Food & Nature: Women’s Wellness Retreat – Azores, Portugal
Theme: NOURISHMENT
5 nights

A soul-stirring journey designed to feed both body and spirit. Nothing like five nights of full-body replenishment on a volcanic Azores island. You rise with ocean breezes and gather for chef-prepared farm‑to‑table meals that delight your senses and fuel your soul. Mornings flow into barefoot garden walks, ocean dips, and journaling rituals—moments that ground and reconnect you. Focused on your nourishment, this retreat offers heartfelt sisterhood and a transformative pause.

Nestled on a lush volcanic island in the Azores, this five-night retreat allowed women to slow down, reconnect, and truly nourish themselves through food, nature, and community. The retreat centered around the rhythms of the land and sea, offering a grounding space for reflection and restoration.

Each day is a celebration of flavor and intention, featuring gourmet, refreshing meals crafted under the direction of renowned executive chef Vítor Sobral, who flies in from mainland Portugal. With ingredients harvested right on the property, every bite honors the island’s bounty—fresh, vibrant, and deeply satisfying.

Participants stay in serene, glass-and-wood lodges perched above a black sand beach, where waves crashed below like a meditative drumbeat. Daily moments of stillness and movement—whether journaling, ocean dips, or barefoot walks through garden paths woven seamlessly into the experience.

It was a retreat to come home to yourself through every shared meal, every ocean breeze, every moment of nourishment.

Relish the Sunlight.
Embrace Wellness.

Wake to the sound of waves crashing on volcanic black sand. Step out onto a panel of glass and wood, greeted by the Atlantic breeze and warm island light. This is a space to reset where every moment invites you to slow down and savor the now.
