PORTUGAL
Join us for an unforgettable week on Portugal’s southern coast—where daily movement meets coastal adventure, and each moment invites you to reconnect, reset, and return to yourself.
This is more than a retreat; it’s a breath of fresh air, a shift in perspective, and a space to move, explore, and simply be.
Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is for anyone craving something more—more movement, more meaning, more space to breathe and feel like themselves again. It’s for those ready to explore, both the world around them and the place within. Whether you’ve practiced for years or are just finding your way back to the mat, this experience is about reconnecting—to your body, your breath, and your sense of adventure.
Morning yoga flows are a shared rhythm we’ll start each day with—grounding, energizing, and anchoring us in presence. Evening Pilates sessions are optional and designed to complement your energy and restore your strength. We’ll come together around the table for nourishing, thoughtfully prepared meals and create space for connection, reflection, and plenty of laughter along the way.
This retreat is open to all levels, all bodies, and all backgrounds. Whether you're coming with a friend or flying solo, you'll be welcomed into a supportive, inclusive space where individuality is celebrated and community happens naturally. Come as you are—there’s space for you here.
OUR OASIS
We’ll be staying at Alta Vista Lodge, a beautifully designed boutique stay perched along Portugal’s stunning southern coast. With ocean views, airy rooms, and inviting shared spaces, it’s the kind of place that feels both elevated and easy. Our days will be a mix of intentional movement—daily yoga and Pilates to ground and energize—and curated adventures like coastal hikes, a private catamaran trip, and time to explore the charm of nearby seaside towns. Whether you’re poolside with a book or chasing the sunset along the cliffs, this is your space to recharge, connect, and come alive.
The house is fully ours for the week, complete with an open-air yoga shala, indoor and outdoor pools, an infrared sauna, a cozy indoor bubble pool, and a private oceanfront garden. It’s a space designed for restoration and joy—whether you’re waking slowly with the sun, moving with intention, or sinking into stillness after a day of adventure.
All meals provided at Alta Vista will be made by our private chef from Basil Algarve. All yoga mats and props will be provided.
Single, Double, & Quad Rooms Available
All beds are single, twin size beds in shared rooms
