The Villa

Come by yourself, or with a friend

Our private villa is your home for the retreat — sun-soaked terraces, a pool to chill beside and a stunning indoor-outdoor gym. Sign up with a friend and share, or come solo and be paired with a holiday roomie (you'll always share with the same sex).

There's also the option to reserve a private room entirely to yourself.

The Food

Refuelling doesn't have to taste boring

Our chefs, Guy and Owen, know how to serve a nutritious, tasty feast. Every meal is served buffet style, so you choose exactly what goes on your plate — each one full of colour and packed with goodness.

Breakfast and lunch are vegetarian, with meat and fish options at dinner — finished off with dessert, because food is meant to be enjoyed. Tell us about any dietary requirements or allergies and we'll take care of it.

The Workouts

This is your retreat

All workouts are optional and every session can be adapted to you. There are two options each day — do both, just one, or chill by the pool instead.

We'll offer full-body strength and sweat / conditioning workouts, plus more restorative yoga and recovery sessions — all in our incredible indoor-outdoor gym at the villa.

Where do I fly into?

You'll need to arrive into Faro for us to collect you, however you plan on travelling to Portugal. If you arrive elsewhere in Portugal, you'll need to make your own way to the villa.

The car journey is around 25–30 minutes from Faro airport to the villa, and is included in your price.

I have dietary requirements, is that ok?

Of course. We'll be in touch after booking to discuss any dietary requirements or allergies and feed these back to Guy and the team so they're fully taken care of.
