Accommodations

Located in Lagos on the Algarve coast, this unique family-run boutique hotel has breath-taking panoramic ocean views and is the oldest operating property in the area. Allow yourself to unwind in our comfortable hotel that combines traditional charm and modern luxury, nestled amongst idyllic surroundings. 

Sink into one of our beautifully decorated rooms, each named after one of the gorgeous local beaches. This is a place that soothes the soul and rejuvenates the spirit, making you feel at home instantly. From our lovingly-tended Italian garden to the outdoor yoga shala overlooking rolling hills, each space offers the opportunity to appreciate the tranquility of Southern Portugal. It is a calm oasis in a busy world. Buffet brunch and afternoon tea with cake are served daily along with local fare including fresh baked bread, eggs, and wine.

Dakini Jaeger

Dakini grew up in a ballet studio where the concept of taking care of one’s body was non-existent. It was a daily practice of pushing oneself beyond one’s limits where she learned that pain was a reward for being dedicated to the craft. Dakini, now the owner of CorePower Yoga in Denver, CO has been teaching many different styles of yoga since 2002 and has learned how to support the body again through alternative healing therapies. You will be enchanted by both the ease in which she guides you in your practice but also the deep individual attention you will receive as you advance your understanding of self and yoga. Dakini’s style mixes powerful yoga stamina with contemplative dharma themes.

The Algarve is the southernmost region of Portugal, famous for being blessed with nearly 3,000 hours of sunshine each year. With cool Atlantic waters and an eastern mountain border blocking out hot, dry winds from the north, growing conditions for fresh, flavorful fruits, vegetables, and herbs are excellent. Lagos is known for its wide and endless beaches, Mediterranean climate, safety, and fresh seafood cuisine.

While on your retreat you will also have the opportunity to take part in adventure activities and wonderful excursions. Some of the possible options include:

• Explore the pristine beaches peppered along the coast
• Bike along the cobbled streets of Lagos or down to a local beach
• Surfing
• Scuba diving
• Golfing
• Fishing
• Horseback riding
• And more!

*Price of some Activities are not included in tuition unless free or listed under inclusions.

Travel Insurance

We cannot emphasize more the importance of travel insurance. As we all know, especially as travelers, “life happens.” Whether it’s family, work, mother nature, or a change of heart, it is important to be prepared in case you need to unexpectedly change your travel plans. Often for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip. 

We have partnered with two insurance companies: Trawick International and CSA Travel Insurance (available for U.S. Residents only). 

Read more about our insurance partners and their policies here. We encourage you to research the insurance company and policy that best meets your needs.
