Sometimes we know deep down that we need a break—and yet we keep putting it off. This retreat is your invitation to put yourself first for once. Not only after everything is done, but right now. Step away from your daily routine and dive into a week filled with exercise, the ocean, a sense of lightness, and real time just for you.
Self-care isn’t just about finding peace. It’s also about allowing yourself to have new experiences. Maybe you’ll step outside your comfort zone, try surfing for the first time, or discover a new side of yourself on the yoga mat. You can be brave, push your limits, and see just how much more you’re capable of than you sometimes realize—all without any pressure to perform and at your own pace.
You’ll meet women who, just like you, are longing for a special break. Strangers can become valuable connections, leading to honest conversations and perhaps even new friendships. At the same time, there’s plenty of space for you to step back and simply find yourself. You decide for yourself at any time what’s best for you.

Surf & Yoga Retreat 2027 -
By Women, For Women
May 22, 2027 – May 29, 2027
15 women / 7 nights / yoga / surfing / ocean
And if the thought of traveling alone has held you back so far: You don’t have to take this step alone. We’ll support you in planning your trip and help you organize the group trip from Germany. That way, the sense of community doesn’t just begin in the Algarve—it starts on the way there.
Maybe right now is the moment to stop just dreaming about it and make a decision for yourself. Treat yourself to memories, renewed energy, and the wonderful feeling of having surpassed your own expectations.
Our Quinta – Your Home in the Algarve
For our retreat, we looked for a place that’s more than just a beautiful place to stay: a place to settle in, take a deep breath, and feel at ease.
Our quinta is nestled in the natural surroundings of the western Algarve and is all ours during the retreat week. Spacious rooms, a pool, and various quiet corners offer plenty of space for community—and just as much time just for you.
For our yoga practice, we have a dedicated indoor yoga area as well as a spacious outdoor yoga deck with a view of the countryside.
A temporary home for yoga, good food, new encounters, tranquility, and plenty of that Portuguese vibe.
Your
Host
In her yoga practice, Michaela Bochmann combines the joy of flowing movement with a deep understanding of the body. As a certified yoga teacher and track and field coach, she brings together experience from various worlds of movement—from powerful, intelligently structured sequences to emotional “Inside Flows,” in which music, breath, and movement merge.
For her, it’s not about perfection or striking the most spectacular poses. For Michaela, yoga means becoming more aware of her own body, developing strength and flexibility, and at the same time creating moments when her mind can finally quiet down.
In her retreats, she combines all of this with her love for the ocean, movement, and special places. She wants to create a space where women can try new things, push their own boundaries a little, experience a sense of community—and still have enough time to simply be with themselves.
Your
Surf Instructor
While surfing, you’ll be accompanied by a local surf instructor who calls the Algarve home and knows the coast, its surf spots, and the local conditions inside and out. She brings not only experience on the board but, above all, a keen sense of which spot is best suited for our group on any given day.
Whether it’s your first time on a surfboard or you already have some experience, the focus is on safety, fun, and the confidence to try something new. And along the way, we’ll explore the Algarve with her from a local’s perspective—even off the beaten path.
Here’s what your day with us might look like
You’ll start your day without any rush. We’ll meet on the yoga mat for an energizing Morning Flow that will wake you up and get you in the right mood for the day. Afterward, a healthy breakfast made with fresh ingredients, coffee, and juices awaits you.
Next, we'll head toward the Atlantic Ocean. If you've booked the surf package, your surf session is waiting for you. Would you rather stay on land? Then this time is all yours—the pool, the beach, a book, or just relaxing.
After surfing, we’ll refuel with a light lunch. We make a point of keeping our afternoons varied: short hikes along the coast, discovering hidden coves, browsing local shops, exploring Portuguese crafts, grabbing ice cream in the nearest coastal town, or simply spending a few hours by the pool. And of course, you’re free to decide at any time whether you’d like to join in or would rather enjoy some time to yourself.
In the evening, we gather on the mat once more—sometimes for an emotional “Inside Flow,” sometimes for mobility exercises, stretching, or a peaceful yoga session. Afterward, it’s time to eat together, have a glass of wine, enjoy good conversation, and maybe even take in the sunset.
After all, vacation is just as much a part of this retreat as yoga and surfing.
Our Rooms & Rates
Your Room – A Retreat with Character
Even when it comes to accommodations, the retreat week should feel like a vacation. The Quinta’s rooms are spread across two beautiful villas and combine Portuguese charm with a peaceful, natural atmosphere.
You’ll stay in a double room with a double bed, which you’ll share either with your girlfriend or with another retreat participant. This creates space for new encounters—and maybe a new friendship will begin right here.
At the same time, the rooms serve as your personal retreat where you can unwind after yoga, surfing, and shared experiences.
Arrive, put down your bag, and feel right at home for a week.
