PILATES CONNECT – Portugal


The perfect combo…

For many (myself included), life’s pleasures don’t only include that one single thing. When it comes to retreats, we love to combine our passion for Pilates with something else. For our Pilates Connect retreat in Portugal, we will return to the most wonderful combination of daily Pilates and Yoga classes. Lisa Longhurst is BASI trained with a successful Pilates studio in Lagos, Portugal. Ann de Jongh will complete our movement bliss with her energizing Ashtanga and restorative Yin Yoga classes. Top that with a private assessment session and a massage… no need for hesitation—all levels are welcome!

A natural playground surrounded by pinetrees

Our home for this retreat week will be Monte Velho, a breath-taking yoga retreat venue with a stunning round yoga hall, sitting on top of the hills of the Algarve’s west coast. The spaciousness of the retreat and its surroundings invite to get lost and fully immersed in nature. Adjacent to a holistic riding center and just a 10-minute drive to the closest surf beach it is really a family-perfect space.

The holistic center is designed to offer all the comfort and space we will need for our practise and own time. The main temple Casa das Pinhas with its heated floor will be our practise and movement space. Between activities you can relax or study in a variety of calm and peaceful spaces with amazing views of the surroundings. The nearby natural lake is part of the property and perfect for a swim or a SUP excursion. A large common living room invites to make new friends and as we will have the whole place to ourselves we can sing and dance and shout as much as we like!

The closest airport is  Faro airport, from where it is a 1.5 hr drive to the retreat center. From Lisbon the drive by car is about 3 hrs. The most convenient it probably to rent a car, but if you would like us to help with your transportation let us know.

Please make sure you enquire about a necessary visa and passport validity according to your nationality.

 


Twin Share Room
  €1100* — 3 rooms left! —

As the availability for this retreat is limited, we recommend two people sharing a room.  All rooms are cosy and colorful with lots of light, twin beds and en suite bathrooms. Most have a terrace with a daybed and hammock, so you can find a nook for yourself. If you come with a spouse or partner, beds can be converted to a double bed and if you come alone and would like to share a room, we will match you with another participant (same gender).

 

Triple Shared Room  €990*

For groups of friends or those on a tighter budget, chose a triple shared room. All have an en-suite bathroom, mezzanine, living room and a terrace with daybed and hammock overlooking the landscape. For groups of 4 booking together, these rooms can be converted to 4 single beds (same pp price as triple). If you come alone and would like to share a room, we will match you with other participants (same gender).
