retreats & workshops

Looking for a relaxing retreat in the heart of the mountains? Our location is the perfect setting for you.

Nestled in a secluded valley in Serra de Monchique, surrounded by nature’s beauty, we offer stunning views of Mount Foia, the Algarve’s highest peak. Close to the south and west coasts of Portugal, we enjoy clean Atlantic air, exceptional air quality, and no light or sound pollution—perfect for immersing yourself in practice under the sun, moon, or stars.

“Allow the fresh mountain air to energise you from the outside in!”

We offer a range of retreats, with flexible options to suit your itinerary and budget. Choose from our listed retreats or enjoy a personalised 3-day yoga mini-break—ideal for a short, rejuvenating escape, just ask us for details.

Treatments

We collaborate with local holistic therapists to provide treatments such as Reiki, massage, sound healing, and even tattooing* (subject to availability).

Food

Our vegetarian meals are home-cooked and packed with goodness, using our own organic produce whenever possible. Other fruits and vegetables are sourced locally from nearby growers.

We’re happy to answer any questions and look forward to welcoming you to Rural Escapes Portugal!
