If you’re the type of person always craving the next adventure, then this retreat holiday is for you. We’ve pulled together three of our favourite things that combine epic adventure with nourishing down-time. Breathtaking hikes along coastal paths and through mountain passes. A stunning retreat space that feels decadent yet homely. And daily Yoga to enliven and refresh both your busy mind and your weary body. Enjoy four optional days of guided hikes with a local guide. Along with two days to unwind, enjoying the heated villa pool and stunning views or used to explore the local area. We’ll share ideas on add-on activities that you can enjoy solo or with other members of the group.Â
Lead by Karen Maidment from Soul Connection Yoga each retreat day will include time to stretch and recuperate, time to play and laugh, time to strengthen and awaken. Karen is known for her playful and creative Yoga sequencing but with 10 years running her own health and wellbeing clinic her classes also work deeply to restore and realign a frazzled mind and body! You’ll enjoy two optional daily classes. One to boost your energy and one to boost your energy reserves! Meaning you leave feeling incredible and continue to feel incredible for weeks to come.Â
The Hiking:
We’ve teamed up with local Mountain Guides to deliver ‘ just for us’ secret hikes along with signature jaw-dropping destinations you’ll be itching to experience.
Madeira is all about nature, and many of these natural jewels are only reachable by walking, or through the old walking trails, that for centuries connected the people of the island.Â
The Accommodation:
Your home for the week is Villa Luz set in a quiet residential area high above the bustling town of Funchal. It’s heated infinity pool and huge verandah look out across the ocean and enjoy a south facing position.Â
A fully equipped kitchen features a breakfast table and leads to the covered veranda with outdoor dining table and built-in barbecue overlooking the pool, Funchal and the sea.
The Villa has three twin rooms. Two double rooms. Please note: since our retreats are largely frequented by female travellers if you are a solo male traveler you will more than likely need to be prepared to pay for single a single occupancy room. Email info@paddleboardingadventures.co.uk to request
