🌿 PORTUGAL LUXURY BIKRAM & INFERNO IMMERSION – JULY 2026
 July 1st-6th 2026
We are thrilled to be hosting our first overseas residential Yoga & Pilates retreat in Portugal.
Join us for a transformative 5-night Bikram Yoga and Inferno Hot Pilates immersion in beautiful Portugal. Set within a stunning private villa surrounded by nature, this truly luxurious retreat offers the perfect balance of dedicated practice, restoration and deep relaxation. The newly built Yoga Shala has been designed specifically for heated practice, and we will also enjoy some classes outdoors to make the most of the tranquil setting and warm Portuguese sunshine.
This venue has hosted many Bikram retreats and is truly exceptional – combining a purpose-built shala with truly outstanding spa facilities and the uniquely warm, loving atmosphere created by our hosts. After exploring many locations, we can confidently say this is the most beautiful setting we have found. It will feel like a luxury home away from home where you can disconnect, recharge and be completely looked after.
Please note: This retreat is a Bikram Yoga and inferno Hot Pilates immersion. As both Heidi and Liz are trained in both disciplines this retreat will offer the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of these two very different class styles and understand why they make a perfect marriage.  All classes and activities are optional – you are free to do as much, or as little, as feels right for you.
ACCOMMODATION
The villas offer stylish and comfortable accommodation in shared or private rooms (maximum two guests per room). Every space has been thoughtfully designed to provide rest and tranquillity, with high-quality bedding, natural light and peaceful views of the surrounding countryside.
You will enjoy the feeling of staying in a private luxury home rather than a commercial resort – perfect for enjoying the essence of community while still having space to relax and reflect. Daily housekeeping and laundry services are included so you can focus entirely on your wellbeing.
FACILITIES

FOOD TO HELP YOU THRIVE
Throughout the retreat, you’ll be treated to wholesome, flavorful organic meals created by our private chef. The menu is rich in protein and features fresh, locally caught fish and organic chicken, along with a variety of colorful vegetarian and vegan dishes. Everything is prepared from scratch, free from refined sugar, and served with revitalizing drinks.
By steering clear of processed, heavy foods and added sugars, you’ll feel the positive effects of nourishing, clean cuisine—more energy, greater lightness, and mental clarity. This approach to eating supports healthy digestion, eases inflammation, and encourages your body to return to its natural equilibrium.
Each day includes two satisfying meals—a hearty brunch and a balanced evening dinner—along with a gentle afternoon bite. All produce is seasonal, organic, and sourced from the local area, giving your body the nutrients it needs to feel vibrant, strong, and refreshed during your stay.
