Quinta da Comporta sits inside the Comporta natural area, south of Lisbon. The landscape is flat and open: rice fields, pine woods and sand dunes leading towards the Atlantic. The property has its own architecture and art programme, pool villas, townhouses, rooms and suites, a Japanese-inspired restaurant (INARI COMPORTA), a vegetable garden (Horta), the Oryza Spa, a fitness centre, the Oryza Lab and a dedicated Yoga Shala. Retreat guests use all of this as their base for the stay.

A typical day starts with a morning practice in the Yoga Shala, which could be yoga, Pilates, breathwork or meditation depending on the retreat. Breakfast follows, and then there's usually free time or a workshop before lunch. Afternoons are often left open for the spa, the pool or a walk through the rice fields, with a gentler evening session such as restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra or meditation before dinner. Exact timings and content come from the host of each retreat.

What sets these apart from many yoga retreats is the venue itself. Rather than a basic retreat house, you're staying at a design hotel with a full spa, a gym and its own kitchen garden, and the retreat runs alongside that. The other difference is the rotating line-up: each date is led by a different teacher, so you can pick by style. That might mean Kundalini one month, Pilates the next, or a longevity-focused weekend that mixes practice with talks.

The page doesn't list the teachers for the 2027 dates yet. Past retreats here have been led by Yvonne Rocca and Camille Kynoch (Pilates and yoga), Tina Konopatzki (yoga for the nervous system), Elsa Santos (Iyengar yoga), Kiki Felipe and Dipa Trivedi, Sarah Theresa (Yoga Nidra), Isabelle de Hovre and Irene Rompis (movement), and The Reformer Lab (Reformer Pilates).

Comporta is about an hour and a half by road from Lisbon, which makes a three- or four-night retreat easy to fit around a long weekend. Popular dates sell out. The Kundalini retreat in March 2027 already has, as did several 2025 and 2026 editions, so it's worth deciding early.
