What to Leave Behind
Lighten your luggage and your mind. We've taken care of the details so you don't have to.
Pool Towels
Save the space in your bag; we have plenty of plush towels for the pool and beach.
High Heels
This is the countryside; you’ll bury those heels in the ground! It's dusty, muddy, and perfect for flats.
Yoga Mats
We provide high-quality mats and props for all our sessions in the shala.
Toiletries
Soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion are all provided. We select natural, organic brands.
Hairdryer
Every room is equipped with a professional hairdryer for your convenience.
Surf Gear
Wet suits and boards are included in our surfing classes. No need to lug heavy gear.

Packing Guide
SLOW LIVING ESSENTIALS
"Packing for a retreat should feel like the start of the journey itself—a mindful selection of things that will help you disconnect to reconnect. At Quinta Camarena, we believe in essentials that breathe, move, and let
you simply be."
"The most important thing you can bring is your curiosity and a willingness to slow down to the pace of the Alentejo sun."
What to Bring
Good Vibes
Bring an open mind, a relaxed attitude, and the kind of energy that makes strangers feel like friends by dinner.
A cardigan or scarf
Our Alentejo evenings can get surprisingly chilly, even after a warm day. Bring something soft to wrap around you as we watch the stars.
Sneakers & Hiking shoes
The landscape here is rugged and beautiful. You'll want comfortable, sturdy shoes to explore the trails and hidden corners of the estate.
Swimsuit & Hat
For the pool or the nearby coast. A wide-brimmed hat is your best friend under the Portuguese sun.
Yoga clothes
Include a light sweater and long leggings. Our morning sessions in the garden start fresh and crisp.
Re-usable water bottle
We don't sell single-use plastic bottles. We have pure, fresh water available throughout the Quinta.
Cash (EUR)
While we accept cards at the Quinta, local town shops and tipping for our wonderful staff are often cash-only activities.
Sunscreen & Insect Repeller
Nature is vibrant here. Protect your skin from the midday sun and the occasional evening bug (especially in Summer).
