Location and Atmosphere
What is up with Portugal? It seems like everyone wants to travel there, move there, live there nowadays! Come explore the colorful, chilled-out Portuguese way of life with us at this yoga retreat at one of the most unique, sustainable venues in Portugal! Sip an espresso and watch the world go by at a street-side cafe. Paddle through stunning sea caves and watch out for dolphins on the horizon. And most importantly, get to know yourself better while you slow down and soak in the natural beauty of our home base in Portugal’s southern “Algarve” region.
Rural Escapes Portugal provides an inviting atmosphere surrounded by lush greenery and panoramic views of the Algarve region. The property features charming, eco-friendly accommodations designed to make you feel at home in the surrounding nature while providing all the amenities you need for a restful stay. From cozy, communal spaces to tranquil gardens, you’ll find plenty of spots to unwind, reflect, and connect with fellow participants.
The retreat location is strategically positioned for easy access to Monchique, a charming town known for its rich history and natural beauty. The town itself boasts cobbled streets, traditional whitewashed houses, and stunning views over the surrounding hills and coastline. You’ll discover local shops, quaint cafés, and markets where you can experience authentic Portuguese culture.
“Rural Escapes Portugal is set in six hectares of land with stunning views of valleys and mountains, Rural Escapes Portugal still has an intimate feel to it as they accommodate just 12 guests at any time, giving you an exclusive yet affordable experience. So if you are looking to get away from it all, then you really don’t need to look any further!”
June weather in the Algarve region usually brings hot, beach-weather days and balmy, comfortable nights. The average temperatures during our retreat week range from 64-78 degrees F (18-26 degrees C).
