COME AWAY WITH US, AND COME HOME TO YOURSELF
Join Jen Wendowski and Ali Hubsher for a beautiful week in Portugal’s sunny Algarve Coast. Immerse yourself in authentic Portuguese culture as we spend a week in a historic fishing town nestled on the coast. Find the perfect balance of daily soul-nourishing yoga practices, adventure that will ignite your sense of play and pure rejuvenation that will allow for personal reflection and growth.
Whether you’re traveling with a friend or flying solo, our adventure to Portugal will help you:
SLOW DOWN
Our modern, day to day lives are incredibly full and hectic. Our week together will give you an opportunity to slow down and fill your cup with restorative and invigorating activities. The hardest decisions of your day will be whether to read a book by the pool, explore a nearby island or grab a glass of wine with a friend and catch up.
RECONNECT WITH YOURSELF
It’s easier than ever to get lost in our work, relationships and errands. Throughout our week together you will tune in physically, emotionally and spiritually to what matters to you most. You will leave feeling incredibly lit up and fully engaged with your sense of self which will positively impact both big and small decisions that you make in your daily life moving forward.
BE IN COMMUNITY + HAVE A BLAST!
As connected as we are these days, most of our interactions are digital. Throughout our trip, you’ll be surrounded by a supportive community of like-minded individuals, fostering new friendships and connections where you can be yourself. Traveling with a group of people, most of whom you are meeting for the first time, is a special, unique bond that will forever connect us together.
Whether you're seeking a break from the everyday, or a chance to connect with new friends, this adventure promises to deliver an unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling invigorated and inspired.
Pack your bags and get ready to have some fun - adventure awaits!
CAsa fuzetta
We are so excited to partner with Casa Fuzetta, a beautifully renovated historic home in the heart of Olhão on Portugal’s infamous Algarve Coast. With elements dating back to the sixteenth century, Casa Fuzetta has been curated to combine old world Portuguese character and fine luxury. With a rooftop pool, rooftop yoga area, indoor yoga space, cozy places to relax and beautiful group dining areas, you’re bound to be pulled into another world. We will have the luxury of enjoying the entire house to ourselves for complete relaxation and connection amongst our group. Condé Nast Traveller and Travel & Leisure have both included Casa Fuzetta in their shortlists of the best yoga retreats in the world in both 2023 and 2024!
-
Olhão is a coastal fishing village known for its down to earth salty charm, warm and hospitable people, creative community, cobbled streets and faded grandeur. Wander the streets to explore local restaurants, bustling markets, and the beautiful coastline. Casa Fuzetta is just a short walk to the port where you can hop on a ferry or water taxi to stunning barrier islands. The 4 neighboring barrier islands each have a distinct feel, beautiful unspoiled beaches, and wonderful low key restaurants/beach bars where you will happily while away the day.
-
Casa Fuzetta is home to 12 beautiful private rooms, each with a private ensuite bathroom. While wandering the halls of Casa Fuzetta you will find a library opening onto a central courtyard, a meditation room, a game room, two dedicated massage/treatment rooms, and multiple terraces and outdoor sitting areas for communal entertaining or sneaking away to read a book. The rooftop at Casa Fuzetta hosts a pool, outdoor yoga space and lounge area.
-
Our private chef will be cooking up daily feasts in Casa Fuzetta’s large commercial kitchen. The chef will be giving us a taste of Portuguese culture as well as dishes from around the world. Get excited for a true farm-to-table experience that supports the local farming and fishing communities. From smoothies and frittatas for breakfast, to exquisite seasonal dishes like aubergine steaks with creamy lemon polenta, the chef will ensure we are fueled and have plenty of options to munch on. Dinner is a combination of family style meals to encourage sharing and passing plates. We will also travel to a local vineyard to tour and learn about local agriculture and have a meal (with a wine tasting option) among the vines!
-
Casa Fuzetta was designed with yoga in mind. Each morning we'll start with a Yoga Habit style Power Flow on the rooftop. We will also have the option for indoor yoga if weather intervenes. There are many places throughout the house to find a mindful moment, including the meditation room and library. We will also have two guided group meditations throughout the week. One evening is reserved for restoration as a local teacher and musician will be leading our group in a Yin class accompanied by live piano. No need to bring your own mat unless you prefer to! Casa Fuzetta comes stocked with mats, straps, bolsters, blankets and blocks.
-
The down time and rest throughout our week will be balanced with fun, invigorating activities that will allow us to really take in all that the Algarve Coast has to offer. We will embark on a boat trip to explore the marine coast with opportunities to paddle board and kayak off the boat. We will explore local farmland and spoil our taste buds during a trip to a renowned local vineyard. Lastly, we will do a hike along beautiful cliffed beaches with time to relax and enjoy the view. All of this is included in our retreat to provide a well rounded adventure! There are endless additional opportunities for adventure such as surfing, exploring the nearby islands, renting bicycles and more!
-
We encourage balance on our retreats and want guests to leave feeling restored. Casa Fuzetta boasts two massage rooms for spa treatments. We will partner with experienced local masseuses to deliver whatever your body is calling for.

7 days/6 nights of restoration, adventure, and connection!

Dinner at the Morgado Do Quintão Vineyard: Nestled amongst the Algarve's orange groves and olive orchards is Morgado Do Quintão, a family-owned organic vineyard estate. We will absorb the history and natural beauty of the vineyard with a farm-to-table 3-course dinner and wine pairing among the vines. The wine pairing is included but optional for our friends who would prefer not to partake.
Hanging Valley Hike: Hike through the stunning geology of the yellow warm-colored Coastal Cliffs hanging over the turquoise Atlantic Ocean waters. Expect outstanding views and breathtaking landscapes. After our hike we will rest and hang out on one of the beaches surrounded by the cliffs.
