Portugal

Cocoon,July 12-19th 2025

About Cocoon

Cocoon Portugal is a 275 acre coastal farm + retreat, offering inspiration + community for the modern traveller.  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.  


The region of Alentejo is far removed from the coastal tourist culture of the rest of Europe. The beaches are windswept and untouched. As you move inland, golden rolling hillsides give way to a rugged coastline, traditional whitewashed villages, and enchanting medieval towns.



The retreat

A sun drenched week by the ocean; two daily yoga classes, 3 delicious wholesome and fresh meals, and plenty of time to soak into the heat of Portuguese summer. Relax, unwind and make lifelong friends and memories.


There are two yoga shalas at Cocoon. The pine shala is nestled under the canopy of old growth pines, with the occasional sheep or goat roaming around nearby. The pine shala is especially dreamy in the later afternoons, as the sunlight sifts through the trees. The indoor shala is lightfilled and fresh, with high ceilings and traditional hand-made Santa Catarina tiles, which are a joy to practice on.

    Nourishment

    Traditional farming here is a way of life. Cork production still continues.  At Cocoon, the eggs come from their chickens, the cheese from their neighbors sheep, and olives from an olive grower down the road. 


    Expect three healthy, lovingly-prepared meals each day. Strong coffee and herbal teas are available throughout the day. For breakfast, expect homemade granola, greek yogurt, local honey, homemade jam, frittata, oats, fresh local fruit, and slow-rise breads. Lunch is typically lighter, like a bowl of ancient grains. Dinner is served family style, expect things like curry, beetroot hummus ancient grains, salads, and soups. The menu is always changing, depending on the seasons and whats available.

    Flights & Travel

    You can fly into either Lisbon or Faro.  Most people choose to fly into Lisbon, and stay a couple nights on either end of the trip to enjoy Portugal’s charming capital. From Lisbon, Cocoon is a two-hour drive south. From Faro, it's a two-hour drive north. 


    Car rental

    We highly recommend that you rent a car. Renting a car in Portugal is easy and inexpensive. You will set your retreat up for success if you have a car, as you will  be able to freely explore the surroundings. 

    For around Lisbon, Uber is widely used, and we recommend it. The rates are reasonable + it’s a safe way to get around.  Uber is not widely available in the area around Cocoon.
