NATURE ECO RETREAT 

Our retreat takes place at an off-grid eco haven affectionately called the Place of Presence – a sanctuary where Movement, Mindfulness, and Creativity naturally intertwine. Tucked away just two and a half hours east of Lisbon, near the Spanish border and the medieval towns of Marvão and Castelo de Vide, it rests within the lush landscapes of Serra de São Mamede National Park in Portugal. Here, a jungle-like valley unfolds around the River Sever, which meanders through the land.

The property extends from the apartments, sauna, saltwater slate pool, and panoramic deck at the top, all the way to the covered yoga shala, stone cottages, intimate dining space, natural atrium, and riverside nooks below. Along the way, you’ll find countless quiet corners to pause, meditate, or simply listen to the murmurs of nature. Wander the forest pathways, bathe in the green light of the trees, dance beneath the open sky, or cool off with a swim in the river.

Spread across eight hectares of untouched wilderness, this land feels like a soft, protective nest – offering peace, spaciousness, and the deep reconnection that only pure nature can bring. Every part of it radiates the love and intention of its caretakers, who have imbued it with a spirit of community, heart, and belonging. The result is a place that feels both enchanted and grounding – think Alice in Wonderland meets Buddha. It is energetically clear and sustainably designed, creating an ideal environment for inner work, reflection, and renewal.

ACCOMMODATION

We will be staying in charming European style studio apartments located at the top end of the valley, with garden and salt water pool access. The rooms comfortably sleep three, and are fully equipped with bedding, towels, en-suite bathrooms with shower, large living area, kitchen, air con and wi-fi. Each studio is thoughtfully designed, and has a private terrace looking out onto the valley. Cork insulation, double glass sliding doors and high ceilings ensure a comfortable climate year-round. 

For those who prefer private single accommodation, there is the rustic restored Mill House down by the valley. This two-bedroom stone-walled house is right on the river, with comfortable double beds, a spacious bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen and a water-facing terrace under a fig tree. The river proximity  means there is no need for air conditioning, you will be perfectly cool in the summer!

 Meals are lovingly crafted gourmet vegan buffets, prepared by our talented local chef. The menu centers on a predominantly organic, plant-based diet featuring fresh, vibrant fruits and vegetables, high-quality proteins and fats, nourishing salads, and hearty warm dishes – both nutritious and delicious.

Please note: As the retreat center is private property and operates as an Eco Retreat, there is no room or waiter service. This fosters a sense of community, where we come together like family for the duration of the retreat.
