LOTUS RETREATS EXPERIENCE – PORTUGAL JULY 2026

Moodz is a place you’ll never want to leave

When I first arrived at Moodz I knew I’d found somewhere very special.

The dedicated hot yoga studio is unlike anything I’ve experienced on retreat before. Bright, spacious and overlooking the Portuguese hills, it gives us the opportunity to enjoy genuine Bikram Yoga and Inferno Hot Pilates practice in a purpose-built heated space.

Outside, our beautiful yoga deck becomes the perfect place to gather for posture clinics, breathwork, workshops and ceremonies, surrounded by birdsong and breathtaking mountain views.

Between classes there is no rush.

Spend time beside the pool.

Read a book beneath the cabanas.

Relax in the meditation lounge with its floor-to-ceiling windows.

Enjoy the Finnish sauna, infrared sauna, hammam or plunge pool.

Or simply find your own quiet corner and do absolutely nothing.

Because sometimes that’s exactly what we need.

Accommodation

At Moodz, you’ll have a choice of two beautiful styles of accommodation, each offering its own unique charm. Whichever you choose, you’ll enjoy the same high standard of comfort, thoughtful touches and peaceful surroundings that make this retreat so special.

The Villa

The main villa is the heart of our retreat, where we’ll come together each day to enjoy delicious brunches and evening meals lovingly prepared by our wonderful chef, Ana. It’s also a lovely place to relax with a coffee, chat with fellow guests or simply soak up the atmosphere.

The villa is fully air-conditioned and offers four spacious king-size bedrooms:

One downstairs bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.
Two upstairs king-size bedrooms sharing a generous bathroom.
One additional downstairs king-size bedroom with access to a private bathroom. (The shower for this bathroom is located just outside the villa within the beautiful hammam.)

Warm, welcoming and beautifully finished, the villa provides a wonderful home-from-home experience.

The Luxury Lodges

This is where I stayed during my own retreat, and I absolutely loved them.

From the outside they resemble luxury safari lodges, but step inside and you’ll find beautifully designed, fully air-conditioned accommodation that feels more like a boutique hotel suite than a tent.

Each lodge offers spacious king-size bedrooms, stylish bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and dining area, together with its own private outdoor deck—the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee, read a book or simply sit quietly listening to the birds.

If you’re looking for a little extra privacy whilst still being just moments from all the retreat activities, the lodges are a wonderful choice.

FOOD TO HELP YOU THRIVE

One of the biggest highlights of the retreat is undoubtedly the food.

I’m absolutely delighted that our wonderful chef, Ana, and her sous chef will be joining us again in 2027, preparing every meal from scratch throughout our stay.

Each day begins with a delicious late-morning brunch after practice, followed by a beautifully prepared evening dinner. In between, we’ll enjoy homemade sweet treats, freshly pressed juices and healthy snacks, alongside unlimited tea, coffee and chilled water, replenished throughout the day.

Every meal is thoughtfully prepared using fresh, seasonal ingredients that nourish your body without ever feeling restrictive. The food is colourful, generous, full of flavour and somehow manages to feel wonderfully indulgent while being incredibly good for you. All dietary requirements can, of course, be catered for.

One of the unexpected joys of the retreat was coming together around the table. Meals became a time to slow down, share stories, laugh together and enjoy each other’s company. Some of my favourite memories were made over brunch and dinner.

By the end of the week, we were all saying exactly the same thing…

We wanted to take Ana home with us!

She is an exceptionally talented chef, and I’m thrilled that she’ll once again be looking after us next summer.
