Disconnect from your everyday life to re-establish a deeper connection within. This special eco retreat centre with breathtaking views offers the perfect environment. Set in abundant nature, nestled in the mountains of Monchique it provides the optimal conditions to fully switch off from external distractions of the modern world we live in and immerse yourself fully and completely.
“For me, the Portugal retreat was a complete reset, and I can still feel its benefits. Being immersed in nature and experiencing living off grid were so grounding and at the same time everything was designed with comfort in mind. It was beautiful to have the morning practice outside amongst the trees and birds singing. I really liked the balance of yoga, meditation, chanting and sound healing as well as down time in the afternoon that allowed for inner reflection. I loved the day on the beach too, it had a meditative quality. I felt very cared for and supported during the stay.”

Staying here is a wonderful fusion of being immersed in nature and experiencing off-grid living.
