Accommodation

The retreat place in Portugal is a 275 acre coastal farm + retreat, offering inspiration + community for the modern traveller. It's also pure magic, where between the oversized hammocks and the freshwater lake, you'll start to lose track of time.

The place is situated on the breathtaking Atlantic coast of Portugal, near the charming fishing village of Zambujiera del Mar, in the Alentejo region, which is known for its long stretches of untouched coastline and charming white-washed villages. From Lisbon, it's about two hours drive south.

The retreat place is just 10 minutes drive away from Praia do Malhao, a fabulous untouched beach. Many of the nearby beaches are good for surfing, kayaking, swimming or sunbathing. There's also world-class hiking on the famed Costa Vicentina trail and secret swimming holes where you can take a refreshing dip. The charming seafront village of Vila Nova de Milfontes is also just 10 minutes drive away.

August is a summer month in Portugal. The average temperature in Vila Nova de Milfontes in August for a typical day ranges from a high of 85°F (29°C) to a low of 64°F (18°C). Some would describe it as very warm with a gentle breeze.

"It was great. I enjoyed having everything planned for me! I got sick in the last few days and wasn’t able to fully enjoy it as I had hoped so that was a bummer! I was also the only woman in her 40s. I didn’t realize everyone would be so young or that it would even matter but I found it hard to connect with people who were in such a different phase of life than me. But that isn’t anybody’s fault!"

"A week I will never forget - perfectly organized and curated for the perfect balance of wellness and rest. The accommodations were lovely and I will be booking again with this lovely company someday!"

"I was a bit hesitant to book a yoga retreat trip all by myself but after having completed the trip I wish I would have done one sooner. It exceeded my expectations in every way. The yoga instructor and the meditation and sound bath instructor were so skilled and fantastic. There were many other activities that we could book on our own that were exciting and interesting. The beach walks, waterfall hike and paddle boarding were so much fun. But most of all our retreat leader was great at building community in our group. I will definitely be booking another trip!"
