Salt & Stillness — A Retreat on the Wild Coast

🔥 Only 2 spots left!Up to 5 guests

Five days. Five women.


Tucked into the wild hills of Aljezur — one of Europe's last unspoiled coastlines — this retreat is intimate by design. Five guests, one house, one host who is fully, completely present with you for every moment of it.

The kind of place where you wake up slowly, eat well, move your body in ways that feel good, and go to bed feeling more like yourself than you have in years.

it was so relaxing, i lost track of time

Where You'll Be

Aljezur Portugal

Raw, real and quietly magical. Sea views from the garden, surf beaches five minutes away, cork trees and wildflowers and the kind of light that makes everything look golden. This corner of Portugal still feels like a secret — and for four nights, it's yours.


Getting here.

Fly into Faro and Aljezur is just over an hour's drive — one of Europe's last truly wild coastlines, sitting inside a protected natural park where the land still looks the way it's supposed to. Cork trees, clifftops, wildflowers, and that particular quality of light that makes everything feel slower and softer the moment you arrive.

How you'll feel when you leave.

You'll leave Aljezur having dropped down into a gear you forgot existed. Fully rested. Properly nourished. Looked after in a way that makes you realise how rarely you actually allow that to happen.

Most of us are so used to being the one who holds everything together that we've forgotten what it feels like to just... put it down. For four whole days, you don't have to hold anything. Someone else is cooking. Someone else is thinking about the details. Your only job is to show up and receive.

And here's the thing nobody tells you about taking four days just for yourself — it isn't selfish. It's the most generous thing you can do for the people around you.

Because when you give yourself this kind of rest — really give it to yourself, without apology — something shifts. You go home fuller. More patient, more present, more you. The version of you that isn't running on empty.The people around you feel it.

The version of you that shows up after this retreat is the one that had the courage to say — I matter too.

That ripple starts here.

Give yourself four days. Come home and give everyone around you the best of you.

Frequently Asked Questions

A beautiful private villa in Aljezur, on Portugal's wild southwest coast — one of Europe's last truly unspoiled coastlines. Five minutes from the beach, straight out of the garden gate onto the famous Fisherman's Trail, with sea views and the kind of light that makes everything feel golden. Full address is shared upon booking.
Not even a little bit. The yoga here is gentle, slow and completely accessible to all levels. It's designed to help you feel good in your body — not to challenge, achieve or impress.
Fly into Faro — it's just over an hour's drive from the airport. I’ll help you organise a shared transfer with the rest of the group so nobody has to figure it out alone. The retreat starts the moment you land.
Absolutely — most guests do. This is one of the best things about keeping the group so small. You'll arrive as a stranger and leave feeling like you've known these women for years. If you're booking the shared twin room solo, you'll be paired with someone who also chose this, who's ready for this, who gets it.
Everything you need to fully arrive and let go. Four nights accommodation, all meals, gentle yoga, breathwork with Annie, a guided horse ride, the Fisherman's Trail walk, a farmers market visit, beach trips, all transport to and between activities, and a gift bag. The only things not included are flights, your airport transfer, and any personal spending at the market. Oh, and alcohol — not included, but absolutely not frowned upon. Balance is the whole point. 🥂
Five. That's it, that's the answer. Five guests, one host, one house. It's intimate by design — because real rest and real transformation don't happen in a room of thirty.
Layers for the evenings — October in Aljezur is warm but the nights can be cool. Comfortable clothes for yoga and walking, a swimsuit for the pool and beach, good walking shoes or grippy trainers for the trail, and a little cash for the farmers market if you'd like to pick up something special. Everything else is taken care of. I’ll send you a full suggested packing list when you book.
There is a link on the main page to book. A non-refundable deposit of £500 secures your spot, with the remaining balance due 4 weeks before the retreat.
All payments are non-refundable. With only five guests, every spot is essential to the retreat running as it should. We'd strongly encourage you to take out travel insurance to cover yourself for any unexpected changes — it's a small thing that means you can book with complete peace of mind.

Food & Dining

All meals are prepared by your private chef — slow, seasonal, nourishing and made with love. Think long lunches in the garden, dinners around a candlelit table, and breakfasts that you'll actually sit down for. All dietary requirements are catered for, just let me know when you book.
