Yoga and Nature Retreat in Sintra – Atlantic Coast, Portugal

Yoga retreat in Sintra's nature, on Portugal's wild Atlantic coast

Five days of yoga, Ayurveda and nature, between the forested hills of Sintra and the surf beaches of Ericeira.

We stay in a secluded home in the Sintra hills, where the forest meets the ocean. From the door, wild trails lead down to hidden beaches, dramatic cliffs and some of the most beautiful coastline in Europe. It's a place to slow down, breathe and come back to yourself, just 40 minutes from Lisbon airport.

Why join us

🌿 Nature all around you. Forest walks in the hills of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape, and coastal hikes to Praia da Ursa, Praia da Adraga and Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe. Ericeira, Europe's only World Surfing Reserve, is close by.

🧘 A different practice every day. Morning yoga (Elemental Tattva Flow), meditation and pranayama, somatic movement, restorative yoga, sensorial experiences, a cacao ceremony and dance.

🌱 Food that nourishes. Ayurvedic, vegetarian and farm to table, from local regenerative farms. Every meal is seasonal and grown with care for the soil.

✨ Ayurveda you can take home. Workshops on an ancient science of living, including an Ayurvedic face massage you'll learn to do yourself.

🤍 A real community. Small groups of up to 12 people. In just a few days, strangers become friends. Many guests come on their own.

Everything is optional. Join every activity, or take your own time to journal, explore the forest or lie on the beach.
