Portugal Wellness Retreat
Spread the cost over 3 monthly payments.
Where warm ocean breezes and cobbled streets meet, where sundrenched days unfold slowly; it’s your turn to be taken care of.
May in the Algarve — warm enough for the pool, cool enough for hiking. The locals say it's the most beautiful month of the year.
Picture this: sunlight warming your skin as you cross the dappled terrace to your mat, for a dynamic yoga practice. The day opens gently before you - time for meditation, journalling, or a scenic hike. Afternoons drift by poolside, beside the lake watching wildlife, indulging in a full body massage, or wandering the cobbled streets of Tavira. As evening falls, gentle yoga relaxes the body and mind before a beautiful alfresco dinner, surrounded by friends, old and new.
