Guia, Portugal, is a charming town in the Algarve region, best known as the birthplace of Portugal’s famous dish, frango piri-piri (spicy grilled chicken). Located just a short drive from Albufeira, it blends traditional Portuguese village life with the amenities of a popular tourist destination. Narrow cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, and local eateries give Guia an authentic charm, while nearby attractions include beautiful Algarve beaches, vineyards, and the popular Zoomarine theme park. With its warm, welcoming atmosphere and mix of culture, cuisine, and coastal proximity, Guia offers both a taste of tradition and easy access to the region’s leisure and natural highlights.

Testimonials

This was most phenomenal retreat we've attended. The accommodations were upscale, the food fabulously clean and delicious and the excursions were beyond expectation. Top all that with well thought out yoga sessions that take you within and meditation that calms the soul. Highly recommend for all levels.

Debbie Richardson, USA

This was such a beautiful well balanced experience. Sally is a wonderful teacher she was very relaxed non judgmental and was very happy to go at everyone’s pace. I never felt pressure to keep up. This retreat was filled with much more than yoga! Sally organized so many wonderful little outing for our entire group. I met so many new interesting people, I will be staying in touch with. The wine tastings and sailing add such a wonderful touch to such a beautiful adventure.
