Our Restore & Explore Yoga Retreat is designed with balance in mind. You’ll have plenty of free time to unwind and recharge, yet also be given the opportunity to explore and enjoy the vibrant beauty of Portugal. Chill by the private pool overlooking the beautiful coastline, take a local hike along the stunning coastal paths, wander to the local cafes for a pastel de nata and the best coffee, or switch things up and try a trailbike ride, paddle-boarding or a cruise on the retreat centre’s very own catamaran! Whether you’re seeking peace or adventure—or a little bit of both—this retreat is a perfect opportunity to nurture your body, mind, and soul.

Our retreat centre features three individually styled boutique apartments, each offering a unique atmosphere and an abundance of light. The spacious, south-facing apartments overlook the sparkling 40ft pool and boast incredible views of the countryside and coastline. Each apartment comfortably accommodates four guests in two shared bedrooms, with a modern clean bathroom with walk-in shower, comfortable lounge area, your own modern kitchen with that all important coffee machine and a beautiful leafy outdoor seating area.

Every space is designed for relaxation, with leafy, shaded terraces to enjoy a quiet moment away from the sun. Whether you choose to spend your days lounging by the pool, exploring the local area, or simply enjoying the stunning views from your private terrace, you’ll have the perfect base for your restore and explore yoga retreat.

We have exclusive use of the entire centre during our stay.

Sea Safari: Cruise the spectacular coastline aboard a catamaran, weaving through lazy rivers, twisty cliffs, and secret beaches. Anchor in a sheltered cove and dive into crystal-clear waters to snorkel the vibrant reefs, or paddleboard through the enchanting blue grottos. For those who prefer to relax, simply enjoy the breathtaking views from the boat while others splash about in the sparkling waters.

Paddleboarding: Glide along the coast to hidden beaches, accessible only by sea. Paddle through secluded coves and crystal-clear pools nestled in the coastal valleys. Enjoy a refreshing stop along the way and soak up the untouched beauty of these natural treasures. All equipment, including wetsuits, and expert tuition are provided, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident on the water.

Trailbike Riding or Hiking: Explore the twisty valleys of the Algarve on two wheels or on foot. Ride or walk through off-road tracks to a traditional white-washed village, taking in the unrivalled coastal views along the way. We’ll stop for coffee and cake in a sunny village café to refuel and soak in the local charm. Whether you’re cycling the 12-20km trails or simply enjoying a peaceful hike, this is the perfect way to discover the real Portugal.

Relaxation Treatments: After a day of exploration, indulge in some well-deserved pampering. Choose from a local massage to ease tired muscles, a refreshing facial to rejuvenate your skin, or a manicure to add a touch of luxury to your retreat. These treatments are arranged locally (and yes I have sampled them and they are amaazing!)

Your teacher

Hey there! I’m Rosie Marsland, founder of Rosieglo Yoga, and I can’t wait to share this special retreat experience with you.

My approach to teaching is all about connection, rejuvenation, and giving you a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether you’re new to yoga or have been practicing for years, I want you to feel supported and at ease.

My classes are designed to be nourishing and accessible, with a focus on building strength, cultivating ease, and calming the mind. I’ll encourage you to tune into the subtle shifts in your body and mind during our time together, and show you how these small changes can positively impact your life off the mat.

You can expect warm-hearted, welcoming classes with plenty of light moments to bring a smile to your face. And believe me, there’ll be plenty of smiles to be had in the beautiful setting of our retreat overlooking the gorgeous Algarve cost.

Some days you might want to take it slow, while other days you might feel ready to dive deeper into your practice. That’s the beauty of this experience—you can do as little or as much as you like.

Originally from Devon, I’m happiest when I’m near the sea, and I bring that same peaceful, expansive energy to my teaching. I’m so excited to guide you on this retreat in Portugal—whether you’re seeking deep relaxation, a little adventure, or simply a chance to reconnect with yourself, I can’t wait to welcome you.

Your typical retreat day

A typical day on our Restore & Explore Yoga Retreat offers the perfect balance of relaxation, rejuvenation, and adventure, allowing you to tailor your experience to your own pace.

You’ll start each day with a nourishing morning yoga session, designed to awaken the body and clear the mind, setting a positive tone for the day ahead. After yoga, you’ll enjoy a delicious breakfast by the pool, with fresh, local ingredients. Sip on freshly brewed coffee, enjoy a smoothie, or indulge in a selection of pastries, fruit, and yogurts—all while taking in the breathtaking views of the Algarve.

The rest of the day is free for you to relax, restore, or explore. Lounge by the pool, take a stroll to the beach, wander through the charming village, or hike the surrounding hills. If you’re feeling more adventurous, there are optional activities like paddleboarding, a boat trip along the coast, cycling, or even a rejuvenating massage. Or, if you prefer to simply unwind, grab a book and take a snooze in the shade.

In the late afternoon, we gather again for an evening yoga and meditation session, designed to bring a sense of calm and balance to close out the day. This gentle practice will help you release any remaining tension and prepare you for a restful evening.

As the evening unfolds, you’ll have time to relax with a swim, enjoy a light snack at your apartment, or head to one of the village bars and restaurants. One night we’ll fire up the grill for a traditional Portuguese barbecue with fresh fish, vegetable platters, and plenty of vinho verde to enjoy together.
