Cocoon Portugal is a 275-acre coastal farm + retreat, offering inspiration + community for the modern traveler. It's also pure magic, where between the oversized hammocks and the coastal bluffs, you'll start to lose track of time. The kind of place where each morning is a celebration, practicing under the canopy of old-growth pines, but so is each evening, with world-class wine and fascinating dinner conversation. We're situated on the breathtaking Atlantic coast of Portugal, near the charming fishing village of Zambujeira do Mar, in the Alentejo region, which is known for its long stretches of untouched coastline and charming white-washed villages. From Lisbon, we’re about two hours drive south, entirely dependent on how many espressos you’ve had. (from Faro, we’re slightly closer) The ocean, with bluffs, trails, and sandy coves, is a 15-minute drive away. Our 11-bedroom, 10-bathroom property can host up to 25 guests.

Guests will stay in Cocoon's thoughtfully designed guest rooms, each offering a simple, elegant retreat that reflects the relaxed beauty of Portugal's Alentejo coast. Every room opens onto a peaceful outdoor courtyard, creating an effortless connection between indoor comfort and the surrounding landscape. The accommodations are intentionally understated—clean, airy, and designed to support deep rest rather than distraction. With natural light, calming interiors, and easy access to the property's gardens, hammocks, and gathering spaces, the rooms offer a quiet sanctuary to unwind between practices, meals, and time exploring the coast.

Meals at Cocoon are lovingly prepared using fresh, organic ingredients harvested from the property's gardens and sourced from nearby farms and local producers. Every dish reflects the seasons and the rich culinary traditions of Portugal's Alentejo region, creating an experience that is as nourishing as it is delicious. Sharing these vibrant, farm-to-table meals becomes an integral part of the retreat as an opportunity to slow down, savor, and gather in community.

Schedule

This retreat is designed to balance intentional practice with spaciousness and rest. Each morning begins with yoga to awaken the body and mind, while the hours that follow invite you to relax by the pond, wander the nearby beaches, explore the surrounding countryside, or simply embrace the slower pace of retreat life. In the late afternoon, we'll gather for nourishing practices including slow flow, restorative yoga, yin, meditation, and immersive sound healing before sharing delicious farm-to-table dinners together. A special extended sound bath on Monday evening offers an opportunity to sink even more deeply into stillness and integration. Throughout the week, we'll also enjoy shared experiences including a beach picnic, an optional cooking class, and a closing celebration to honor our time together.

Testimonials

info

It was amazing and magical! I thought that it was just yoga, but it was transformative. My friends are commenting on how I have this glow, seem uplifted, and "floating on air". Lauren and Emma brought together a community that was inclusive, warm and loving. They introduced themes and suggestions that were thought and heart evoking. The farm to table food was seriously amazing & delicious and I felt "full "for the first time. Unbeknownst to me, I've started a journey of healing which began with their suggestions to nurture my inner light. I am so thankful to Lauren and her beautiful soul for making this life changing experience possible for me.

Traveling to Portugal with Lauren and Emma was the best decision I have ever made. Cocoon is a true paradise where the only thing more nourishing than the organic, farm to table meals was the yoga, meditation, and sound healing. Quiet mornings... Afternoons at the lake, or surfing in the ocean, hiking through canyons to boulder strewn swimming holes or along coastal trails to private beaches.. Three words: Beauty, Laughter, and Gratitude.
