Wellness Escape: 8-Day Yoga & Rock Climbing Retreat in the Algarve

This retreat offers a unique mix of yoga and rock climbing, set in a stunning location on the edge of the Costa Vicentina natural reserve in the Algarve. The morning yoga classes focus on warming up the muscles and ligaments, preparing you for a day of climbing. After breakfast, you'll be shuttled to the climbing spots, where certified instructors guide you on safe and enjoyable routes. The climbing is suitable for all levels, with routes chosen to match the group's ability.

After a morning of climbing, you return to the villa for a fresh lunch. The afternoons are yours to enjoy the villa's amenities, like the large private pool, the hammocks, or the chillout area. You can also explore the nearby beaches, go for a hike in the natural park, or engage in optional activities like mountain biking, golfing, or kayaking. An evening Yin Yoga class helps to soothe and relax the body after the day's exertions.

The villa itself is a standout feature. It's a modern, air-conditioned property with five comfortable rooms, a spacious living room with a fireplace, and multiple terraces offering privacy and stunning views. It's fully equipped with a modern kitchen, and there's a laundry room. The property is surrounded by Mediterranean gardens, and the pool area is a great place to unwind and meet fellow guests.

The hosts, Jenni and Igohr, are passionate about creating a family-like atmosphere.
