Azores Yoga Retreat 2026

The São Miguel Yoga Retreat is a private, all-inclusive 7-day wellness experience designed for groups of up to six people. It combines daily yoga sessions, guided meditations, mindful nature activities, island exploration, vegan meals prepared by a private chef, and accommodation in a luxury villa. The retreat offers a peaceful environment to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the natural beauty of São Miguel while deepening your personal wellness journey.

We understand that plans can change. Cancellations made 30 days or more before the retreat receive a full refund. Cancellations made within 30 days of the retreat are non-refundable, as the villa, chef, and experience providers are reserved exclusively for your group.

If needed, we can assist in rescheduling your retreat to new dates, subject to availability.

Our retreats run from April to November and follow a 7-day format. Your experience begins on the day of arrival with a private airport transfer and welcome ceremony, and ends on the seventh day with a smooth departure transfer back to the airport.

Each retreat is designed for private groups of up to 6 people, ensuring an intimate, personalized, and fully exclusive experience. This allows your group to enjoy private yoga sessions, tailored activities, and a luxury villa reserved just for you.

The retreat is fully all-inclusive and covers everything your group needs for a relaxing and transformative week. This includes:

• 7 days / 6 nights in a private luxury villa

• Daily yoga sessions (Hatha, Vinyasa, relaxation)

• Guided meditation & breathwork

• Two guided nature hikes with waterfall swims

• Daily vegan meals prepared by a private chef (breakfast, lunch, dinner)

• Wellness activities such as sound therapy and beach relaxation

• Full-day island tour with vegan lunch included

• Airport transfers on arrival and departure

• Daily housekeeping

• Private group organization & support throughout the stay

Everything is arranged exclusively for your group, ensuring a seamless and stress-free retreat experience.

Yes — all meals during the retreat are fully all-inclusive. Your private chef prepares daily vegan breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, using fresh, organic, and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. Snacks, teas, and fruit are also available throughout the day.

You won’t need to worry about cooking, planning, or shopping — every meal is taken care of so you can focus entirely on relaxation and wellbeing.

Yes, you’re welcome to bring personal snacks or drinks if you wish. The villa includes a fully equipped kitchen where you can store your items. However, since the retreat is fully catered with all-inclusive vegan meals, most guests find that everything they need is already provided by the private chef. If you have specific dietary restrictions or preferences, just let us know — we will happily accommodate them.

The retreat includes a balanced blend of Hatha, Vinyasa, and restorative yoga sessions. Mornings typically focus on energizing flows to awaken the body, while evenings offer gentle or calming practices to help you unwind. All classes are suitable for all levels, and your instructor will adapt each session to match the needs and experience of your group.

No — all essential yoga equipment is provided at the villa, including mats, blocks, straps, and blankets. If you prefer to use your own personal mat or props, you’re welcome to bring them, but nothing is required. Everything will be prepared for your group so you can practice comfortably from the moment you arrive.

Your group will stay in a private luxury villa selected specifically for retreat comfort. Each villa includes at least three twin rooms, a spacious garden, and full amenities ideal for yoga sessions and wellness activities. Some villas also feature a swimming pool (not guaranteed).

Depending on availability and your travel dates, the villa may be located in the south, central, or north of São Miguel. Within 48 hours of booking, we will present your group with a curated selection of suitable villas, and you can choose the one you prefer.

The retreat includes two full-day private tours, created to give your group a relaxed and immersive introduction to São Miguel’s most beautiful landscapes. Each tour is led by a local guide and takes you to volcanic craters, lakes, waterfalls, coastal viewpoints, and cultural highlights — all at a gentle pace that fits the retreat’s wellness focus.

Both tours are exclusive to your group, with plenty of time for photos, exploration, and connection with nature. A vegan lunch is included on each tour, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable day from start to finish.

The Azores are one of the best places in the world for whale and dolphin watching, with sightings on most tours throughout the year. While we cannot guarantee viewing specific species, your tour is guided by a marine biologist and a professional spotting team who work together to give you the best chance of seeing whales, dolphins, and other marine life in their natural environment.

Even on rare days without sightings, the experience offers beautiful ocean views and valuable insight into Azorean marine ecosystems.

Airport transfers are fully included in your retreat. A private driver will meet your group at Ponta Delgada Airport upon arrival and bring you directly to your villa. On the final day, you’ll have a private transfer back to the airport at the time that suits your flight schedule.

All transfers are arranged in advance, ensuring a smooth and stress-free start and end to your retreat.

Comfortable yoga clothes, swimwear, walking shoes, layers, and a reusable water bottle.
