Details
Day 1
Settle into the magic of Alentejo — enjoy an evening yoga session to unwind before our first dinner together
A warm welcome to Portugal! A very special place awaits you in the protected countryside of Costa Vicentina, where rolling pastoral hills stretch with citrus and pine trees, and small villages dot a region that is sprinkled with history and beauty. Once you've arrived at the airport, you'll catch your group transfer directly to the accommodation. Our new home is the beautiful Quinta Camarena, a fantastic boutique hotel wrapped up in nature that doubles as a warm and inviting retreat venue.
Once you've checked into this beautiful location, get settled in and feel free to connect with your fellow retreat companions and make new friends! The evening brings us together as we engage in our first yoga session. Like an icebreaker, we'll learn more about each other and ourselves during this introduction. Following this, we'll enjoy our first dinner together to celebrate new beginnings and the start of an incredible wellness journey.
Day 2
Participate in morning yoga before breakfast, go hiking around Costa Vicentina, and close the day with evening yoga and dinner
Rise and shine! Align your body, mind, and spirit with a rejuvenating yoga session in the morning before indulging in a hearty breakfast. Then, fall in love with this special part of Costa Vicentina as we embark on an exploration of our surroundings along hiking paths to discover beautiful forest trails and small towns and villages steeped in centuries of history that grant us access to beaches and fishing grounds used by the locals.
When we return to our accommodation, we'll unwind with an evening yoga session to reconnect with ourselves after a day of outdoor adventure. Once we have let our tension melt away, we'll enjoy a delicious dinner to close the evening.
Day 3
Enjoy some free time sandwiched between morning and evening yoga, then spend the night stargazing
Awaken to another beautiful morning in Alentejo, one that starts with a yoga session to help us ground ourselves in preparation for the rest of the day. Then, enjoy a delectable and wholesome breakfast to boost your energy levels. The remainder of the morning/afternoon is free for you to spend relaxing, exploring, or enjoying the accommodation facilities. This is also a good time for you to venture out and spend some time at the beach, soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the salty sea breeze.
In the evening, we'll come together for another yoga session — let gentle movement and mindful breathing calm your mind and awaken your senses. We'll then have our usual group dinner and indulge in a delightful meal over warm conversation. The night culminates in a stargazing session at the accommodation grounds — our quiet surroundings provide the perfect opportunity to enjoy this wonderful activity.
Day 4
Enjoy a guided wine tour that includes wine and tapas tastings
Good morning — we hope you had a restful sleep last night. On your final full day of this retreat, we'll kickstart the morning with our usual yoga session. Once we're ready to tackle the day, we'll have breakfast. The afternoon is reserved for a spectacular wine tour that includes a guided visit and some wine and tapas tasting, so get excited for a mouthwatering excursion! After wrapping up our palatable tour, we'll head back and enjoy the remainder of our time at the accommodation. Enjoy one last dinner with the group and bask in the last rays of the sun as twilight fades.
Day 5
It’s time to say goodbye to this wonderful sanctuary and head home
We've come to the final day of this unforgettable retreat — we hope you have had a wonderful journey connecting with your mind, body, and spirit while discovering the beauty of this special place in Portugal. After one last breakfast this morning, it’s time to leave the hotel behind and depart for the airport. We hope to see you again — travel safe!
