Portugal is an up-and-coming destination for wellness tourism. Its mild climate and spectacular landscapes make it a perfect place to explore nature, while its rich food and world-class facilities mean you can pamper yourself in style.
From lavish spa retreats along the coastline to secluded farm stays in the terracotta villages inland, Portugal offers a variety of ways for you to tailor your wellness experience depending on your priorities and energy level.
You’ll find a wide range of wellness options, including yoga retreats, meditation, mental health therapies, mindfulness workshops, sound healing, chanting, massages, forest walks, and deep relaxation sessions to help you feel rejuvenated and inspired. And, with healthy and nourishing meals prepared using fresh local ingredients, your body will be nurtured too.
Portugal is Europe’s most visited surfing destination, home to some of the best waves on the continent for beginners and experienced surfers alike. This is why most wellness retreats located near the beach also offer surfing lessons. Don’t worry if you’re new to the sport, they’ll adjust the classes based on your skill level.
There are many other interesting activities that’ll add relaxation, fun, and excitement to your wellness getaway, such as gentle walks on the coast, trips to local sights, hiking, swimming, sailing, cycling, horse riding, or simply lounging on the beach.
