Description of the Retreat

About Wild View Retreat
Wild View Retreat has arisen from the ruins of an abandoned mountain village in the foothills of the Algarve in Portugal.
Originally built by a Portuguese Army General in 1898, the ‘Manor House’ and surrounding ruins have undergone a 1.5 year restoration and redevelopment project, transforming the iconic setting into a bespoke wellness retreat.
Wild View Retreat Corgas Bravas is defined by its spectacular uninterrupted 360° views of the Serra do Caldeirão mountains, a Zona De Intervenção Florestal protected for its natural beauty and famous Portuguese cortiça (cork) trees.
There are no cars, no roads, no buildings, no neighbours. Nothing but wilderness and nature. Nothing to hear but the birds and the wind. Nothing to do but restore and relax the body, mind and soul.
On the retreat all guests will be away from the pressures of modern society, isolated in nature embarking on a programme of detoxification, wellness and fitness, working towards restoring health and balance in our lives. You’ll return home feeling brand new and fantastic!
What to expect: Yoga, fitness classes, expert nutritious meals or juice fasting, nutritional therapy, guided walks, massage, gentle meditation, swimming, sunbathing, relaxing – it’s a holiday after all!
What not to expect: Alcohol, smoking or indulgent calorific meals. The retreat is adults only and the use of electronic devices and WIFI is restricted to designated places away from communal areas.
We do not follow any specific type of yoga philosophy or spiritual view and adopt an open door policy to all. Please note, due to the type of programmes we run, the Wild View Retreat is not suitable for under 18s.

    Overall Experience

    Andrew and Erika have done an amazing job restoring this property to an incredibly high standard and are warm and wonderful hosts. The natural setting is stunning. It was so nice to be immersed in a gorgeous environment where true healing can take place. Andrew’s passion for real food and good nutrition is inspiring and I felt in safe hands while doing the 7-day juice fast (something I had never done before). The size of the retreat means that everyone attending starts to feel like family (though there is always space and time to be on your own). I cannot recommend Wild View Retreat enough! It’s brilliant!

    Overall Experience

    I joined Andrew Erica and team for the opening week of this fabulous retreat and was blown away with the beautiful scenery and peacefulness of this far away haven. The accomdation was spacious &
    comfortable and Andrew and Erica were on tap for any queries and questions. The talks about how to nourish our bodies with healthy foods were educational and
    enlightening and delivered in a way that could be understood by all. The fitness classes, walks and yoga were tailored to those participating and not a generic class with no alternatives for the less able or flexible. It was a truly wonderful week with tasty juices and soups and I can’t wait to re-book and go back.

    Overall Experience

    Wild View Retreat is a vey special place, lovingly restored and renovated to a very high standard, and set in secluded, peaceful surroundings in Portugal with fabulous country views. The juice retreat I attended was wonderful, with delicious and varied juices each day – I did not feel hungry at all! Combined with yoga and fitness sessions, walks and plenty of time to relax beside the infinity pool it was a treat for both mind and body. Andrew and Erika are lovely hosts and have created a friendly atmosphere which made the whole experience inclusive for a solo traveller. I left feeling relaxed and revitalised, and the nutrition lectures gave me inspiration to carry on the good work at home. I highly recommend it.

Food

At Wild View Retreat guests are provided 3 delicious juices everyday alongside a warming soup or nutritious drink in the evening. The juices have been carefully designed by our nutritional therapist to support the detox process yet keep nutrient levels sustained to enable daily participation of the fitness and yoga classes. The busy programme of activity is deliberate to keep you distracted while you go through the fast. A daily programme of workshops and talks are provided to support improving dietary and lifestyle habits. When guests’ finish the week they feel renewed and reenergised armed with the tools and techniques to make positive improvements to their lifestyle.

Note on the last day of the fast guests have the option to break the fast with food samples made during cooking demos under guidance of the nutritional therapist.

      Testimonials:

      Just arrived home from this exquisite sanctuary . My brain fog has cleared . I’m 11.5llbs lighter and fully focused on my journey ahead to optimum health . The place itself is just perfection . The mountain walks are absolutely brilliant and they cater for all abilities . I was a little slower than some people and this was never a problem for them . The hammock outside the room was pure bliss . The whole place has been decorated beautifully and has a real cosy and welcoming feel to it . Andrew is a wealth of knowledge on nutrition and balancing body and mind . His talks were informative and thought provoking and he genuinely wants to help people live a healthier & happier life and he is so inspirational . All in all I can’t wait to go back and reinforce my journey and just RETREAT again . I hope they will do many more retreats so everyone can have a chance to experience this little gem of perfection . There’s so much more I can say eg Mandy was supportive and attended to your every need before it became a problem . Amie was just fantastic at the fitness and even though yoga is not really my thing Suzanne made it enjoyable . I will be booking again ASAP . Did I mention the scenery ? Sunsets ? Stunning location ? Fantastic infinity pool ? Or the close proximity to far airport ???? No ? 10 stars in my view ! Get yourself booked today !
