The Location
Nestled in the Algarve foothills of Portugal, our retreat centre is a meticulously restored wellness haven born from the ruins of Corgas Bravas, an abandoned mountain village dating back to 1898. Surrounded by the pristine Serra do Caldeirão mountains, you’ll enjoy 360° views of breathtaking vistas. Rejuvenate amidst nature's tranquility, in a secluded sanctuary offering an escape from the modern world.
