Food & Nature: Women’s Wellness Retreat – Azores, Portugal
Theme: NOURISHMENT
5 nights
A soul-stirring journey designed to feed both body and spirit.
Nestled on a lush volcanic island in the Azores, this five-night retreat invited 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 was a celebration of flavor and intention, featuring gourmet, farm-to-table meals crafted under the direction of renowned executive chef Vítor Sobral, who flew in from mainland Portugal. With ingredients harvested right on the property, every bite honored the island’s bounty—fresh, vibrant, and deeply satisfying.
Participants stayed 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—were 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.

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 was a space to reset—where every moment invited you to slow down and savor the now.
