6-Day Women's Wellness & Creativity Escape in the Algarve

This retreat is all about giving women over 45 the space they often don't get at home. It's a chance to step away from being a mom, partner, colleague, or caregiver, and simply be yourself for a week. The program includes gentle yoga and mindfulness sessions in the mornings, creative workshops in the afternoons, and a couple of local excursions to places like the cliffs and the beach. You'll have free time each day to rest in the garden, use the sauna, or read by the pool. The food is a highlight – private chef Simone prepares fresh, Mediterranean-inspired meals with local ingredients, served at a beautifully set table. The group is small, with a maximum of eight women, which means you'll quickly feel comfortable. The host, Sanne, encourages a relaxed pace: "You set your own pace," she says. "The schedule is designed with a balance between movement and rest." The retreat takes place at Land in Sight, a nature lodge near Aljezur in the western Algarve, a region known for its wild beaches and laid-back vibe. The lodge is surrounded by nature, with a pool, sauna, and plenty of quiet spots. This is not a fitness bootcamp – it's about recharging, having fun, and connecting with other women in the same stage of life.
