WELLNESS RETREAT

Ayurvedic Yoga & Sound Bath Retreat for Mind Body Balance
5 days of self care at our exclusive tranquil luxury resort in Portugal

Destination Portugal - 14 - 19 February  2026

New Year, New Start

The first quarter of the year is a natural time for new beginnings — an opportunity to reflect, refresh, and set powerful intentions for living a beautiful, healthy, well-balanced life.

​

Join us for our Annual Wellness Retreat, where relaxation, restoration, and education come together in a luxurious, nurturing setting. Immerse yourself in a unique experience designed to support your journey toward wellness.

​

Enjoy classes in Ayurvedic practices, meditation, yoga, nutrition, and cooking, along with healing therapies like massage, facials, and restorative treatments — all thoughtfully curated to leave you feeling deeply renewed.

This year, we are proud to announce that 100% of the proceeds from our retreat will go directly to support MISGO (Moms in Security Global Outreach). Your participation helps fund MISGO's critical mission of supporting families impacted by human trafficking and exploitation.

​

Come heal, grow, and give back — leaving not only with a renewed sense of well-being but also having made a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

​

Food

Throughout the retreat, we serve Ayurvedic-inspired meals thoughtfully prepared to support balance and healing in the body. Each dish is crafted with ingredients chosen to nourish the individual doshas (your unique mind-body constitution) and can be customized to meet your specific needs. (Learn more about doshas here.)

​

In addition to focusing on nutritional support, our meals offer a glimpse into the local flavors of the region where the retreat is held, creating a delicious and culturally enriching dining experience.

​

While meals will not be strictly vegan or vegetarian, all offerings are centered around “clean eating” principles, with an emphasis on fresh, wholesome ingredients. Dishes are seasoned with mild spices — an important element of Ayurvedic cooking — to support digestion and overall well-being.

​

We are happy to accommodate dietary preferences, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, ensuring every guest feels nourished and cared for.

Self Care Rituals

A key aspect of the retreat is integrating self-care rituals that are aligned with Ayurvedic principles. Each day, attendees will be introduced to a set of daily rituals designed to support healing and balance, and we encourage you to explore and try them for yourself.

​

As part of the retreat, each attendee will receive one complimentary massage or facial. Additional treatments are available for those who wish to indulge further.

​

In addition to the retreat experience, you’ll leave with valuable knowledge of self-care practices that can easily be incorporated into your daily life at home, empowering you to maintain balance and well-being long after the retreat ends.
