Portugal·4 - 10 June 2028
COMING SOON. Get back to nature in stunning, pastoral Portugal. Enjoy farm-to-table meals, local wine and charming towns!
If you've always wanted to see the vast landscapes and unique architecture of Portugal, but don't know where to start the planning - this retreat is for you! Start your day with an invigorating practice in our peaceful yoga studio. Spend your afternoons exploring the local area or just taking a dip in our beautiful pool. You'll also enjoy daily farm-to-table meals - much of the food has been sourced off the land where we're staying. - Group Size: 18 - 22 guests - Luxury Score: 3.5 (out of 5) - Activity Score: 2.5 (out of 5) - Some Walking Tours - Cuisine: Vegetarian (Vegan / GF Possible) - Pricing: From mid $3,000s per person (Double Occupancy) From wine tastings at a local vineyard to thoughtfully curated + guided excursions, this retreat is the perfect mix of relaxation and exploration. You'll have the chance to fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Portugal's idyllic rural landscape, its charming small towns (like Tomar and Óbidos) and its delicious local wine! As with all of our retreats, everything is optional. During down time (or instead of excursions) you can grab a nap by the pool, read in one of the many lounges, walk in the meditation garden or enjoy an on-site massage. Need more adventure? We'll help you book additional activities nearby. By the end of our time together you'll feel refreshed, renewed and ready to step back into your life with joyful memories and new life-long connections.
Enjoy comfortable bedrooms that are nestled across several buildings on our expansive, pastoral retreat property. What once were stone structures supporting this farm, have been lovingly restored into modern, simple and well-appointed guestrooms and lounges.
You'll have the option to flow through daily yoga classes with our friendly and experienced instructors. Enjoy formats like vinyasa and flow in the mornings and slower modalities such as yin, restorative and gentle yoga in the evenings. All in our beautiful, fully stocked practice space.
Enjoy nourishing and intricate vegetarian meals. Much of what's served comes from the retreat center's own farm. Think yogurt, muesli, fruit, eggs, fresh bread and cheese for breakfast. Lunch and dinner will each be plated meals with a combination of soups, salads, entrees and desserts. Vegan and gluten free can be accommodated.
Our retreat center has a wonderful pool, with plenty of space to lounge and read a good book. You can also take time alone to walk the meditation garden, or to venture out to the walking trails that will take you to their calm pond and overlook deck.
One day we'll venture to the charming locale of Óbidos - a hilltop town encircled by a Roman fortress. There are many alluring town squares, shops and restaurants to explore as you wander down idyllic cobblestone streets.
Wine lovers rejoice. You'll be able to enjoy a glass of local wine with lunch and dinner if you choose to partake. We'll also visit a local vineyard for a wine tasting one afternoon. Portugal is the home to many delicious varietals such as Vinho Verde, Douro and, of course, Porto!
During your free time, there are so many ways to enhance your trip. You can indulge in an on-site massage or a guided horse therapy experience at the property's stable. If you'd like to explore more, we can set you up for additional active excursions off property.
Every Above Yoga Retreat has multiple certified yoga teachers on-site who will each lead a portion of the classes and support students in their practice. We find that an opportunity to participate in a variety of classes with various teaching styles adds to our guests’ overall retreat experience.
This will be our team's 3rd time leading a retreat at this venue in Portugal. Official retreat leaders and yoga teacher bios coming soon.

While at the retreat center, we are in the spectacular and quiet countryside of Portugal, so the focus is more on tranquility and disconnecting. However, we will visit many small towns for shopping, culture and exploring during our time together.
As with all Above Yoga Retreats, everything on this experience is optional. You are free to choose to participate in as much or as little as you want. Attend all offered yoga classes, just a few, or none at all. If you choose to come to yoga, you are welcome to take your practice at your own pace and modifications will be offered. If you'd like to skip any activity or excursion and choose to have more free time, you are encouraged to do so. No forced fun here!
The Ireland retreat was incredible! Yoga, culture, history, etc. perfectly balanced with rest and relaxation. Not to mention the incredibly fresh and delicious meals on-site and amenities at the retreat center (e.g. sauna, steam room, cozy lounges). Anna is a gift! She takes care of every detail, from the itinerary to the ground transportation. If you're considering going on a retreat, book it now!
Stephanie, Charlotte, NC (Ireland 2022 Retreat)
This was an absolutely amazing retreat. It has ruined all over trips for me. Anna was so wonderful and gave so much great information and detail I didn’t have to do much besides show up and be blown away with the experience.
James, Orlando, FL (Croatia 2023 Retreat)
Anna was on point with her communication throughout the entire process. There was never a question that I had that she hadn't already answered or wasn't available to answer in lightening speed. She was so relaxed and inviting the entire trip and never showed any sign of stress, even if there was a hiccup, which honestly, I can't remember if there was.
Amanda, Nashville, TN (France 2019 Retreat)
This trip was amazing! I had never been on a yoga retreat or traveled to Europe. From the beginning to end Anna had everything planned out and was extremely organized. She answered all of my questions and made sure all of us were well-prepared for international travel. I could not have asked for a better experience
Jennifer, Blacksburg, VA (Ireland 2018 Retreat)
This experience far exceeded my expectations. Anna truly has a gift for giving just the right amount of information and working behind the scenes to ensure an amazing experience for guests. I didn't quite know what to expect and had a bit of trepidation letting go and having the experience planned out for me (would I really like what was being planned?), but it turns out when Anna is planning all of the travel, you can let go of all your travel planning and have an amazing trip. Even if I would have tried to plan a trip myself, there is no way I could have made it this amazing (and worry free!), and I think that is really the advantage with someone so knowledgeable.
Meredith, Golden, CO (Croatia 2023 Retreat)
Above Yoga is the best!!! Excellent, clear and timely pre-trip communication which continues through the duration of the retreat. Laid-back yet still punctual, everything went extremely smoothly and there was zero stress. The balance of activities and relaxation was perfect for me and I especially appreciate the absolutely no-pressure vibe. Honestly I could have used a few more days!
Sarah, Milwaukee, WI (Ireland 2022 Retreat)
This was a very well designed retreat, on top of being the best vacation I have ever had. Getting to meet the other participants over Zoom was one thing that set this retreat apart- it helped get me excited to spend the week with an awesome group! Anna's emails in the months leading up to the trip were immensely helpful, and they were very detailed. I do not travel very much so the level of detail provided was huge, and made me feel like I had all of my "i"s dotted and "t"s crossed before heading overseas. While on our retreat, we ate delicious food, drank wonderful local wine, and had endless laughs with new friends. This was a special retreat and I feel lucky to have been part of it.
Megan, Denver, CO (France 2022 Retreat)
I must say that Anna is absolute magic. She manages to create an experience that caters to each individual while bringing us together as a whole. Whether it be a massage, a dip in the freezing (and invigorating) Atlantic, exploring the local towns and sights, taking classes, or opportunities for vulnerability, I felt like I had the perfect trip for me, despite this being a group of 20. Anna provided the perfect amount of guidance and freedom to get the most out of the week.
