yoga retreats

In the past year, we were not able to travel physically, but all of us have travelled mentally – through the typical lockdown highs and lows. 

Now, Portugal has opened up again and we are convinced that this is the best place to regain energy on an unforgettable meditation and yoga retreat!

 

This is why we’ve put together a very special programme for our Charming Sintra Retreat in October 2021. 

 

Relax with daily yoga or meditation classes, learn more about Portugal’s history, make new friends and create a lot of fun and sunny memories. During this retreat we will relax our body and minds and top this off with delicious healthy food, beautiful hikes and breath-taking adventures. 

It’s time to escape our flats and reconnect with nature and people in a natural, quiet environment surrounded by cliffs, waterfalls, forest and Portugal’s most beautiful nature spots.

It’s time to make some memories!

Reserve Your Spot!

RETREAT HIGHLIGHTS

Daily Yoga & Meditation

Time to reset in nature. Daily yoga and meditation will help us go deeper and heal body and mind after an intense period.

Historic Sintra

Together, we'll discover the pastel-coloured cottages, villages, traditional castles, enchanted gardens and monasteries, to find out more about this town with the UNESCO World Heritage status.

Wonderful Hikes

Experience the trails along the cliffs over the Atlantic Ocean and beaches, or go deep into the lush green Sintra Natural Park.

Local Winery Tour & Tasting

Learn more about Portuguese wine on a guided tour of the local vineyard and adega and savour some of the best wines of the region!

Portuguese BBQ & Live Music

After sampling the delicious taste of the regional products, we'll be gathering for a candlelight guitar concert.

PINE TREE RESIDENCE

Hidden around the pine trees, in a quiet and peaceful setting overlooking the Atlantic Ocean lies Pine Tree Residence, the ideal location for a yoga retreat.

This amazing gem with sea view has a swimming pool, tennis court, gym and beautiful gardens, including a fire pit for late evenings with live music.

Just a few minutes walk away lie some of Sintra’s most desert beaches, allowing us to fall asleep with a fresh ocean breeze and the music of the waves.

One of the highlights is the beautiful yoga and dining room with huge glass windows that offer an astonishing view of the surrounding nature.

From hiking on the cliffs near the ocean, immersing in the excellent trails in the Sintra forest, to surfing – this venue’s surrounding nature has everything a nature-lover needs. And for those who like horse riding, an equestrian center is also available not far from the house.
