Luxury Portugal Retreat

A dream-come-true retreat experience filled with pleasure. Set within this vibrant fishing village - a gem along the Algarve.

A incredible private villa including numerous open spaces to luxuriate, both outdoor and indoor studio spaces, stained glass window meditation room and rooftop saltwater pool.

Daily assortments of yoga, silent time, ayurvedic nourishment and heavenly massages created the most blissful as well as challenging yet rewarding experience of both introspection and connection to the other people on retreat.

Excursions to olive groves, islands and farmers markets provided a further taste of the beautiful local culture and land.

This was my first yoga retreat so had a few doubts about how I might fit in but Ella created a special environment where everyone bonded quickly. No stone was unturned, beautiful accommodation in a lovely space, refreshing yoga that was different every day and fabulous food that I think inspired everyone. After a difficult start to my year, it feels like 2023 has had the reset button pressed and I can now tackle it with renewed energy and fresh positive intentions. A huge thank you to Ella and everyone who was part of the experience.

Having never met Ella, I decided to book her luxury retreat in Olhao, Portugal and flew in from Germany. Not only was the retreat villa absolute bliss, Ella’s yoga classes were too. She has a very calming and nurishing way of guiding you through class - with options for every level making you feel at ease. She gathered a lovely group of yogis and yoginis who were all super nice and made the experience extra special. The food at the villa was amazing - prepared by a local chef who used local, fresh and healthy ingredients. I can’t recommend Ella’s retreat highly enough! Thank you Ella for this unforgettable and stunning experience!

The daily rhythms are so beautifully crafted - the morning silence that surrounds a really fluid outdoor yoga practice in a truly beautiful setting-open days, ending with truly relaxing evening sessions. What’s not to love!
