“Bliss Out”

A 6-Night Retreat in the Algarve Coast: Olhão, Portugal

October 29-November 4, 2026 - SOLD OUT!

November 5-11, 2026 - JOIN US!

A place for bliss.

We’ll be staying at Casa Fuzetta, an incredible private home in the heart of Olhão in the unspoiled eastern Algarve in Southern Portugal. This retreat oasis has been named one of the top ten retreat locations in the world three times by Travel & Leisure and twice by Conde Nast’s Traveller magazine as one of the best yoga retreats in the world.

Yoga, meditation, and our signature workshops will be held on rooftop and indoor yoga and meditation spaces fully equipped with mats and props.

Olhão, an ancient fishing town, is known for its picturesque streets, warm and hospitable people, local markets, and easy access to the outlying islands. The Algarve is one of the few areas in Europe to enjoy 300 days of sunshine per year. 

We’ll take a river taxi to the Island of Armona, savor a wine tasting and farmer’s lunch in a gorgeous vineyard, and enjoy a guided hike to the panoramic vistas of Saõ Miguel Hill.

Our “obsessed-with-flavor” private chef will prepare exceptional Portuguese fare as well as other nourishing meals inspired by global cuisines.
