Portugal Beach Retreat
Seven days of yoga, beach fitness, meditation, water sports, nourishing food and relaxed villa living near Praia da Luz.
A retreat that balances movement with genuine downtime.
YogaLife’s Portugal Beach Retreat brings together yoga, group fitness, meditation, water sports and relaxed coastal living in a private villa between Lagos and Sagres.
Each day gives you structure without pressure. Join energising sessions, explore the beach, relax by the pool, enjoy freshly prepared meals and spend time with a supportive group of people.
All sessions are designed to offer options for different experience levels, so beginners and experienced guests can take part with confidence.
Built around your energy, ability and goals.
