Details

Winter Escape: A Journey of Breath and Rejuvenation. The Winter Escape is a five-day sanctuary designed for those ready to pause the high-speed pace of daily life and reconnect with their inner selves. Set in the healing hills of the Algarve at the elegant Moodz Spa & Resort, this retreat blends deep inner work with pure enjoyment. Our intent is to provide a space where there is no performance and no "must-dos." Through the power of Conscious Connected Breathwork, gentle yoga, and the stillness of nature, you will be guided to regulate your nervous system and release stored stress. Between sessions, you are invited to enjoy the full spa facilities, wander through olive groves, or share heartfelt conversations under the stars. You will leave not just with memories, but with a profound sense of clarity, renewed energy, and an open heart, ready to live in sync with your true self.

Location

Viseu, Portugal

The Algarve, Portugal’s southernmost region, is famed for its sun-soaked Mediterranean climate, pristine golden-sand beaches, and dramatic limestone cliffs that plunge into turquoise waters—ideal for swimming, surfing, and scenic cliff-top hikes. Beyond the coastline’s spectacular sea caves like Benagil and Marinha Beach, the interior reveals lush vineyards, rolling hills, and cork oak forests around Monchique. Rich in history, the Algarve’s towns—such as Faro, Lagos, and Silves—feature medieval castles, Moorish remnants, and charming fishing harbours. A vibrant yet relaxed culinary and cultural scene thrives here, with fresh seafood, local wines, and traditional festivals reflecting Moorish and maritime heritage. With over 300 days of sunshine yearly, safe and welcoming towns, and a range of luxury resorts, boutique stays, and outdoor adventures, the Algarve offers an all-around holiday experience.
