The Five Days

Walking, great food, meaningful conversation
and Portugal's wild Atlantic coast

Each day is built around carefully selected sections of the Fishermen's Trail, taking in some of the most spectacular scenery on Portugal's west coast. Expect dramatic cliff-top paths, quiet beaches, rolling hills and vast ocean views, balanced with time to relax, connect and enjoy exceptional local food.

From morning walks and long lunches to sunset dinners and unhurried evenings, the rhythm of the retreat is designed to leave you feeling energised, grounded and refreshed.
