BRUANA Holistic: An In-Depth Review for Ayahuasca Retreats near Coín, Málaga, Spain

BRUANA Holistic is a small Málaga-based organizer run by Bruno Maroto and Anna Gräfen that sells four-day retreats with three ayahuasca ceremonies, a kambo session just before the first ceremony and an optional bufo (5-MeO-DMT) session the morning after the last, in rented houses near Coín and in Mallorca, for up to eight guests at €1,111 to €1,555, per its Retreat Guru page. It keeps groups small and includes integration calls. Against that, it has no website or legal entity, its facilitators name no lineage or training, no contraindications, medical staff or emergency plan are published, its kambo pages make unsupported medical claims, and most of its reviews concern other services.

🎯 At a Glance

• Locations: Rented houses in the hills near Coín, Málaga province, with the address shared after booking, and a villa between Campos and Santanyí, Mallorca, Spain.
• Approach: Two night ceremonies and one daytime ayahuasca ceremony, kambo, rapé, breathwork, “Shamanic Kundalini” energy work and heart coaching, with optional bufo on the final morning.
• Suitable For: Experienced adults wanting a short, small-group retreat in Spain who can screen themselves. Not suitable for people taking antidepressants or with heart or psychiatric conditions, or anyone pregnant.
• Costs: €1,111 for two nights or €1,555 for three, with private ayahuasca from €700 a night, per its four-day program page; bufo, extra kambo and massage cost more. Retreat Guru refunds the deposit until a day before and full payment until 30 days before.
• Overall Assessment: Small groups and follow-up calls, offset by no disclosed entity or training, a risky combination of medicines, no published medical safeguards, unsupported health claims and borrowed reviews. Directory evaluation: D+.

🔍 Critical Notes

Who runs it. Bruno Maroto describes himself as a “heart coach and expert in ancestral remedies” who has traveled to about 100 places in 25 countries, per his teacher profile; the same biography appears on a teacher page for From Gaia for You, a separate center nearby. Anna describes a background in bodybuilding and competition before a holistic approach, per her profile (both unverified). Neither names a teacher, lineage or kambo training body. The Retreat Guru account was previously named “Anna Gräfen Health Coaching”. No website, company or tax number appears.

Screening and medical support. A preparation call includes a “health check”, but no contraindication list, medical staff or emergency protocol is published, including on a kambo program marketed for fertility support. Kambo is scheduled right before the first ayahuasca ceremony. Ayahuasca contains MAOIs, and combining MAOIs with 5-MeO-DMT is widely cautioned against, yet bufo is offered the morning after three ceremonies.

Health claims. Its kambo pages claim kambo may lower blood pressure and relieve pain in cancer patients, and a womb-healing program promises hormonal balance and fertility support. These claims are unsupported.

Listings. Refund terms differ between Retreat Guru and BookRetreats, airport transfers are included on some pages and “on request” on others, and amenity tags show a spa and sauna for rented houses. A psilocybin ceremony was also listed for August 2026.

Status. Operating, with dates listed from 19 to 22 November 2026 through January 2028.

Legal context. The legal status of ayahuasca in Spain is uncertain while DMT is controlled, per ICEERS, and in 2026 the Guardia Civil dismantled a fake therapeutic-retreat clinic in Sagunto, an unrelated case, per Diario de León.

🆘 Screening & Mental Health Risks

Stacking kambo, ayahuasca and 5-MeO-DMT within a few days without published screening raises the risk. ICEERS notes that ayahuasca’s MAOI component makes it dangerous with SSRIs and other serotonergic drugs and that it is contraindicated for people prone to psychosis. Never stop a psychiatric medication to qualify for a ceremony without your prescriber’s guidance.

🧪 Brew Substance

Ayahuasca served by the facilitators; its source is not published. Ayahuasca combines the Banisteriopsis caapi vine with a DMT-containing leaf such as chacruna, as Erowid explains.

📍 Location, Setting & Style

• Setting: Mediterranean hills inland from Málaga, or rural southern Mallorca.
• Rooms: Shared or double rooms in rented villas, some with pools.
• Style: Eclectic neo-shamanic program mixing ceremony with coaching and energy work.

Practical guidance: Fly to Málaga (AGP) or Palma (PMI) and confirm in writing whether the transfer is included and where the house is.

Should You Book?

Not without serious caution. Ask in writing for the screening questions and contraindication list, the facilitators’ training, who on site is trained in first aid, the emergency plan and nearest hospital, how long they wait between ayahuasca and any 5-MeO-DMT, the refund terms that apply, and the legal entity you are paying. Read our guide to verifying retreat facilitators.

The Team & Story

BRUANA presents itself as a couple-led holistic practice combining ceremony, coaching and bodywork. We did not independently verify anyone’s training.

Prep & Integration Tips

Before you go: Disclose every medication and condition in writing, plan any change with your own doctor, and consider declining the bufo add-on. After you return: Use the integration calls and arrange support from a qualified therapist at home. Our guide on how to research ayahuasca incidents can help you check any center.
