The Manoir

Serene and Timeless: A restorative yoga retreat in the eastern Algarve

Retreat and restore in the serene splendour of The Manoir

Set in Portugal’s tranquil Eastern Algarve between the market towns of São Brás and Loulé, The Manoir offers a peaceful escape with sweeping views toward the coast. This lesser-known region—far from the bustle of the central Algarve—is known for its whitewashed villages, citrus groves, and gently rolling hills. It’s an ideal setting for rest, movement, and meaningful connection.

Dating back to the early 1900s, The Manoir has been thoughtfully restored into a soulful, slow-living retreat. Elegant interiors are filled with carefully chosen artwork, and the gardens are rich with seasonal blooms. A large private pool, shaded reading spots, and a pair of curious miniature goats add to the charm of this quiet sanctuary.

A closer look at The Manoir

Daily yoga and meditation take place in the purpose-built shala, surrounded by olive, almond, and carob trees. The retreat includes energising morning movement, restorative evening practices, guided nature walks, and group experiences like sound healing, cacao ceremony, and optional dance sessions.

You’ll also have plenty of time to swim, journal, nap in a hammock, or join an afternoon beach visit or boat trip to the Ria Formosa lagoon.

With space for just 6 to 12 participants, The Manoir offers a deeply personal retreat experience where everyone is welcomed—regardless of age or level. Meals are lovingly prepared by our home chef, using fresh, seasonal ingredients that celebrate the flavours of Southern Portugal.

Rooted in nature and simplicity, The Manoir is one of the most restorative yoga retreats in Portugal—where slow living, soulful practice, and serene surroundings come beautifully together.

“We hiked together through fields blooming with wildflowers, to white-washed villages and a local restaurant where we were treated like family. We picnicked in olive groves, to the sounds of a flamenco guitarist, after taking Simone’s rescued donkeys for a walk.” Reviewed by Suzanne Duckett

“Iberian Wellness Retreats offer this stunning restored villa for more than just yoga, but it did feel like a perfect space to do this retreat. We had everything we needed there, and stunning nature all around us.” Reviewed by Lis-Marie Linden
