Retreats

Just a short 20 minute drive from Faro Airport, the retreat is easy to reach yet feels worlds away from the rush of travel. Nestled in the peaceful countryside, it sits close to some of the Algarve’s most beautiful untouched beaches, where golden sands and turquoise waters invite quiet reflection or leisurely afternoon strolls.

Nearby, Fuesta and Olhao, are charming seaside fisherman’s villages which add a touch of local authenticity—whitewashed houses, rugged boats, and waterfront cafés offering a glimpse into the region’s relaxed coastal life. It’s an ideal setting for those seeking tranquillity and an authentic view of Portugal life.

To fully enjoy the benefits of our programs, there is a minimum required duration for each type of retreat. The Relaxation Retreat, our introductory program, starts with a minimum stay of one night, while the other programs require a minimum stay of three nights. The Weight Loss retreat is an exception, with a minimum stay of five nights.

Non hotel guests are warmly welcomed at Shanti-Som Algarve, making it an inviting sanctuary for anyone seeking a moment of calm and wellbeing. Whether you’re visiting for rejuvenating spa treatments, holistic wellness consultations, or simply wish to enjoy a nourishing lunch, dinner, or a relaxing drink in our serene surroundings, you’re always invited to share in the retreat experience.

We also provide a Day Retreat option for those who would like to stay and enjoy a program of Yoga, Meditation, lunch, spa treatment and use of the facilities for the day.
