Boutique Pilates & Clean Food Wellness Escape in Cascais, Portugal

This boutique Pilates and clean food retreat is meticulously crafted to provide a complete wellness experience in one of Portugal's most beautiful coastal settings. The philosophy behind the retreat is simple: nourish the body with clean, whole foods; move it with intention through Pilates; and give it the rest it deserves with massages and relaxation. The program is flexible and personal, allowing you to curate your days around your own needs, whether that means an extra session on the mat, a book by the pool, or an adventure along the coast.

The heart of the retreat lies in its Pilates program, led by Lotte, an enthusiastic teacher from Amsterdam who believes Pilates is a lifestyle that goes hand in hand with clean eating. Each day features two 50-minute sessions: a morning class by the pool to awaken the body, and an evening 'Ocean Pilates' session on the beach as the sun sets over the Atlantic. There is also an optional evening stretching session to unwind and release any remaining tension. With all-levels classes, both beginners and advanced practitioners will find challenge and growth in a supportive, non-competitive environment.

Food is a cornerstone of the retreat, with every meal thoughtfully prepared to be predominantly plant-based, complemented by high-quality organic proteins like salmon, eggs, or organic meat. The cuisine draws inspiration from Lisbon's health-conscious eateries, focusing on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and slow carbs, while avoiding refined sugars and processed foods. All meals are served buffet-style, and dietary restrictions are accommodated with advance notice. Enjoy endless matcha, kombucha, and healthy snacks throughout the day, all included in your stay.

The program also includes two 30-minute massages (with an option to extend to a full hour), a special cacao ritual facilitated by Julia, founder of Caluna Cacao, and a welcome drink. Your stay is further enriched with group excursions, workshops, and a course manual to help you continue your practice at home. With a dedicated shuttle at your disposal, you can easily explore the chic town of Cascais, visit local attractions, or simply enjoy the villa's lush garden and pool. By the end of the retreat, you'll leave feeling profoundly restored, with a renewed sense of vitality and a clear plan to carry your wellness journey forward.
