Slow Living Retreat
Alentejo, Portugal
3rd - 8th October 2026
Join Abbi for a five-night retreat in the rolling hills of Alentejo - a chance to escape the noise, and return to a slower, more natural rhythm of life.
Set in a peaceful haven surrounded by wild landscapes, days here unfold gently – breaths deepen, space opens, and your connection to nature is naturally restored. Together, we'’ll move, explore, and reconnect through yoga, nourishing meals made with local produce, sunshine, and time to simply be.
Rooted in the essence of slow living, this retreat invites simplicity, connection and presence - thoughtfully designed to help you leave feeling grounded, restored and inspired by the joy of slowing down.

The Venue
Nestled in the tranquil landscapes of southern Portugal, this family run retreat space is a peaceful haven where sustainability, community, and comfort meet. With 9 acres of private gardens and forest, a pool, gym, sauna, and outdoor yoga platform shaded by oak and pine trees, it’s a sanctuary for those seeking both nature and ease. Set off the beaten path but an easy 1.5 hr drive from Lisbon airport and 15 minutes from the beautiful coast, it feels quietly remote but easy to reach.
The accommodation blends modern design with natural textures and Portuguese charm. Choose between hillside rooms with terraces overlooking the landscape, or cosy rustic rooms full of character - each with its own bathroom and thoughtful comforts.
