Details
On the southwestern coast of Portugal, just outside the seaside town of Vila Nova de Milfontes, this heartfelt offering sits on the serene grounds of Cocoon. An intimate yoga and wellness retreat, it is an invitation to slow down and immerse yourself in the rhythm of the land. Guided by Dolly Reno and Kevin Robertson, the experience nourishes body and spirit through mindful movement, meaningful connection, and deep rest. Days unfold around a boutique farm kept with care, surrounded by rolling countryside, tended gardens, and open skies. Meals are fresh and farm to table, drawn from the gardens and prepared from seasonal local ingredients. Daily yoga, meditation, and breathwork practices create space to quiet the mind and restore the nervous system. Beyond the grounds, the Atlantic coastline opens onto some of the world's most beautiful and untouched beaches, cliffs, and crystal clear water. Created as a sanctuary from the pace and pressure of everyday life, The Respite is a chance to soften, reset, and come home to yourself.

Breakfast · Lunch · Dinner
Diets catered
Vegetarian
Cocoon believes a nourishing meal and a delicious feast don't need to be mutually exclusive. All food is farm to table, with most of the produce coming from their property or a nearby farm. A typical breakfast includes eggs, local fruit, Greek yogurt, homemade granola, honey, homemade jam, slow-rise bread, and a daily tonic. Lunch is often a bowl, a base of ancient grains like farro topped with avocado, roasted vegetables, nori, or mixed greens. For dinner, expect Indian and Japanese curries, Mediterranean stews, legumes, locally raised chicken or fresh caught fish, rice, and salad. There is also an outdoor wood-fired oven for a special evening of handmade pizza and a spritz bar. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated with advanced notice.
