LOCATION: QUINTA DO PINHEIRO, PARQUE NATURAL DA RIA FORMOSA

DATES: JUNE 15-21, 2026

Olha meninas ! Portugal, one of our all time favorite places on the planet, has long been on our retreat wishlist but we haven’t landed the right spot until now. We could not be more thrilled to gather at this 19th century farmhouse on the southeastern coast of Portugal’s stunning Algarve region.

While Quinta do Pinheiro is just a few minutes bike ride to the sandy beaches of the Atlantic, it is also nestled in the iconic Ria Formosa Nature Reserve — an absolute treasure trove for nature lovers. The historic estate is surrounded by pine forests, avocado orchards and a vineyard where wine production has recently been revived. It has been meticulously restored by Dutch owners who have managed to preserve its original charm and traditional architecture. There are five beautiful casinhas on the property, two swimming pools, a stunning yoga space, and endless verdant patios and nooks in which to relax the day away.

Come join us for six days of easy-does-it, early Portuguese summer bliss. We will nourish our bodies and souls on all levels — through twice-daily Pilates, fascia flossing, yoga and dance, our ever-abundant mealtimes and refreshing pool dips, tranquil walks along the Ria Formosa, and daily adventures through the charming villages that dot this costa maravilhosa. Come slow down with us, move with us, and may we toast to ease, to heart, and to sisterhood . . .
