5 Days Algarve Wellness and Yoga Holiday with Embodied Energy Wellness

Day 1 - Travel to Portugal

Today marks the beginning of your restorative wellness retreat as we journey together from Dublin to the sun-kissed Algarve. Upon arrival in Faro, we’ll travel by coach to our elegant 4-star hotel, Vila Galé Lagos, a 4-star sanctuary overlooking Meia Praia Beach.

Located right on Lagos beachfront and the sandy Meia Praia Beach, this stylish seaside haven is surrounded by tranquil gardens and gentle ocean breezes. With the charming town of Lagos nearby and modern facilities designed for comfort and relaxation, it’s the perfect setting to restore body, mind, and spirit.

After settling in, join Christine and our retreat circle for a Heart-Centered Opening Ceremony to set intentions for the days ahead. Together, we will create a sacred space for transformation.

As evening falls, we share a delicious welcome dinner and begin to unwind into retreat mode.

Day 2 – Beach Yoga and Cacao Ceremony

Wake to the sounds of the waves and greet the day with a Sunrise Meditation, followed by Energising Yoga to connect breath and movement.

The rest of the day is yours to enjoy as you wish — lounge by the pool, stroll along the beach, or explore Lagos’ cobbled streets.

As evening falls, we gather for a transformative Cacao Ceremony guided by Christine. Rooted in ancient Mayan and Aztec traditions and reimagined through the Embodied Energy Method, this sacred ritual uses ceremonial-grade cacao opens the heart, deepens inner awareness, and invites profound emotional release and connection.

Day 3 – Cruise to the Benagil Caves & Candlelight Yin

Begin our morning with a sunrise meditation, absorbing the tranquil energy of dawn and awakening the body and mind with gentle breath and awareness.

Today, we set out to explore one of the Algarve’s natural treasures — the world-famous Benagil Caves. Our scenic cruise follows the coastline past Carvoeiro’s golden beaches, Algar Seco’s cliffs, the Alfanzina Lighthouse, and the turquoise waters of Praia da Marinha. We’ll anchor in a secluded bay for some time in the water — enjoy a refreshing swim, try stand-up paddleboarding, or simply relax on the sunbathing nets, soaking up the sun and sea breeze as we sail this unforgettable coastline. (Please note: this excursion is subject to weather conditions. In case of poor weather, an alternative experience will be arranged.)

On returning to the hotel, your afternoon is free to rest, journal, or simply soak up the peaceful atmosphere. After dinner, as night falls, Christine will guide a Candlelight Yin Yoga & Integration Session — a deeply restorative practice that invites surrender, stillness, and soulful integration.

Day 4 - Beach Yoga and Closing Ceremony

Start the day grounded in nature with a Beach Yoga Session under the open sky. Feel the sand beneath your feet, the salt air in your lungs, and the rhythm of the waves guiding your flow.

The afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure. Perhaps wander into the historic town of Lagos, where the charm of cobbled streets meets the sparkle of the marina. Discover hidden cafés, family-run restaurants, and local shops nestled within its ancient city walls — a beautiful reflection of the Algarve’s rich culture and coastal soul.

As the sun sets, we gather one final time for a Sacred Closing Ceremony — reflecting on our journey, celebrating inner shifts, and anchoring the wisdom we’ll carry home

Day 5 – Return home

After breakfast, we make our way to Faro Airport for our return to Dublin — carrying home the peace, clarity, and joy cultivated throughout our time together.

You’ll leave lighter, more connected, and deeply aligned with your true self.
