Awakening the Chakras through Meditation, Mantras & Mandalas
Escape the end of winter with a transformative retreat designed to bring you energy and balance near the coast of southern Portugal.
Over six vibrant days, you will align and energise your chakras, refresh your yoga and meditation practice and reset your body, heart, and mind after a long winter.
The comfortable setting of the Baia Grande Hotel offers the perfect venue for this exploration.
Located a leisurely stroll from a secluded beach, our retreat provides ample winter sunshine and opportunities to connect with beautiful, like-minded yogis, enhancing your spiritual journey.

- Location: Hotel Baia Grande, Albufeira, Algarve, Portugal
The Retreat Venue
Situated in a quiet central location in the Algarve overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Hotel Baia Grande is a 15-minute walk from a stunning beach.
This family-run four-star hotel offers clean, spacious rooms with land, pool or sea views.
The hotel’s food is buffet-style with Mediterranean-style fresh salads and vegetables, with some vegetarian and vegan options at each meal.
We’ve been using this friendly and bustling hotel for over 3 years, as we love its convenient location, flexible room options and reasonable prices. If you have very specialist dietary needs, we suggest you explore retreats at our Dru Centre in Eryri – Snowdonia where we are used to catering for Ayurvedic and Vegetarian diets.
Prices are per day and include a generous buffet breakfast and dinner.
You can book your accommodation via Yoga Holidays once you’ve confirmed your booking.
