About this trip

Find inspiration with us as we relax and roam our way through Lagos, Portugal!

Heather and I feel so lucky to be hosting our first retreat at Quinta Bonita, a charming family-owned villa in the hills of the Algarve. We'll spend 5 days practicing deeply and fully while leaving plenty of time for exploring all that this magical location has to offer. Pro tip: add on a few days before or after your retreat to travel & explore on your own.

About the Location

Quinta Bonita is minutes away from all that the Algarve has to offer, from stunning beaches to the romance of Lagos' old town, and with over 3000 hours of sun a year the Algarve has the perfect climate in which to relax and discover. The owners and team happily share their local experiences and tips and will book activities for you. Here is just a teaser of what the area has to offer.


LAGOS

With its castle walls, narrow, cobbled streets, pottery shops and numerous pavement cafes from which to watch the world go by, Lagos has a relaxed atmosphere and quiet charm, making it one of the most appealing locations in the Algarve. While away some time browsing the boutiques, enjoy the colourful Saturday fruit & vegetable market or take a walk along the long sandy beach of Meia Praia which stretches all the way to Alvor and conveniently has several small beach bars along the way to quench your thirst!


BEACHES

One of our favourite walks is along the cliffs from Luz to Burgau where you arrive into a quaint white washed fishing village with an excellent restaurant on the beach to refuel.

Praia Da Luz is only five minutes from Quinta Bonita and has a long curve of sand in a very protected bay - perfect for swimming. Quinta Bonita is just moments away from some of the best beaches on the Algarve Coast. Whether you're looking for a bracing ocean swim, a surf or a place to sun yourself on perfect white sand, we can recommend a beach for you.


CAPE ST VINCENT & BEYOND

If this is your first visit, be sure to drive to Sagres and Cape St Vincent, the most south-westerly tip of Europe and then the unspoilt Western Costa Vicentina with its blow holes, crashing waves and vast beaches.

MONCHIQUE

Monchique is a placid mountain town with its own timeless identity and from Foia the highest point in the Algarve you have panoramic 360degree views. The village of Caldas de Monchique is renowned for its spa waters.

SILVES

Silves with its medieval castle, was once the Moorish capital of the Algarve. A market town at the heart of the citrus growing area, it remains proud of its Moorish heritage.


Getting There

Faro Airport


Most flights to Lagos arrive at Faro Airport, about 75km away from the town of Lagos. The team at Quinta Bonita will be helping us to arrange for airport transfers for your arrival and departure so please send along your itinerary when you have it.
