Madera Sagrada
Ceremony, quiet space, and open air
Plant-medicine work is the focus at Madera Sagrada, where ibogaine treatments and iboga ceremonies take place in Órgiva. The grounds balance shared ritual space with places to retreat: a large ceremonial room sits alongside private bedrooms, patios, a pool and a traditional sweat lodge. An eco-bathroom is a distinctive practical touch, while the kitchen gives guests a place to gather between sessions. A chef comes in on some days, and dietary options include vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free meals. The center’s stated intention is to support guests in leaving behind what no longer serves them; discuss the ceremony format, suitability and preparation directly with the team before booking. Stays are paid, with prices starting at EUR 2,000. It is a setting built around guided work, balanced by outdoor downtime and the option of private space.

- A traditional sweat lodge alongside an outdoor pool
