TALURDO, PORTUGAL
May 14 - 18 2026
ESCAPE FOCUS: ZEN
Our first all-inclusive retreat is officially open — and spaces are very limited.
Join us at a hidden ranch in the mountains near Silves, Portugal. A place with wide open skies, horses, and a feeling you can’t quite put into words — calm, grounding, and a little bit magical. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down the moment you arrive. This is not a luxury resort. It’s an escape with true traveller vibes — rustic, soulful, and deeply connected to the land.
THE VIBE:
Your days will begin with optional morning yoga and slow, easy breakfasts. In the afternoons, we’ll offer a mix of activities — paddleboarding, sound baths, meditation, crafting, cooking workshops and more — all designed to help you relax, explore, and reconnect. Everything is optional, so you can join in as much or as little as feels right to you.
There will also be sauna sessions and cold plunges for those moments when you want to reset, and horse trekking through the mountains for anyone who feels called to experience the land in a different way.
As the sun goes down, we come together for long, relaxed evenings — sharing local Portuguese food and wine, listening to live music from local musicians, and enjoying that special feeling of being far away from everything that usually fills your head.
This retreat is intimate and intentionally small, and once the spaces are filled, they’re gone.
If you’ve been craving something that feels meaningful, grounding, and quietly beautiful — a chance to step out of everyday life and into something simpler — we’d love to have you with us.

Refresh in our natural swimming pond. Without chlorine or salt, it offers a healing experience, accompanied by friendly frogs and dragonflies. Relax under the shade of five large Pine trees.

THE ACCOMMODATION:
Our Talurdo retreat offers a peaceful stay surrounded by nature, simplicity, and comfort.
​
There are five cabins and cottages which are all thoughtfully designed. Modern and cozy, but with that calm, rustic feeling that helps you breathe a little deeper. The cottages sleep 4 people while the cabins each sleep 2.
​
Have a look at each one and see which best suits your party size. We have priced them per property, rather than per person so if you would rather not share, you can enjoy the privacy of a whole cabin to yourself!
