Yoga and Hiking Retreat Madeira

£0.00

7 nights | Yoga, hiking, nature and ocean adventures

Discover Madeira on an active yet restorative yoga holiday combining spectacular hikes, time by the ocean and plenty of opportunities to slow down and enjoy the island.

Madeira is an exceptional destination for outdoor lovers, with dramatic volcanic landscapes, lush valleys, waterfalls, winding levada trails and spectacular Atlantic views.

During the week, you’ll experience some of the island’s most beautiful scenery through guided hikes, coastal adventures and a boat trip, alongside time to explore Funchal.

Your Retreat Stay

You’ll stay in a beautiful historic Quinta overlooking Funchal Bay, surrounded by extensive grounds and sweeping views towards the Atlantic.

The estate has a peaceful and secluded atmosphere, with mature gardens, a vineyard, ponds, tennis courts and a large swimming pool. It’s an ideal place to relax and recharge after a day of exploring.

Despite its tranquil setting, Funchal is just around 15 minutes away on foot, giving you easy access to the city’s restaurants, markets, historic streets and local culture.

A Week of Adventure and Yoga

The itinerary brings together the highlights of Madeira while leaving enough space to enjoy the experience rather than rushing from one activity to the next.

Expect guided hikes through spectacular mountain scenery, walks along the island’s famous levada trails, waterfalls, coastal landscapes, time by the ocean and a boat trip. There will also be opportunities to discover Funchal and experience more of Madeira’s culture and character.

Yoga and relaxation are woven throughout the week, creating a balance between active exploration and restorative downtime.

This retreat is ideal for anyone looking to combine yoga and wellness with adventure, nature and a genuine sense of discovery.

Perfect for: yoga lovers, walkers, adventurous travellers and anyone looking for an active holiday with time to relax and reconnect with nature.

Your stay is at one of Madeira’s historic Quintas, set high above Funchal with beautiful views across the city and towards the Atlantic Ocean.

The extensive estate has a peaceful, private feel and is surrounded by mature gardens, a vineyard and plenty of spaces to unwind. Facilities include a large swimming pool, tennis courts, ponds and a pool room with billiards and table tennis.

Inside, there are comfortable sitting rooms, a library and a terrace overlooking Funchal. There is even a piano for those who fancy an evening of music.

The gardens are particularly special, filled with Madeira’s famous subtropical flowers and plants. There are plenty of quiet corners to settle down with a book, or you can simply spend the afternoon by the pool.

Despite the sense of being away from it all, the Quinta is conveniently located just a 15-minute walk from Funchal, so you can easily head into the city when you feel like exploring.

Yoga

The yoga programme is suitable for all levels, including complete beginners. Whether you are an experienced practitioner or stepping onto the mat for the first time, the sessions are designed to be accessible and enjoyable.

Whenever the weather allows, we’ll make use of the Quinta’s beautiful gardens, practising outdoors beneath the trees. There is also a dedicated indoor yoga space for quieter sessions and meditation.

Morning practices will combine grounding Hatha, energising flows and creative movement to prepare you for the day ahead.

Evening sessions will take a more restorative approach, with Yin, gentle practices and meditation providing time to slow down and settle after a day of exploring.

Please bring your own yoga equipment. A mat, block and blanket are recommended.

Retreat Schedule

The week is designed to combine active days with plenty of time to rest and enjoy your surroundings. Madeira’s volcanic terrain means that some of the hikes include both ascents and descents and can be challenging, but the pace will be relaxed, allowing time to appreciate the scenery and enjoy the experience.
