Not an escape.
An arrival.
An intimate 5-day transformational experience in Tenerife
What is the Portal?
There are moments in life when the soul no longer wants distraction — it longs for transformation. The Portal was created as an intimate sanctuary for those ready to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with the body, the heart, and the deeper intelligence within. Hidden on the volcanic island of Tenerife, this private immersive retreat blends yoga, breathwork, conscious connection, therapeutic touch, tantra and nervous system restoration into a deeply personal experience for one soul or one couple only. More than a retreat, this is a threshold. A space to soften, awaken, release and remember who you are beneath the pressure, the masks and the endless rush of modern life.

About US
We are Ivan and Dheva, and The Portal was born from our love for bodywork, movement, nature, healing, and authentic connection.Together, we create intimate retreat experiences that blend yoga, massage, breathwork, the ocean, exploration, and conscious living in a relaxed and supportive environment here in Tenerife.Our vision is simple — to offer a space where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and experience the island in a deeper, more meaningful way.
I believe Yoga is far more than movement. It is remembrance — a return to truth, to the body, to the heart, and to the untapped power that lives within us.Through Yoga, Tantra, neuroscience, shamanic wisdom, and years of deep inner exploration, my life was profoundly transformed. I discovered that healing is not about becoming someone else, but awakening who we truly are beneath fear, conditioning, and limitation.Today, my purpose is to guide people toward greater freedom, vitality, love, magnetism, and inner harmony. My work bridges science and spirituality, helping others reconnect with the sacred union of body, mind, and spirit.Before dedicating myself fully to this path, I specialized in Neuroscience and Forensic Psychology and became Vice President of a large European company. From the outside, everything looked successful, yet deep inside I felt called toward something more authentic, meaningful, and alive.So I left certainty behind and chose purpose over status. That decision changed everything.Through years of solo travel, study, and spiritual exploration around the world, I developed my own approach: a fusion of Yoga, Tantra, breathwork, shamanic practices, neuroscience, and embodied transformation. A path that is both mystical and grounded, ancient in wisdom yet deeply relevant to modern life.Today, I offer transformative retreats and experiences around the world—from India, Italy, Greece, Hawaii, and Iceland to the magical island of Tenerife. My intention is to create spaces where people feel seen, empowered, liberated, and deeply connected to themselves.Because happiness is not a destination.
It is a frequency.
A way of being, breathing, and walking through life.
My journey into holistic healing began during my first trip to India in 2008. What started as an adventure became a life-changing experience that opened the door to spirituality, self-discovery, and a deeper understanding of wellbeing.While traveling through Asia, I discovered bodywork—and something immediately clicked. For the first time, I discovered a path that felt aligned with who I am and what I wanted to bring into the world. What began as a personal journey of learning and healing gradually became a way of life and the foundation of the work I share today.Over the years, my journey has included Thai Massage, Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, and other practices that support balance and wellbeing. Yet the greatest lessons have come through my own healing journey, which taught me that true transformation begins when we reconnect with ourselves and listen to the wisdom of the body.Today, I create warm and supportive spaces where people can slow down, recharge, and reconnect with what truly matters. My intention is simple: to help others experience greater ease, vitality, and a deeper connection with themselves.
Voices from the portal
"I came to Tenerife exhausted and disconnected from myself. What Ivan and Dheva created was far more than a retreat. The combination of bodywork, yoga, nature, and genuine care helped me slow down in a way I hadn't experienced in years. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply restored."— Sarah, United Kingdom"What made The Portal special wasn't a particular activity—it was how everything flowed together. Every day felt thoughtfully designed around what I needed in that moment. I arrived looking for a break from life and left with a completely different relationship to myself."— Markus, Germany"The massages, the ocean, the conversations, the yoga, the stillness—it felt like exactly the right medicine at exactly the right time. Ivan and Dheva have a rare gift for creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. This wasn't a holiday. It was a reset."— Elena, Italy
