We are delighted to announce the launch of our latest retreat,

The Detox Barn - Algarve.

This exquisite venue is the perfect place to launch our truly transformational wellness programme.

Set in a nature reserve surrounded by pink flamingos and overlooking the Castro Marim salt marshes, it's truly beautiful. Castro Marim itself is a charming village in the Algarve with cobbled streets, whitewashed walls and terracotta roofs.

Characterised by bright blue painted motifs and geometric patterns on the facades of the neat little cottages, this is a picture-perfect place to relax and unwind. Castro Marim is hidden between a nature reserve and the Spanish border, surrounded by wetland, salt ponds, and sandwiched between a 13th century castle, and a 17th century fortress. The surrounding area is filled with saltpans and the Reserva Natural do Sapal, a 2,000 hectare marshland.

This unique ecological habitat is best known for the flamingos which stop off here to feed. It’s also just a ten-minute drive to the stunning coastline and breath-taking beaches.

As part of your investment in health, our five-day programme offers a diverse array of activities and experiences carefully curated to nourish your body, mind, and soul. Please note that the timetable will be sent closer to the time of the retreat, and adjustments may be made depending on weather conditions.
