Yoga Mini & Residential Retreats
The next Celtic Wheel retreat will be a residential 5 night retreat in Portugal’s Eastern Algarve
Midsummer Yoga Retreat, Thursday 19 – Tuesday 24 June 2025
Our residential retreat in June 2025 will be in Portugal to celebrate the powerful energies of the five Elements, during the magical time of Midsummer and the Summer Solstice.
Held on an organic farm surrounded by lush landscapes, this retreat offers nourishing, vegetarian meals made with locally sourced ingredients to nourish both body and mind. With access to a natural lake, a fully equipped, airy yoga hall, and the healing energies of the natural environment, you’ll find the perfect balance between relaxation and revitalization. The retreat’s tranquil and immersive atmosphere is ideal for honouring the longest day of the year, with ample opportunity for reflection, rejuvenation, and connecting with the elements.
Amidst the natural reserve of Ria Formosa, which stretches along the coast of the Eastern Algarve, Quintamar is situated in an olive and almond orchard less than 30 kilometers away from Faro International Airport. It is an ideal place for our yoga retreat, in unspoilt nature and close to white sandy beaches away from the madding crowd. A refreshing alternative for sea swimming is Quintamar’s 300 square meter biotope. Situated only 500 metres away from the sea.
Accomodation is in fully equipped guest houses and daily brunch and a 3 course evening meal are included in the fee for the retreat. There will be two daily yoga sessions in the morning and evening. During free time, bicycles are available for hire. The historic town of Tavira is nearby with its Moorish architecture and cobbled streets.
Quintamar has also been selected for the fourth year running to be featured in the Alistair Sawday’s site and is published in their highly acclaimed guide book.

Feedback about the retreats…
A huge thank you for the wonderful Spring Retreat. Every minute was filled with original activities and new practices and rituals – with a lot of ‘firsts’ for me – that will stay with me forever.
It came just at the right time for me providing a much needed realignment of my energies.
Once again, the Claridge House team welcomed us warmly and made us feel safe and comfortable, introducing us to some fresh and novel ingredients, lovingly created and presented providing our delicious meals. I think everyone appreciated the beautiful planting and constant maintenance that the large grounds require.
It was a glorious weekend spent in the company of beautiful, talented, intelligent and funny women.
