Experiences
Days to spend slowly, in the garden, on the river, in the church, and along the coast a kilometre away.
Days here
From the horta to the Atlantic, the estate is made for unhurried days. Choose a single afternoon or weave several together; retreats combine clean cuisine, movement and rest.
Table & craft
Cookery classes, floral and artisan workshops with our resident florist, and wine tastings with local producers.
In the grounds
Picnics across the estate, garden games, ‘horta mornings’ in the vegetable beds, and bicycle rides to Afife village and the coast.
Stillness
Massages in the convent's stone room, morning yoga in the rose garden, and sound baths beneath the historic church.
River & coast
River baths in the natural pools, guided walks, surfing the Atlantic with local instructors, and Fado evenings with Portuguese cuisine.
The full offering
A gathering of the things you can do here, chosen on the day, shaped by the season and the weather.
Slow down, breathe deeply, and let the stillness of the past find you.
Convento de Cabanas
Retreats
Tailored retreats bring together clean cuisine and yoga, sound healing, reiki, chi kung and meditation, held in the quiet of the monastery and its gardens.
Spend your days here
Stay a while and weave your own days from the garden, the river and the coast.
