Details

Step away from your everyday routine and join Hazel for three nights of yoga, sunshine and time to yourself in the beautiful eastern Algarve.

Set among orange groves and wildflowers on a 50 hectare family owned estate, Casas da Quinta de Cima is a boutique hotel full of character, comfort and quiet corners. With the venue exclusively ours for the weekend, we’ll have space to unwind, enjoy the surroundings and feel completely at home.

Our days will bring together flowing yoga, calming breathwork and deeply relaxing restorative sessions, with plenty of time to rest by the pool, read a book or simply do very little.

We’ll explore the local landscape on foot, take a short boat crossing to the beautiful Praia da Fábrica for beach yoga, and enjoy a leisurely lunch in the nearby village. Another day will take us through the islands and waterways of the Ria Formosa on quiet solar powered boats, finishing in Tavira for a two course lunch and a little wander through its lovely streets.

Throughout the weekend, we’ll share delicious meals, relaxed conversation and the simple pleasure of having everything organised for you.

Come by yourself and meet lovely people, or bring a friend. There will be options throughout the yoga sessions, so you can practise at your own pace and take the rest you need.

Our Beautiful Venue :

Casas da Quinta de Cima combines the warmth of a family estate with the comfort of a boutique hotel. Its thoughtfully restored suites and villas sit within a working agricultural estate, surrounded by citrus groves and close to the beaches of the Ria Formosa.

Choose a standalone suite or a bedroom within one of the villas, with private or shared bathroom options. The villas also benefit from their own private pools.

It’s a beautiful setting for a weekend of movement, fresh air, good food and proper rest.

Food: Authentic Portuguese Cuisine:

Throughout the retreat, indulge in traditional Portuguese cuisine prepared with fresh, local ingredients. Start each day with a delicious breakfast, and enjoy lunches at local restaurants during your day trips, savoring the regional flavors. Each evening concludes with a three-course dinner at Cima, featuring the best of Portuguese culinary traditions. Meals are crafted to nourish and delight, providing an authentic taste of Portugal.

Coastal Hike, Beach Yoga & Village Lunch

Explore the natural beauty of the eastern Algarve with a scenic walk towards Fábrica, followed by a short boat crossing to the beautiful Praia da Fábrica.

With soft sand beneath your feet and the sound of the sea around you, Hazel will guide you through a beach yoga session, taking time to stretch, breathe and soak up this gorgeous setting.

Afterwards, we’ll head back across the water for a relaxed two course lunch in the local village, before returning to the hotel for a chilled afternoon.

Solar Boat Trip & Lunch in Tavira

Enjoy a beautiful two and a half hour boat trip through the islands and waterways of the Ria Formosa aboard solar powered boats, reserved just for our group.

These wonderfully quiet boats let us enjoy the scenery and sounds of the water without the noise of an engine. Sip water, juice or a glass of wine as we take in the views and make our way towards Tavira.

Once there, we’ll have time for a little mooch through the pretty streets before enjoying a two course lunch at a lovely restaurant Hazel visited during the summer. There’ll be time to explore a little more before our transfers take us back to the hotel for the evening.
