It’s more than a retreat…

It is more than a Retreat...

Imagine waking up feeling truly rested.

You step outside with your coffee, sunlight on your face, the quiet hum of nature all around you.

Your day starts with Reformer Pilates, slow, steady, and guided by breath.

You feel your body open, settle, and come back to life.

 A mindset session to to help you let go of what's weighing you down and focus on what really matters. You spend your afternoon exactly how you need: floating in the pool, journaling under the trees, or simply doing nothing at all.

 Later, you’ll gather with others to cook a beautiful lunch or create something with your hands reminders of how good it feels to be present.

 This is your pause before summer ends space to reset, reconnect, and carry that feeling home.

Why This Retreat?

This retreat is your chance to stop for a moment. To step out of the noise and the constant doing, and remember what it feels like to move at your own pace. Set in the hills of the Algarve, just outside Loulé, this 3-night Reformer Pilates retreat is designed to give you space. Space to move, to rest, to feel like yourself again.

Each morning begins slowly. Coffee in hand, sunlight on your face, and the quiet hum of nature around you. Reformer Pilates is part of every day, but this isn’t about pushing harder or doing more. It’s about tuning in, moving with intention, and letting your breath lead the way. You’ll feel your body settle. You’ll feel your mind soften.

There’s structure, but there’s also freedom. You’ll join for mindset sessions that make sense, not fluff. You’ll have afternoons to float in the pool or lie in the sun or do absolutely nothing. You can paint, nap, walk, write. You’ll eat food that’s made with care and full of flavour. You’ll share good conversations over dinner as the sky turns gold.

By the time you leave, you’ll feel lighter. Not because you’ve done anything extreme, but because you gave yourself time. Real time. To breathe, to rest, to remember what matters. And that feeling? It stays with you. Long after the retreat is over.
