ADVENTURES IN PORTUGAL

October 10-15, 2023 | Estoril & Lisbon, Portugal

Adventures in Portugal

On this exciting retreat to Portugal, we'll explore palaces, beaches and gardens while getting to know the local culture and staying active! Estoril is a stunning beach town just outside of Lisbon, in the heart of the Portuguese Riviera. Known for being the inspiration behind James Bond "Casino Royale", Estoril is stylish, sophisticated and full of local charm.

From dining at family-run restaurants to hiking to the westernmost tip of Europe to high-energy fitness classes overlooking colorful palaces, a truly unique and authentic experience awaits.

Fitness
This all-levels fitness retreat will incorporate a variety of workouts ranging from strength training to conditioning to restorative stretching. Coach Beth Roberts will start each day with a higher-intensity class targeting the whole body and invigorating the group for the day ahead. Then a second afternoon / early evening classes will be on the more restorative side with emphasis on core work and stretching with myofascial release. ​

Adventure
Working out is only part of the fun on this Portugal adventure. Throughout the retreat, we'll have unique experiences ranging from hiking along the coast in Sintra, to visiting Pena Palace and Monserrate gardens. Plus, we'll take a day trip to Lisbon with a private tour and free time to explore!

Relaxation
In between our activities and workouts will be plenty of free time to relax or explore on your own! Our hotel is in the middle of Estoril with many restaurants, cafes and shopping nearby. Plus, we'll be across the street from a local park. And if you prefer to stay in and relax, our hotel has a gorgeous spa with a la carte services and complimentary use of the dynamic swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and gym.
