About this trip
Join Eliza and Jeannette for 6 days of adventure, wellness and relaxation in the Azores, Portugal!
The Azores are a magical, volcanic land, full of natural, raw beauty, a temperate climate and endless outdoor activities. Truly an adventure lovers paradise, and just under 5 hours from Boston and New York.
Our days will include always optional Pilates Mat and Stretch & Release classes with Eliza, as well as hikes to some of the most incredible vistas on the island, soaks in natural hot springs, and exploration of neighboring towns and beaches.
There will also be plenty of time for relaxation amongst the property of our oceanfront, 4-star eco-beach resort. All meals (with the exception of 2 lunches) are included, and will be nourishing, fresh, and delicious, so that you can get a true taste of Azorean fare.
A €500 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your spot on this retreat. The balance is due 120 days prior to departure. Payment plans are available at no additional cost. Please email Tina@solseedretreats.com to request one.
Please note that while the official start date of this trip is April 5th, you will need to take a red eye flight from BOS (Boston) to PDL (Azores) on the evening of April 4th. We will send you flight recommendations upon booking. If you choose to book flights other than these recommended ones, you will be responsible for paying for your own airport transfers, which will run you roughly 20 - 25 EURO each way.
