About the venue

Introducing Quinta Camarena. This stunning venue is immersed in nature, just 15 minutes from the coast and near the picturesque village of Cercal.

I felt drawn to this venue because sustainability is at the core of everything they do. They only work with local farmers and much of the delicious food we’ll eat is grown at the quinta.

Location

Alentejo is situated approx 2 hours by car from Lisbon airport. I will be sending out a recommended flight to all retreaters and arranging transfers if you take this option.

Testimonials

  • I recently returned from a yoga retreat in Portugal, and it was an unforgettable experience. Jess is an amazing teacher – patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. The yoga sessions were the best I’ve ever attended! The entire retreat was seamlessly planned, and I came home feeling relaxed and refreshed. Honesty it’s a must, highly recommend

  • I went on my first yoga retreat and I had a wonderful experience thanks to Jessy, who is a beautiful soul, and thanks to all the amazing and inspiring women attending the retreat. The location surrounded by nature was dreamy and the food so delicious. It was the perfect conditions to relax and recharge batteries. I highly recommend!

    Stephanie

  • Jess is an amazing yoga teacher and her classes were energetic and invigorating yet she also combined fabulous teaching to encourage correct positions - with special inversion workshops. Highlights were the class yoga space, outdoor sauna, Jess’s, beautiful playlists, the 9 km guided coastal walk and hiking after yoga in the unspoiled Portuguese countryside awash with spring flowers. A great way to spend 5 days

Hi, I’m your host Jess.

My passion is creating nurturing, restorative retreats to help individuals reconnect with their essence and find headspace. I’m so excited to bring you with me on this journey to Portugal.

One last note

If you're craving a chance to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of spring and in need of some well-deserved post-winter awakening, I invite you to join me.

With a schedule of yoga, meditation, hikes, wine tasting and beach trips you won't be short of things to do, but as always everything is optional. If you want to just laze in a hammock all day with your book that's ok too. This is your time to relax and reset.

My teaching encourages an approach that works from the inside out. It invites deep exploration of the worlds within, reigniting a curiosity and wonder that often gets lost in the whirlwind of modern life.

We’ll move, sweat, breathe and release all the pleasure, peace and power this wonderful practice has to offer.
