The Lotus Room Yoga Retreat 2025: Portugal
Thursday 4th - Monday 8th September 2025

A yoga retreat to return to Self in the heart of nature & recharge your vitality

Retreat to Portugal!

This year, we invite you to a charming retreat space, a house of traditional Portuguese architecture, nestled amidst the rolling hills of Vale de Arruda, with panoramic views of Serra da Estrela and Serra do Caramulo. Enjoy three serene terraces that surround the house, providing the perfect spot to bask in the sun, unwind in the shade, or witness breathtaking sunsets over Serra da Estrela.
The Esporão stream meanders through the estate, forming the stunning "Os Caldeirões" canyon. Its tranquil sounds and soothing waters create an atmosphere of deep relaxation.
Cool off in one of the stream’s natural pools during the warmer months, or take a mindful walk to the water mine, "Fonte dos Amores," a historic source once famed for its healing properties for gastrointestinal problems and was once certified by the Portuguese Thermal Baths.

Experience Yoga & Meditation in beautiful nature

Our yoga space features expansive windows that frame the lush landscape, offering the sensation of practicing outdoors while remaining sheltered in comfort. Big windows offer an inviting landscape of the surrounding nature and the majestic Serra da Estrela.

A Connection with Horses

Enjoy the peaceful presence of horses living semi-freely on the estate. Spend time with the herd, observe their natural rhythms, or, upon request, enjoy a guided walk alongside these magnificent creatures.

Sleep well

Indulge in a restful night's sleep in the comfort of the cozy bedrooms, the perfect haven to unwind in after a fulfilling day of activities, group work, yoga, and nature walks. Whether you choose to relax in your room or socialize with like-minded people in the communal spaces, these bedrooms will become your home away from home. Each morning, awaken to sweeping valley views, crisp mountain air, and the peaceful embrace of nature.

Eat well

Our chef friend Melania, will ensure that you enjoy delicious and nutritious vegetarian meals that are both healthy and environmentally conscious. All ingredients are locally sourced, organic, and aligned with the season. We can gladly cater to your individual dietary needs, offering a range of vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free alternatives to satisfy your taste buds.
Pause for a revitalizing break anytime throughout the day, and treat yourself to an assortment of refreshing beverages, including tea, coffee, and fresh, seasonal fruit. Indulge in a truly nourishing culinary experience, designed to nourish your body and soul.

Leisure time!

With 50 hectares of pristine land to explore, you can wander for hours without encountering another person. Choose from various hiking trails of different lengths and difficulty levels, or embark on a mountain biking adventure across the estate.
If you prefer to relax, enhance your retreat experience with a soothing massage at the venue. Allow skilled hands to release tension, improve circulation, and bring you into a deeper state of relaxation and well-being.
