COMPORTA yoga retreat

Melides, portugal

23th - 29th May 2025

Set in the stunning landscape of Melides, Comporta, this yoga retreat invites you to go deep into your yoga practice and slow down from the fast pace of life.

With two yoga practices a day, acres to roam, the beach a 10 minute journey away, the pool just outside your bedroom door and food picked fresh from the organic kitchen garden - the intention is to create a peaceful sanctuary for you to decompress and to take care of your health, as well as to connect more deeply to your yoga journey.

There will be ample time to rest, as well as plenty of opportunities for activities if you fancy them. There will be one evening of live music, and a sound journey experience. Yin/restorative yoga or Nidra with Louise is on offer before or after dinner on free evenings.

Louise will be hosting and teaching yoga, workshops and mediation, while villa manager and professional chef Dom will be cooking for us. Dom and I both have a passion for health, nourishment and nurturing of mind, body and planet. Our retreat will be in line with these values.

The Team

The Food

We are so passionate about giving you nothing but gloriously delicious and nutritiously glowing food. Each meal is created using only natures purest foods.

We believe organic is the way to create a strong immune system, so all our ingredients are certified organic.

Dom will be cooking all of our meals - from breakfast through to dinner with snacks in between. Here’s a bit about his philosophy and why I was so motivated to get him booked in for our retreat!

‘In ancient Sanskrit, the word Mita means moderate & Ahara means intake. So, this idea of moderational consumption mixed with the exquisite pleasure of fulfilment that can be achieved from gastronomy is what we envision. MITAHARA gastronomia will allow you to achieve full sensory satisfaction from every bite, whilst simultaneously taking care of your body.’

Any dietary requirements can be accommodated.
