🌿Yoga Retreat
Monchique Mountains 🌿
A long weekend or a week to reconnect with yourself, nestled in the heart of the Serra
Treat yourself to a rejuvenating wellness escape in a magical setting, located high above the Algarve, just minutes from Foia—the highest peak in southern Portugal. Surrounded by cork oak forests, rolling hills, and breathtaking ocean views, this peaceful haven invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover your inner calm.
The Monchique region is known for its lush landscapes, natural springs, and charming mountain villages. The retreat location offers a unique blend of nature and tranquility, ideal for those looking to unwind and recharge. Just a 1 hour and 15-minute drive from Faro International Airport, it’s easily accessible yet blissfully remote.
The climate in Monchique is mild year-round. Summers are warm and dry, with temperatures around 25°C, while winters are cooler and ideal for cozy indoor practices and hikes through the misty forest trails. Spring and autumn are particularly stunning, with blooming wildflowers and golden light pouring over the valleys.
