YourZen ABC
Spring 2026 Yoga Retreat – Portugal
7TH OF April to 12th of April 2026
Reconnect with Nature in pure untouched luxury
Surroundings
Here, under the vast Portuguese sky, you’ll share nourishing farm-to-table meals, wander nature trails, float in a crystal-clear biological pool, and reconnect with the rhythms that truly matter.
Our Quinta rests in the heart of the Vale do Guadiana, a protected paradise in southern Portugal’s Alentejo region. Just minutes drive from the historic white-washed town of Serpa, our retreat is embraced by rolling hills, cork oak forests, olive groves, and the shimmering Guadiana River valley.
The location's unique semi-arid landscape is alive with black storks, eagle owls, otters, and seasonal wildflowers. Here, nature’s soundtrack replaces city noise—the rustle of the wind through ancient trees, the soft call of birds, and the gentle hum of bees.
You are perfectly placed to explore Pulo do Lobo, "Wolf's Leap" the park’s most famous natural wonder, where the Guadiana River cascades through a dramatic rocky gorge. Scenic walking trails, birdwatching routes, and panoramic viewpoints are all within easy reach, offering the ideal backdrop for yoga, mindfulness, and pure relaxation.
Just 2 hours from Lisbon, this peaceful corner of Alentejo feels like a world apart—an unspoilt sanctuary where time slows, senses awaken, and the mind finds calm.
This is your invitation to pause, breathe, and rediscover the vibrant energy that lives within you.
Rest in Comfort, Surrounded by Nature
Luxury Eco-Accommodation
During your retreat, you’ll stay in beautifully designed ensuite bedrooms that blend modern comfort with sustainable living.
Our venue offers 10 spacious rooms — each with a king-size bed (180×200) or the option of two twin beds for shared occupancy, with three of these rooms available for single occupancy. Every bed is dressed with hypoallergenic bedding, ensuring a restful, allergen-free sleep after your days of yoga, nature walks, and deep relaxation.
Each room features a private bathroom with a heating system, heated towel rack, and sustainable, eco-friendly shower products — including bath gel and hand soap, all plastic-free to protect both your skin and the planet. You’ll also find a wardrobe, ceiling fan, and a hot water kettle with a tea set, so you can enjoy a calming herbal infusion in your own space.
We believe your bedroom is a space for rest, stillness, and reconnection, so there is no Wi-Fi in the rooms — only in the communal areas — encouraging a gentle digital detox during your stay.
This is more than a place to sleep — it’s your private sanctuary, created to nurture body, mind, and spirit while treading lightly on the earth.
Farm-to-Table Vegetarian Dining
Nourishment for Body & Soul
Our retreat dining is a celebration of fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced produce from the heart of Portugal’s Alentejo region. Each meal is lovingly prepared vegetarian, using ingredients grown nearby and infused with the flavours of the land — including golden local olive oil and artisan cheeses from neighbouring farms.
For those with specific dietary needs, vegan and gluten-free options are happily available — simply let us know at the time of booking.
You’ll connect with your tribe over nourishing breakfasts, light lunches, and delicious dinners, served in our warm and inviting indoor dining space or under the Portuguese sun in our outdoor garden setting.
In keeping with the spirit of deep rest and clarity, no alcohol will be served during our retreat — allowing your body and mind to fully recharge and rejuvenate.
