Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the Algarve region of Portugal at our FLOW & SERENITY water themed women's wellness retreat.

Your retreat offers a harmonious blend of mindful movement practices, meditation, sound bath healing and adventure!

Join Stephanie (Beausoleil Yoga) and guest sound healer, Steph Radkay, on an unforgettable journey on an all-inclusive retreat to the Algarve, Portugal’s premier coastal paradise. This idyllic region combines the best of both worlds: serene relaxation and exhilarating adventure, all set against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean's coastline. 

Renowned for its dramatic cliffs that plunge into the sea, pristine golden beaches, and a climate that has over 300 days of sunshine per year, the Algarve is a spiritual haven for anyone seeking a blissful escape from the daily grind. 

Let the fluidity of water inspire your spiritual practices and daily routines as you restore balance, flow and ease to your body and soul.  When we are out of flow, we can become anxious, disconnected and externally focused. When we are in flow, we are calm, present and internally focused. 

Flow state, much like water, is fluid, adaptable and naturally peaceful. 

Stephanie O’Hara, EYT-500, M. Ed., Reiki level 2,  is the founder and owner of Beausoleil Yoga, and an experienced international retreat leader. 

Beausoleil Yoga, established in 2016,  is a boutique yoga space specializing in private & small group therapeutic instruction and healing. She uses movement, yoga, breath, reiki, touch, somatics & meditation to curate custom sessions based on client needs for healing. Her 10 year career as a high school educator drove her interest to teach less in the classroom and more in the mind/body through movement practices. Her most recent international retreats have taken her to France, Bali and Italy. Her trauma informed training and interest in healing the nervous system from chronic stress led to her acceptance into the Somatic Experiencing International training program in 2024. At the end of this 3 year program she will be a licensed Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). Her group yoga classes are a playful blend of breath , grace, and discipline, and her rich and diverse training and teaching style range from creative vinyasa flow to somatic yoga to yin, gentle & restorative. Stephanie has specialized training in mantra, vipassana and mindfullness meditation and trauma informed, vinyasa, yin and restorative yoga, and reiki.  Her clients and students continue to be her greatest source of inspiration. 

Steph Radkay , certified POUND Pro, Certified Sound Healer (crystal singing bowls & harp, Solfeggio tuning forks), Reiki Level 2. Steph is the founder and owner of Trebled Souls where music+sound come together for a happier+healthier you. 

After several highly intense corporate careers, owning two companies, sustaining injuries, Steph has experienced first-hand the significant impact that stress, the loss of a parent, and overworked muscles have on the body. She understands the effort, tools and space required to help bring the body's nervous system back into balance.  Steph’s top two values in life are fun and health. She thrives on teaching individuals and groups of all ages how to do both, inspiring them to live their best, healthiest lives and truly understand the natural ebb and flow from freeze/fight/flight to inner peace/inner calm. Her unique teaching approach involves taking clients from POUND drumstick fitness to a meditative, relaxed state thus reducing stress, anxiety, pain and more. 

An enthusiast of trail running, music and sound, Steph finds fun in creating rhythmic  melodies with her drumsticks and relaxing, meditative sounds with her crystal singing  bowls and other instruments. Alongside her husband of 30 years, she cherishes  moments of laughter and connection, infusing her work and values with all individuals,  groups and corporations. Steph earned her BA in Mathematics from Indiana University. 

Large villa in Carvoeiro with separate apartments - heated private pool, Jacuzzi and sauna.

When you arrive at the villa you will immediately feel the relaxed atmosphere that this retreat villa offers where you can truly unwind and restore.  From a number of apartments you can enjoy the sea view. The central hub is by the pool where you can lounge in the sun or shade, enjoy the jacuzzi  and luxuriate in your time. The space is equipped with a large dining table (where we will gather for most of our meals!) , a large barbecue, a kitchen (glad you won't have to cook :-),  2 refrigerators, a bar and an outdoor shower. On the terrace you will find wonderful sofas with cushions and umbrellas so you can just chill - imagine that!

Eleven spacious 1 and 2 bedroom apartments (between 110-150 quare meters) are built around the pool and bar/lounge area, creating a very communal environment.  Each of the apartments is equipped with air conditioning, large living rooms, fully equipped kitchen and a private terrace.

The bright and spacious yoga shala with its cozy atmosphere is a perfect space for our daily practices. The wave-shaped roof, partly transparent,  reminds me of the water element,  so you can see the endless sky while looking up during your practice as you move into your flow state. The warm wooden floor adds a cozy, grounded feeling. Integrating the shala in the mediterranean nature, two transparent sides open to the garden. The pavillion is 8x15m and is equipped with yoga mats, bolsters and straps. 

Delight in wholesome and locally sourced organic meals that fuel your body by the private in-house local chef. The food is truly made with love. Dietary restrictions preferences can be accommodated with advanced notice. 

The private chef will be curating locally inspired farm-to-table meals daily for the group. The focus will be on culinary traditions and regional specialities. Yum! All meals are included apart from 1 evening meal where we will dine at a local restaurant. 

Take in the splendid views while eating at one of several outdoor spaces.  The patio adjacent to the pool is great for lunch or drinks and dinner while watching the sunset.
