"I had an amazing time at the Salt Sisterhood retreat in Portugal! The accommodation was really high end, just beautiful. The food was incredible and plentiful, and my food allergy was dealt with really professionally, I felt very confident that I was taken care of. The yoga was wonderful, I really enjoyed the classes. And finally I was so appreciative of the two life guards during the swimming sessions. I'm not a strong swimmer, but enjoyed the swims very much. The coastline and beaches we went to swim were carefully chosen, stunning and the schedule of activity vs rest was perfect. Thank you!" Ruth Nicholas, Portugal Retreat Guest BOOK NOW

We aim to make our retreat as warm and welcoming as possible - just ask any of our past guests! WHAT LEVEL OF FITNESS DO I NEED TO HAVE TO ATTEND THE RETREAT? Although we encourage our guests to retreat the way they want to and skip any activity that doesn't suit them, we do recommend that you have a good level of physical fitness at the time you visit us so that you can enjoy and get the most out of all our planned activities. Some examples of what we will be doing include: a 40 minute moderately paced walk on woodland tracks; an hour long Vinyasa Flow Yoga class designed to challenge you but build strength and flexibility; a rock jumping swim session where we will climb down some rocks and jump from around 1 to 2 metres of height into the sea! Our guests can choose to skip any activity during our week, but to enjoy your time with us to the fullest you will need to be physically fit enough for the activities listed above. DO YOU CATER TO DIETARY REQUIREMENTS AND ALLERGIES? Yes! We will ask each guest at the time of booking if they have any dietary requirements or allergies at all and our experienced and talented chefs will be happy to accomodate them. CAN I BRING MY STAND-UP PADDLEBOARD, KAYAK OR OTHER CRAFT TO THE RETREAT? Unfortunately we cannot allow guests to bring their own watersports equipment to the retreat as we have not risk assessed these activities, and our qualified lifeguard can only provide water cover for swimmers at this time. ARE YOUR RETREATS INCLUSIVE TO TRANS WOMEN? Yes, absolutely! If you have any questions you'd like to ask us please get in touch.
