Yoga Retreat in Portugal
Late Summer Bliss
18 October to 24 October 2026
Mohino Calmo, Villa do Bispo
For the second year in a row, we dive into a week of late-summer vibes and connect with the elements – the raw power of the ocean, the warmth of the Portuguese sun, the wild nature, and the stunning cliffs of the Algarve. Gather energy and light from the beautiful surroundings, which will carry us through the darker month ahead. Through the yoga practice we will ignite our inner fire, find joy and deep connection.
Let the wild nature and the sea nourish your soul – reconnect to your essence.

The Venue​
Moinho Calmo is a family-run, small and fine retreat in the middle of the untouched nature of the western Algarve and the beaches of the protected south coast. Furnished with love, Moinho Calmo is a place of peace and simplicity in the middle of an original Portuguese village.
​
Just a 10 minutes' car drive away are around 20 beaches, many of which are still unspoiled – whether for swimming, searching shells, walking, lingering and, of course, surfing. There are also numerous hiking and biking trails along the coast.
