“The yoga platform over the valley is the reason I keep bringing my groups back to Pachawa.”
Up to 20 guests on the land at once, which keeps the place a home rather than a venue.
Quiet after 11pm out of respect for the valley and the animals.
Vegetarian kitchen, mostly from our own gardens. Tell us about allergies early and we plan around them.
No single-use plastics, and please compost with us — the gardens run on it.
Dry toilets and solar hot water in parts of the land; water is precious here.

4.9(132) PT · EN · ES
6 cohorts hosted at Pachawa
Elena trained in Lisbon and has run slow-flow retreats across the Alentejo for the better part of a decade. She builds every itinerary around the light on the yoga platform, starting at sunrise and closing with breathwork by the fire.
Yin & Breath Reset
Five nights of yin yoga, guided breathwork and one silent day.
Jonas facilitates small men's circles built around honesty, cold immersion and long shared meals. He books the trucks for their privacy and keeps groups under twelve so everyone actually gets heard.
Circle & Cold Plunge Weekend
Three days of circle work, morning cold exposure and communal cooking.
Sofia has led more retreats at Pachawa than any other visiting facilitator. Her sound baths use gongs and crystal bowls on the yoga platform at dusk, followed by journaling around the natural pool.
Sound & Sisterhood
Four nights of sound healing, women's circle and garden-to-table meals.
Markus pairs a dynamic vinyasa practice with hands-on plant-based cooking classes drawn straight from the Pachawa food forest. His groups tend to be repeat clients from Berlin and Munich.
Move & Nourish Week
Seven days of daily vinyasa, cooking classes and one hike to the coast.
Inês studied dance therapy in Porto and brings ecstatic dance sessions to the dome, where the acoustics carry every drumbeat. Her afternoons are unstructured on purpose, so guests can nap, swim or write.
Move Freely, Write Deeply
Three nights of ecstatic dance, guided journaling and free afternoons.
Tomás has taught Vipassana for over a decade and treats the whole Pachawa land as a walking meditation trail. His retreats are quiet, strict on schedule, and consistently the highest rated on the property.
Five Days of Noble Silence
A structured silent retreat with sitting, walking meditation and one closing circle.
