medical support.

Safety and legal checks

Ayahuasca is psychoactive and can cause serious adverse effects and medication interactions. Reviews of the pharmacology identify particular concern around serotonergic medicines and monoamine-oxidase inhibition. Do not stop or alter prescribed medication to attend a retreat. Discuss the proposed ingredients and timing with an independent clinician who knows your medical history, and disclose all medicines, supplements, substance use and relevant physical or mental-health conditions during screening.

The operator states that its ceremonies comply with Spanish law and that medical professionals are present. Those are provider claims, not independent proof of legality, clinician registration, facility licensing or emergency capability. Confirm the current legal position with a suitably qualified Spanish professional and independently verify the named clinician’s registration and scope. Ask how the team handles acute medical or psychological distress, transport to emergency care, safeguarding, consent, complaints and post-retreat support. Do not treat this programme as a substitute for medical or mental-health care.

Who it may suit

Sacruna may suit adults who have already researched ayahuasca independently, accept a small-group, premium-villa format and are prepared to complete screening and legal and medical due diligence. It is not a treatment and does not assure any therapeutic result. It is also a poor fit for anyone seeking a fixed publicly identified property or making a booking decision based only on testimonials. Confirm the exact location, accessibility, language support, private and shared spaces, dietary arrangements, total cost and refund rights before committing.
