Discover Alma Nova Retreats
Welcome to Alma Nova Retreats, where every journey is an opportunity to reconnect. Learn about our passion, our dedicated team, and the unique experiences we craft for you in the beautiful Azores.
Our inspiration and vision
Alma Nova Retreats was inspired by my passion for nature, movement, and the ocean. Yoga, hiking, and surfing have always been a big part of my life, and I wanted to create a way to share that lifestyle with others in a meaningful way.
Living in the Azores, I’ve experienced how powerful it is to disconnect from routine and reconnect with nature, and I wanted to create a space where others can feel the same. Through these retreats, I hope guests not only discover the beauty of the island, but also feel more relaxed, present, and connected with themselves and with the people around them.
My goal is for each person to leave with unforgettable memories, a sense of balance, and a renewed energy that stays with them long after the experience.
Meet our dedicated team
Alma Nova Retreats is built around a small and passionate team of people who share a deep connection with nature, movement, and the ocean. At the heart of it is a genuine love for the Azores and a desire to share its beauty in an authentic and meaningful way.
What makes us special is our personal approach: we focus on small groups, real connections, and creating a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable. We combine local knowledge, experience, and good energy to make each retreat feel unique, natural, and unforgettable.
Balancing adventure and serenity
We create a natural balance by combining movement, nature, and moments of rest in a flexible and intuitive way. Each day includes a mix of activities like yoga, hiking, or surfing, adapted to the weather and the group’s energy, while always leaving space to relax, slow down, and enjoy the surroundings.
Personal growth comes through the experience itself: being in nature, stepping out of routine, and reconnecting with the present moment. By keeping groups small and the atmosphere relaxed and supportive, we allow each guest to enjoy the retreat in their own way, whether they are seeking adventure, rest, or a deeper connection with themselves.
