Wow, what a fantastic five days! A simply jaw dropping view from the terrace, well appointed rooms and phenomenal hosts!
There is a very strong sense of calm at the Algarve retreat, even a daily hot lemon drink delivered to your door means there’s no need to set a alarm, so my wife and I started our digital detox from day 1!
Yoga first thing in the morning, poolside followed by a relaxing, social breakfast with the Gavin Sister's legendary Funki Coffee, what better way to start the day.
All meals are lovingly prepared and presented, with the weather in the mid twenties every meal was a pleasure, enhanced by the joy of dining outside!
The venue, atmosphere and company means that connections are made almost immediately and these only grew stronger over the coming days.
The Gavin Sister’s and their team worked tirelessly to provide the relaxing environment we all needed to decompress and reflect along with therapists that provided treatments to relax further, or sessions to guide those seeking better mental clarity.
It’s always great to come away from a retreat having gained knowledge and made connections with like-minded others and the Gavin Sisters provide the platform and amazing vegan cuisine to do this in abundance.
They have a great way of hosting a group that is not only informative and funny but having heard their nutrition and wellness back story, it is clearly something that they have a shared passion for, and this is definitely contagious!
We had such a fantastic time at the retreat that the five days felt much much longer, I guess this is what happens when you get to properly relax.
We cannot recommend the Gavin Sisters as hosts, enough, whether it’s in Suffolk or Portugal, you will be guaranteed a truly memorable experience.
