The experience

Seven days on Portugal's wild south-west coast for women who want to come home stronger, not just rested. We ride, we surf, we stretch and we eat beautifully, with every meal planned by our own nutritionist.

Your Algarve adventure

What you'll be doing

Rider on a white horse in the sea
3 horseback rides

Through the natural park, along the clifftops and one at sunset. Every level welcome.

Surfer riding a wave
3 surf lessons

We chase the best waves of the day on the west or south coast, boards and wetsuits included.

Sea caves on the Algarve coast
Sea cave day

Kayak into the Benagil caves and swim off hidden beaches.

Bonfire on the beach at dusk
Bonfire night

Plus a sunset picnic at Cape St. Vincent and a morning in Lagos old town.

And also: two yoga classes by the pool, breathwork with Paris, a nutrition seminar with Paris of Blu Nutrition, and ginger shots at breakfast.

More than a holiday

What makes Maresia different

A nutritionist with you all week

Paris of Blu Nutrition hosts the retreat, plans the menus, leads the breathwork and runs an evening seminar.

Your personalised nutrition plan

A nutrition analysis and a one-to-one call before you fly, and a plan book written for you to take home.

Healthy food, every meal

Fresh Portuguese produce, cooked at the villa from Paris's menu and built for active days.

Instagram photo + reel package

A photographer follows the week. You get edited photos and reels of yourself, ready to post.

A welcome gift bag

Waiting in your room when you arrive, with skincare, healthy snacks and something local.

Ten women, two hosts

A small, women-only group, with airport transfers and every drive handled for you.
