Azores Islands: Wellness Retreat in Portugal

Are you ready to immerse yourself into Portuguese Culture? Come with us to Terceira in the Azores Islands of Portugal, from July 14 -  20 2025

Unite with Andrea and Kim in an extraordinary journey focused on uplifting your BODY, MIND, and SPIRIT to unparalleled heights!

Nestled in the midst of the North Atlantic Ocean, the Azores archipelago offers a serene and captivating setting for a retreat that rejuvenates both body and soul. Your retreat begins at a charming Luxe boutique hotel tucked away in the hills. The air is crisp and fragrant, carrying hints of ocean breeze and the earthy aroma of Azorean pine forests.

Each day starts with gentle yoga sessions on a terrace overlooking the Atlantic, as the rising sun casts a golden hue over the horizon. The soothing sound of waves crashing against black volcanic cliffs sets a tranquil rhythm for morning meditation sessions.

The Azores are known for their natural hot springs, beautiful hiking trails that lead to hidden waterfalls cascading into crystal-clear pools. Food on the island is sourced from local delicacies prepared with fresh seafood, cheeses, and vegetables sourced from nearby farms. The flavors are rich and distinct, influenced by centuries of maritime culture and Portuguese tradition.

In the Azores, time slows down, allowing you to reconnect with nature and yourself. Whether practicing mindfulness amidst ancient landscapes or simply basking in the island's natural beauty, a retreat in the Azores promises a transformative experience, leaving you with memories to cherish long after you depart.
