The Reforma Club: Reformer Pilates Retreat with Andrea Speir in Sesimbra, Portugal

Five days on Portugal's Atlantic coast with Andrea Speir, co-founder of Speir Pilates and one of the most followed reformer teachers in the world. Mornings on the reformer in the estate's own studio, long slow lunches under cork oaks, salt in the air and sun on your shoulders.

The estate is 130 hectares of protected coastline forty minutes south of Lisbon: stone architecture, cork oak forest on one side and the Atlantic on the other, a saltwater pool, an organic garden that supplies your table, and terraces built for breakfasts that run into lunch. Late April into May is Portugal at its best, warm but not heavy, before the summer crowds.

The group is kept small on purpose. Each day has one reformer or mat session with a theme (ground, fire, light, soar), then the rest of the day is yours: the pool, the daily sauna and cold plunge, a massage, the beach and the village. A cooking class and a Portuguese wine tasting are built into the week, and a private chef cooks every meal from local, seasonal ingredients.

This is Revamp Retreats' Reforma Club series, which has previously run in Tulum; this is the Portugal edition. It suits anyone with a Pilates practice, or a real wish to start one, who wants to train with a teacher who knows the craft and come home stronger.
