A glimpse into the retreat…

Ericeira is a coastal haven just beyond Lisbon, where ocean cliffs meet pine covered hills and time seems to drift with the tides. Golden beaches, cobbled streets, and a serene surf town energy invite you to exhale, breathe deeper, and simply be.

Your sanctuary is a tranquil 4 star luxury resort overlooking the Atlantic coastline, surrounded by nature and just a 10 minute walk from the beautiful São Lourenço beach. Begin each morning with yoga, followed by meals intentionally crafted to support women's wellbeing. Throughout the week, enjoy two massage treatments of your choice, designed to release tension and help your body reset.

Afternoons may lead you to exploring the charming cafés and boutiques in Ericeira with provided transfers, joining guided scenic hikes along the coastline, walking down to the beach, participating in wellness workshops on women's health and nutrition, or simply resting by the pool with ocean views at every turn.

Whether you're looking for rest, gentle inspiration, or the feeling of being completely looked after, our wellness retreats in Portugal invite you to soften into the present moment through mindful movement, nourishing food, restorative bodywork, and thoughtful workshops. It's a week to remember how good it feels to truly care for yourself.

Single, twin, and triple rooms are available. If you're traveling solo, we'd be happy to pair you with a roommate, or you can enjoy your own private room if that's what your heart desires. This experience is open to women of all ages.

When you give yourself the permission to rest, you reconnect with your strength and creativity. And from there, you can show up for yourself and others.

    Every meal is served buffet style, three times a day, so you can choose what feels good for your body in that moment.

No processed oils, no fillers, just real food that tastes delicious and makes your body feel good.

    The group is typically small and intimate, made up of women from different walks of life who are all there for the same reason: to recover from the weight of daily life and reconnect with themselves. Some women are navigating big transitions, others are just running on empty and need space to recharge. Everyone gets it.

    Throughout the week, you'll find moments of gentle inspiration, plenty of laughter, and the kind of conversations that go deeper than small talk. But there's also lots of quiet time, because we know that sometimes the best company is your own.

    Think of it as a sanctuary where you can be exactly who you are, feel exactly what you're feeling, and know that you're completely supported. No pressure, no expectations. Just space to breathe and remember what it feels like to truly care for yourself.
