The Experience

Arrive at Cocoon late afternoon on Saturday, ready to settle in and familiarise yourself with the surroundings.

Cocoon is a coastal farm and dedicated retreat centre situated in the Alentejo region of Portugal, with majestic scenery, stunning trails and untouched beaches nearby.

The coast is just a short drive away and ideal for swimming, surfing, and hiking along the beautiful sandstone bluffs.

All these beautiful photos are of the Cocoon grounds and surrounding areas. Take a look and picture yourself there!

The Practice

Dynamic and gentle yoga classes will be offered every day in one of Cocoon’s beautiful and fully equipped yoga shalas. We will be offering Rocket yoga with Sammi, Awakening yoga with Paul and embodied movement and yin with Alice. The classes will be designed for all levels of experience and you can join as many as you wish. We will be offering an inversion workshop for a chance to brush up on skills and you can also book a 1:1 yoga session for an additional cost during your stay.

The Location

Cocoon is the perfect escape, just two hours south of Lisbon and even closer to Faro.

Public transport is available from the airport however hiring a car (either solo or part of a group) is highly recommended so you can explore the beaches and villages!

Between classes, there will be plenty of time to explore the grounds, relax in a hammock, go wild swimming in the lake, hike along the bluffs, paddle board, surf, explore a beach or take a walk through one of the local villages. We will also be offering a personalised holistic massage with Alice as part of your retreat package.
