Healing Retreat to Coastal Portugal

Olhao, Portugal - Date 05/27/2026

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Join senior yoga instructor YuMee Chung on a deeply nurturing yoga retreat to the Algarve, the stunning southern coastline of Portugal, a region blessed with beaches, picturesque fishing villages and 300 days of sunshine per year. This week will be set in a lovingly restored historic townhouse in the heart of Olhão's old town, a place unspoiled by mass tourism. Known for its earthy charm, cobbled streets, bohemian art scene, and warm hospitable people, this is a place to reconnect with a slower, seasonal way of life, and with a genuine community of creative, like-minded souls.
