WILD VIEW

PORTUGAL

YOGA RETREAT

2ND - 9TH MAY 2026 - CLARE & STEPH

25TH SEPTEMBER - 3RD OCTOBER 2026 - CLARE & GRAINNE

Enjoy 7 nights in our secluded retreat nestled neatly into the Corgas Bravas hillside. Wild View Retreat is defined by its spectacular uninterrupted 360° views of the Serra do Caldeirão mountains, a Zona De Intervenção Florestal protected for its natural beauty and famous Portuguese cortiça (cork) trees.

There are no cars, no roads, no buildings, no neighbours. Nothing but wilderness and nature. Nothing to hear but the birds and the wind. Nothing to do but restore and relax the body, mind and soul.

We return to this exceptional venue year after year, drawn by its serenity, charm, and sense of complete escape. Each retreat brings together a different line-up of inspiring teachers, ensuring that every experience feels fresh, dynamic, and deeply personal. No two retreats are ever the same—but each is held within the same magical setting that makes Wild View so unforgettable.
