4elements retreat - Yoga Retreat Portugal Opiniões 34

This was my first Yoga Retreat and it was the best experience! I really learned a lot in terms of different Yoga styles and Meditation.
The accomodation was fantastic and very clean. I loved having a single room with an own bathroom. The surrounding is beautiful - huge garden with fruits and vegetables behind the house and cute little places to sit outside around the house. The beach is a 10 minute walk away.
The meals were excellent! Really high quality and variety during the whole week. Water, coffee, tea are provided the whole day.
The trips (guided walks, Nazaré, wine tasting) were wonderful and very well planned.
I enjoyed every minute of the Retreat and will definitely come back!

This was my first yoga retreat and I think I got very lucky by choosing 4elements. it was a beautiful scenic location and the retreat itself is in a charming home converted to a bed and breakfast. It is small enough to get to know everyone well and our hosts, Pedro and Ali were amazing and welcoming, regardless of our level of experience with yoga and meditation. They were very knowledgable and we learned a variety of techniques. Meals were freshly prepared (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and were very healthy and vegetarian. I would love to come back again!

Well organized retreat, attention to detail when it comes to yoga and meditation sessions but also atmosphere during the day, well thought and delicious meals. Overall, a beautiful family willing and being there to support their guests in having a positive and challenging experience.

My second year here for the retreat which again didn't dissapoint.Everything well organised, amazing food again and company at meal times. Comfortable own room and beaches close by. Lovely to experience an ariel yoga session here, visit a wineary, hikes and a medeival village. Lovely small group and a family who makes you feel so relaxed and welcome. Thank you to all again :)

Everything was amazing! Specially, I enjoyed the wonderful beach (close to the accommodation), wine testing and the trip to a small medieval village with an old castle. Thanks for the nice time spent together 😊

I would highly recommend 4elements for a retreat.
Ali and Pedro have such a warm welcome, you will feel at home so easily.
All the classes, activities, meals are so well organised,
The food is all so healthy and tasty. Alot of the produce comes from their lovely garden which I must say I enjoyed exploring and going for mindful walks.
The accommodation is lovely and is walking distance to different beaches. Every morning after yoga we went for a quick dip in the ocean which was fun and refreshing.
The yoga and meditation classes were of great variety. I learned a lot that I would like to keep doing.
All activities were great fun too.
Ali and Pedro went the extra mile to meet our needs.
I definitely would consider going back again.
I feel like I had such a good break and retreat that I would recommend it to my like minded friends.

I totally recommend this retreat to anyone. I had an amazing time. The yoga was great and learnt new things along the way. I also really enjoyed the meditations in the evenings and actually found a new way that really worked for me to keep focussed which I was so surprised. I've since done it at home and is very beneficial.

I enjoyed the walks and the days out to Óbidos and Nazaré. The picnic was very special. The food throughout the week was top notch! There was always plenty to go around.

I would definitely return and recommend to anyone.

Thank you Ali and Pedro x

The best yoga lessons I have ever had, partly cause of the small class, max 6, but most of all cause of the intention with which Pedro challenges you to get it right.
Ali makes you feel very much at home and Mateo brightens up every day !
I had 2 Tui Na massages by Christiana and the were fantastic.

I cannot recommend this retreat highly enough! The yoga classes are fantastic, the food is amazing, and it is such a relaxing week. Ali and Pedro have created something really special and I’m already looking forward to returning next year!

The retreat offers & full yoga holistic programe , not just a focus on asanas / vinyasa. The hosts & staff are warm & friendly yet keep a profesional distance and the accommodation and environment very homely . I loved being near the ocean with the option of a post yoga dip in the morning! Food is tasty & super healthy .Also I slept the best I have in years!

A fantastic week, in a welcoming, family environment. Comfortable rooms, fantastic food, trips out, plus good (but challenging) yoga sessions and relaxing meditation. Can't recommend highly enough!

Restorative, restful and rejuvenating! I so enjoyed my week long yoga holiday at 4Elements Retreat. Pedro and Ali have developed a really well balanced week with great yoga and meditation. The fabulous vegetarian and vegan meals were leisurely with good conversation with Ali, Pedro, (& Matteo!) and the other yogis. The retreat is beautiful and located on the edge of a village, close to the ocean. Throughout the week, there were options for daily dives in the ocean, guided walks, massage, and visits further afield. There was plenty of structure to each day, but time also to relax, read a book or head to the ocean.

After 2 past years professionally and personally stressful, I needed some time to rest, reflect, rejuvenate and step back. I wanted to go out of my confort zone, and make a first retreat alone to learn more about Yoga and meditation.
I loved the family atmosphere a lot, Ali and Pedro and their son (and also their respectives families) are such wonderful persons and so welcoming. I was seduced by the small amount of participants, that allowed us to have great conversations and nice encounters. The food was amazing, always made with vegetables coming directly from their wonderful garden.
The program was amazing, great Yoga sessions, dive in the ocean, walks, meditation and some sightseeings. I was able to enjoy time alone but also all the meal time spending together talking about everything was lovely and inspiring.
Also the room was so lovely, nice decoration, and with small attentions and this view!
The week went unfortunately too fast, I really enjoyed my time at Ali & Pedro's place, I felt totally relaxed, aligned and rested.
I will for sure come back and I can only recommend it to anyone who want to find a warm place with caring persons.
Thanks again very much dear Ali and Pedro for the wonderful week and for your kindness! Hope our path will cross again :)

I have been to Four Elements Retreat for the fourth time in april this year. The first time I went on my own and the last 3 times with a good friend with whom I shared one of the 5 luxurious rooms. I cannot mention anything that I did not like! Yoga twice a day, wonderful food three times a day, all made from vegetables and fruit from their own garden, a daily dive into the ocean, walks with beautiful views accompanied by Ali or Pedro. They are wonderful couple, the guests are always from from all over the world and you really feel welcome at their nice and warm house at just a 5 minutes walk away from the ocean.I'll be back. :-)
