It’s all about the little pleasures - picking a lemon straight from the tree, having breakfast in a hammock, walking barefoot on sun-warmed earth. And about finding balance, which tends to slip away in the daily marathon of to-dos. The hosts have thought of everything to help you finally stop breathing like a hamster on a treadmill. Cozy cabins surrounded by greenery, a farm full of fluffy love (chickens, horses, dogs), and workshops on yoga and breathing techniques. And honestly, where better to reset than on a hill, under the pines, with a view so good you won’t need anything else?

Once your mind is calm and your body warmed up in the wood-fired sauna, it’s time for the ultimate test - an ice bath. And if you want to take balance literally, try surfing. Aljezur has some solid beaches, and catching waves is more addictive than you’d expect. For the night, choose between two comfortable cabins with a terrace, hammock, kitchen, and bathroom. There’s also something for the camping enthusiasts. A safari tent with a composting toilet and an outdoor shower.
