Portugal is a country blessed with golden sandy beaches, rugged coastlines, cosmopolitan and architecturally-stunning cities, and incredible weather. Throw in great food, lots of port wine, and it makes for a perfect holiday spot. There is a vibrancy to life here that is infectious. It’s hard not to be happy in this country!
This enchanting 10-day ayurvedic + yoga escape is brought to you by Joanna Wolczyk of Sublime Ayurveda Yoga in partnership with Rainforest Reef Escape. We have put together an exciting yoga adventure that will take you from the bustling streets of Lisbon to the beautiful southern coastline of the Algarve. ESCAPE TO PORTUGAL
Together we will explore three of the country’s most alluring destinations. We start with the country’s most captivating city, Lisbon. As the country’s capital, Lisbon is an obvious start to any Portugal itinerary. Its vibrancy and charm will quickly show you why its regularly voted one of the most interesting cities in the world. Next, everyone has heard of Lisbon, but how about Sintra? Peppered with ornate mansions and majestic woodlands, it’s hard to imagine a more fairytale-like place than Sintra. Located only an hour west of Lisbon, the kings playground is a fascinating study of history and creative architectural styles. After moving around and exploring for the first part of the trip, we’ll slow the pace in the Algarve, Portugal’s southernmost region lined with stunning Atlantic beaches, whitewashed fishing villages and cliffs overlooking sandy coves. Here we’ll enjoy several days of mindful relaxation and yoga within this peaceful environment. So be prepared to blend yoga, adventure, and relaxation on this captivating journey!
YOUR ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD
You will be staying in two beautiful boutique hotels along the way in Lisbon and Sintra followed by five relaxing nights at Quinta Vale Da Lama, a beautiful eco-resort located near Lagos on the Algarve. This lovely 43-hectare ecological estate features comfortable rooms, an enchanting yoga studio and is within a short walking distance from the beach and ocean. You will have your own private space and comfortable bed in a shared room that features two seperate floors, a private washroom, and plenty of space to call your own. Couples will have their own private room of course!
As for the Portuguese table, freshly baked bread, olives, cheese, red wine or crisp vinho verde (young wine), chargrilled fish, cataplana (seafood stew), smoked meats, the Portuguese have perfected the art of cooking simple, delicious meals. Sitting down to table means experiencing the richness of Portugal’s bountiful coastline and fertile countryside. Of course, you don’t have to sit; you can take your piping-hot pastel de nata (custard tart) standing up! At Quinta Vale Da Lama, you’ll also enjoy fresh farm-to-table vegetarian cuisine served mediterranean style. We’ve included a fun cooking class too so you’ll have plenty food to pair up with your port wine!
