Portugal

Picture a magical, volcanic island, full of natural  beauty, and endless outdoor activities in a comfortable maritime subtropical climate. Sound too good to be true? This land exists, and it’s closer than you think! Now are you interested in leading an Azores Yoga Retreat?

Often referred to as the “Hawaii of the mid-Atlantic,” the Azores are a chain of 9 volcanic islands located off the coast of Portugal, and only a 4.5 hour direct flight from Boston or New York City. São Miguel, the island where we host our Azores yoga retreat, is the largest of the 9 islands, and is the perfect off-the-beaten-path destination for those seeking adventure and exploration.

From stunning black sand beaches featuring world class surfing, to hikes through rolling pastures and around lush volcano rims, to soaks in natural hot springs, this island truly has something for every type of traveler. Combined with daily fitness classes and fresh, locally sourced food and wine, and you will never want to leave this incredible land!

Our itineraries are always customizable. That said, we have run dozens of these Azores yoga retreats and have curated an amazing 5 night, 6 day experience. We include guided hikes and tours to some of the islands most impressive views and natural wonders. Each experience includes a beautiful, and healthy picnic lunch in a stunning location. We provide ample free time to explore other sights, or participate in countless tours and adventures like horseback riding, cooking classes, sea kayaking, canyoning and more! And no Azores yoga retreat would be complete without tasting all the island has to offer culinarily. We include two dinners off-site which where fresh, farm-to-table ingredients are served in quaint dining environments. Ask about adding a wine tasting and vineyard tour to your itinerary, so you can taste the volcanic soil in the delicious local wines.
