Women's Wellness Retreat Portugal
Five days, four nights in Sagres, Portugal
Daily yoga, movement & surf lesson
Mindset coaching & ceremonies
Full body massage, acupuncture & sauna ritual
Tucked into the cliffs of the Algarve, this women’s wellness retreat offers space to breathe, slow down, and reconnect without burning out. The week is built around balance, blending movement and stillness, rest and gentle adventure, with energising morning yoga or Pilates, calming evening practices such as Yin and yoga nidra, nourishing food, women’s circles, mindset support, a Lithuanian pirtis sauna ritual, optional surf, and time in nature.
In between guided sessions, you are free to choose what you need most, from cliff walks and ocean dips to massage, acupuncture, or quiet moments in the sun. Nothing is forced, just enough structure to help you feel lighter, more grounded, and more yourself, leaving calm yet courageous, restored, and clear about what comes next.
Stay for five days in our cosy guesthouse, just a short walk from the cliffs and beaches of Sagres. Rooms are simple and comfortable, with shared spaces for quiet reading, journaling, or connection. Outside, you’ll find a spacious garden, sunlit seating areas, hammocks, and a wooden deck for practice – a calm, grounding backdrop where everything in you can finally soften.
Sagres, known as the End of the World, is a place where raw cliffs meet the Atlantic and the horizon feels endless. Its powerful, unpolished beauty creates an immediate sense of space – both around you and within you. With its natural balance of stillness and adventure, it’s a setting that supports you effortlessly and makes life feel simpler, lighter, and easier to return to yourself.
Each morning starts with either vinyasa yoga or Pilates to awaken your body, build strength at a steady pace, and reconnect you with your breath. Evenings offer softer practices such as yin yoga and yoga nidra, designed to calm your system and help you land back in yourself after a day of exploring in nature. All sessions are open to every level – created to help you feel grounded, clear, and at home in your body again.
Mindset coaching is gently woven throughout the retreat to help you pause, reflect, and reconnect with what you want next. Nothing is forced, just open, honest space to hear yourself clearly and feel supported by women walking their own version of the same path. The aim is to help you leave with clarity, confidence, and a sense of direction that feels rooted, steady, and true to you.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or have surfed before, our surf lesson is designed to help you connect with the ocean in a way that feels playful, empowering, and safe. You’ll be guided by experienced instructors in a small group setting, no more than five students per coach, so you get personalised support and plenty of space to learn at your own pace. If the group has different experience levels, we’ll divide accordingly to make sure everyone feels comfortable and supported.
The lesson lasts around two hours and includes everything you need: surfboard, wetsuit, and round-trip transport from Aldeia Caiçara to the beach. The aim is to have fun, get into the water, and feel part of the natural rhythm that makes Sagres so special. It’s a chance to laugh, play, challenge yourself gently, and experience the simple joy of being held by the sea.
Each day you’ll enjoy a freshly prepared brunch and a delicious chef-made dinner: colourful, seasonal, and full of flavour. Expect vibrant bowls and comforting dishes that feel both wholesome and indulgent.
Food is served altogether in the ‘Shack’ so you can share, taste, chat, and laugh – the kind of meals that bring people together and feel like a highlight of the day. These meals are as nourishing for the body as the retreat is for the mind.
There’s plenty of free time built into the retreat so you can find your own rhythm – rest, wander, move, or simply be. Enjoy cliff walks, ocean dips, extra surf lessons, lunch in the local town, or quiet moments with a book in the sun. Every activity is optional, and nothing is ever pressured.
You’ll also receive a small welcome gift and thoughtful touches throughout the week to help you feel held and cared for. This retreat offers gentle structure and spacious freedom – a balance that lets you unwind fully and return to yourself at your own pace.

I participated in a retreat with Chaz and I feel so grateful, blessed and inspired. Chaz created a real safe space with amazing treatments. We experienced great activity’s, had beautiful talks and great impulses for reflection. Everything hold by a beautiful energy of female power and love!!

I have just spent the last 5 days on the Balance Retreat led by Chaz and at 31 years of age, I can quite honestly say this was the most transformative experience of my life.
The retreat itself was the perfect balance of wellness, reflection, fun and time to actually get to know the other amazing women. Moreover, the activities planned, truly allowed me to experience such joy and actually feel present (the first time in as long as I can remember).
I wish I had the words to summarise how truly special Chaz is, but there just doesn’t seem to be the right ones! What I can say is that she is a human sunshine, radiates warmth, facilitates the safest, most loving environment for us to look inwards and let go of anything holding us back, and created the most beautiful space for us all to really grow during our time together. By the end we all felt like a family, none of us wanted to leave!

I have just come back from Chaz’s balance retreat and could not recommend highly enough. From the incredible breath work session, to yoga/pilates, sauna ritual experience, surfing lessons and life coaching – it has everything that I didn’t even know I needed. And the food – yum! The group of women were a mix of ages, backgrounds and abilities who really gelled. Chaz has the purest, warmest energy and lives and breathes by the things that she teaches in this retreat. This is not just any retreat, it was something so special and the whole group really felt lighter and connected by the end. I’m pretty sure the whole group put their names down for her September retreat already!!

I just returned from Chaz‘s Balance Retreat and it has been an incredible experience. Chaz is such a kind soul that cares deeply for everybody and is set on making everybody feel comfortable and seen. The retreat has been so grounding, uplifting and simply wonderful to be surrounded by such amazing souls. Thank you Chaz, you have been incredible!! <3

Chaz is the kind of host who makes you feel seen from the moment you arrive. Warm, authentic, and genuinely open. Someone who is deeply committed to creating something real. The space held was generous and inclusive, and that set the tone for everything that followed. The week was beautifully curated: morning pilates and yoga to ease us into the day, a sauna ritual that became something almost sacred, surfing, cliff and sunset hikes that reminded me how extraordinary the natural world is when you slow down enough to notice it. Every experience felt intentional, chosen to bring a little more light to life, and it did exactly that. Chef Julia’s cooking was beautiful, nourishing, and made with unmistakable care. Five days in Sagres with Chaz isn’t just a retreat. It’s a week you carry with you, in the memories made, the people you meet, and the quiet shifts that happen when you give yourself permission to just be. I won’t forget it.

Chaz came so highly recommended that when I saw her retreat advertised, I thought, why not give it a whirl despite being a bit nervous of meeting new people, being too old, not quite bendy enough 😆 But it was an amazing experience and I came back from Sagres completely blown away. Restored physically and mentally. Chaz is warm, loving, and full of infectious energy. Her yoga, coaching, and meditations struck the perfect balance, and I left feeling grounded, energised, and genuinely inspired to take my intentions home and stick with them. She’s one of those people who just radiates warmth and love, and her energy and enthusiasm shine through into her yoga practice as well as her calm and professional coaching style. The food was amazing too!
