INSPIRIT | Movement, Meditation, Food & Wine | Chef Eva, Elia, Ieva
Discover the beauty of the Algarve region in Southern Portugal through a curated experience of movement, food, wine, and adventures. We offer this all-inclusive week as a celebration of our senses and our spirits. This awe-inspiring destination has been seducing travelers for centuries with its rugged coastline, sandy beaches, whitewashed fishing villages, architectural elegance and cobbled streets.
Our team is comprised of ieva, Elia, and Chef Eva and we bring our collective passion to guide, serve, and host. We have curated a unique all-encompassing experience that blends our backgrounds in movement, meditation, food and wine. Each day, Elia and ieva will lead you through playful and restorative practices integrating yoga, qigong, and meditation. Inspired by the terroir, we will share delicious homemade meals created by Chef Eva. In addition, ieva will host educational wine tastings drawing upon her expansive sommelier background.
Our home for the week is a boutique country villa and offers everyone a seamless blend of luxury, comfort, and beauty. Its exquisite grounds and fresh interiors offer the perfect space to ground, expand, and unwind. When we aren’t soaking up the beautiful grounds of Quinta Bonita, we will be exploring the surrounding region and savoring local food.
Each day there will be free time to breathe in the sea, sunbathe poolside, and relax in the botanical gardens. Treat yourself to the gift of travel, self-care, and connection. We take care of the logistics, while you take care of yourself.
