8-Day Yoga & Wellness Reset in Ericeira, Portugal

The retreat runs on a weekly cycle, with guests arriving on Saturdays. The pattern of each day is consistent and easy to settle into. Mornings begin with a 75-minute Vinyasa Flow class indoors, which combines pranayama, movement, and meditation to energize the body and calm the mind. After a late morning brunch served as a buffet, the rest of the day is free. You can soak up the sun at the saltwater pool, take a walk along the coastal cliffs, or head into Ericeira to explore. The guesthouse has a fully equipped gym for those who want to keep up their fitness routine, and there are plenty of optional activities to book, including surfing lessons, SUP, mountain biking, and massages.

Evenings are for winding down. There's a 30-minute meditation session at 17:30, followed by a gentle flow or Yin yoga class at 18:15 that focuses on releasing tension and restoring the nervous system. Dinner is served as a veggie buffet at 19:30. The slow pace and consistent schedule make it easy to disconnect from daily stress and tune back into your body.

The property itself is home-like and unpretentious. It's set in a peaceful residential area, surrounded by a garden with hammocks, sunbeds, and the saltwater pool. There's also a sauna and ice bath, which guests can use freely for recovery and relaxation. The guesthouse hosts up to 21 guests in cozy 2, 3, or 5-bed rooms, creating an intimate, small-group atmosphere. Owner and yoga teacher Lia leads the practices and is known for her experience with trauma healing, bringing a grounding presence to the group.

The location is a major draw. Ericeira is a world-renowned surf reserve, and the guesthouse is just a short walk from the famous Ribeira d'Ilhas surf spot and the dramatic Atlantic cliffs. It's far enough from the crowds of the town to feel quiet, but close enough to walk to cafés and restaurants. Beyond the retreat itself, there are easy day trips to Sintra, Mafra, and Lisbon for those who want to explore more of Portugal.
