I booked the fitness retreat and had a lot of fun exercising. The daily training gets tailored to the needs of everyone. On top of that there's a variety of things to do in the area like surfing, hiking, running, enjoying this beautiful piece of nature.

Had a fabulous time at the "Not So Serious Fitness Retreat!" Don't let the name fool you the fitness classes were serious….but only if you wanted it to be!!

Did the 6-night fitness retreat and loved it! Overall a great balance of activities and relaxing time. The food was absolutely delicious and all the staff so nice to chat to and very helpful. I'd highly recommend this place for a great break from a busy everyday life.

The activities were perfectly organized but super-flexible at the same time. The program combined good time for sport (in-& outdoor fitness, yoga, hiking and more) with getting to know the idilic Alentejo region through its coastal routes, natural wines, gastronomy, landscape and handcrafted ceramics.

Move your body in ways that build lasting strength, completely free of competition.

ABOUT THIS RETREAT
This is not a boot camp. There are no 5am wake up calls, no protein shakes standing in for meals, and absolutely no one keeping score. The NotSoSerious Fitness Retreat is about moving your body in ways that feel good and actually stick. You will experience daily guided sessions covering strength, conditioning, and outdoor training, all designed by instructors who adapt to you, not the other way around.
Then you can enjoy a long brunch made from scratch with ingredients from the garden, followed by free time to swim, hike, nap, or stare at the view. Whether you are getting back into exercise after a long break, managing an injury, or just want a week that leaves you genuinely stronger and not exhausted, this was made for you. All levels, all ages, and all body types are welcome, and there is no competitive spirit, ever.
WHAT MAKES THIS RETREAT
How We Build Your Strength
Guided Functional Training
Enjoy structured workouts and mobility sessions held both in our 24hr gym fitness facility and outdoors across the property, focusing on body skill performance with no competitive pressure.
Progressive Weekly Building
Instructors build the physical intensity of the week progressively so you notice real results by day five while ensuring your body leaves feeling strong rather than exhausted.
All Body Modification
Every single movement and routine is completely adapted to your specific needs, whether you are getting back into exercise after a break, managing an injury, or trying a new routine.

RECOVERY & REST
The Woodland Forest Sauna
Where physical effort gives way to deep relaxation. Nestled among the trees, our outdoor sauna provides the perfect space to soothe tired muscles, clear your mind, and recharge after a rewarding day of movement.
