Our Portugal Malakai Wellness retreat invites you to explore and experience wellbeing practices inspired by the Five Elements - Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether, designed to realign and rejuvenate body, mind, and soul. An opportunity to release and recharge, reconnecting with your true essence.
We have mindfully curated this retreat with a diverse wellness & healing programme of yoga, breathwork, guided meditations, massage, sound baths and nature walks. Each day, you will also be nourished with fresh vegetarian meals prepared with local organic produce. You will be staying at Casa de Cura, an intimate off-grid sanctuary surrounded by olive groves, fruit trees, and mountain views. The retreat offers a light-filled yoga shala, meditation deck, natural swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and dining terrace, and peaceful gardens for rest and reflection. Accommodation is simple yet comfortable, with rustic private or shared rooms designed with natural materials and a grounding connection to the land.
This retreat is for those seeking deep rest, self-discovery, and reconnection with nature. Ideal for anyone feeling called to slow down, release old patterns, and return to their natural state of balance and inspiration.
We are excited to bring you this unique experience and to guide you back to harmony and vitality through the wisdom of the five elements.
