OUR PHILOSOPHY
This retreat is an invitation to return to yourself, to nature, and to the untamed rhythm of the Atlantic.
High on the cliffs, where the wind breathes freedom and the sea roars below, we invite you to strip back the layers of daily life and remember what it feels like to be fully alive.
Through the union of Yoga and Pilates, we share one vision: to restore balance, awaken vitality, and nurture deep connection to body, breath, and being. Our practices are designed to reawaken the senses, replenish energy, and reignite inspiration, guiding you home to your most authentic self.
True rejuvenation asks for honesty. It may stir what lies beneath the surface, but, through movement, breath, and reflection, we will guide you through it with steadiness and care.
This is not about escaping life but meeting it fully: raw, renewed, radiant and ready.
Here, between ocean and sky, you are invited to return to your essence: the beauty, the strength, and the stillness within the wild.
The Daily Yoga Practice
Each day begins with Yoga, guided by breath, rooted in strength, and attuned to energy. Mornings awaken through flowing, integrated practice; evenings soften into Yin, Restorative, or Yoga Nidra, grounding body and mind in balance and calm.
The Daily Pilates Practice
Pilates refines the physical form intelligent, precise, and purposeful. These sessions strengthen, stabilise, and align, building resilience and clarity from the inside out.
Together
Distinct yet complementary, Yoga and Pilates meet in rhythm one cultivating awareness, the other structure.
Where strength meets stillness, balance becomes being.
Spa and Body Treatments
Our team of experienced therapists will be available throughout the retreat, offering personalised treatments designed to rejuvenate and restore. From hot-stone massage and reflexology to Ayurvedic therapies and deep tissue release, each session is tailored to your needs.
If you have any specific preferences, please let us know before arrival so we can ensure your ideal therapist and timings are arranged. You’re welcome to enjoy as many treatments as you wish, each one a gentle reminder that healing can be soft, replenishing, and deeply human.
Rest. Receive. Restore.
Flavours of wellness
To eat is to connect to the land, the season, and the quiet rhythm of life.
At this retreat, food is an expression of mindfulness; a celebration of simplicity, crafted to nourish body and soul without heaviness.
Our chefs, with over twenty-five years of experience, prepare every meal with love and precision. Working with organic, unprocessed ingredients from the Portuguese land
that surrounds us, they bring the essence of nature directly to the table. Herbs and vegetables are gathered from the
retreat’s gardens and neighbouring farms, ensuring each plate is rooted in freshness and authenticity.
Three light, balanced meals are served each day - vibrant in colour, alive in flavour, and designed to sustain energy for practice while leaving space for clarity and rest. This is not
indulgence; it is nourishment in its truest form - honest, wholesome, and deeply restorative.
From earth to table, nourishment becomes renewal.
