SHORT FLIGHTS, BIG ADVENTURES

Yoga retreats in Europe

Small-group yoga retreats abroad, from the wild Atlantic coast of Portugal to the mountains of Mallorca and the French Alps.

Yoga retreats abroad, a short flight from the UK

Each of our European yoga retreats pairs daily yoga with a different kind of adventure, from surfing the Atlantic to hiking mountain trails. They all share the same Radiant Waves rhythm: morning and evening sessions, time outdoors, nourishing food and a small group of people who quickly feel like old friends. Once you’ve booked, we share recommended flight times and help coordinate group transfers so arrivals line up.

Portugal: surf and yoga near Sagres

Our Portugal surf and yoga retreat is six nights in a traditional villa above Salema, a fishing village on Portugal’s wild southwest coast near Sagres. The week includes morning and evening yoga, Pilates and breathwork, three guided surf sessions tailored to your level and a coastal hike day exploring hidden bays. Faro is the closest airport, just over an hour’s drive away.

Mallorca: Pilates, yoga and hiking near Valldemossa

Our Mallorca retreat is five nights in a traditional Mallorcan finca among olive trees in the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana, near Valldemossa. Expect morning and evening yoga, Pilates and breathwork, three guided hikes through the mountains and along the coast, a breathwork and cold-plunge session, Mediterranean swims and a trip to the local market in Valldemossa. Palma airport is a short 30-minute drive from the villa.

The Alps: yoga, hikes and wild swims in Les Gets

Our Alps yoga and hiking retreat is five nights in an alpine chalet in Les Gets in the French Alps, with two daily wellbeing sessions of yoga, Pilates, breathwork and meditation, four guided mountain hikes with wild swims in alpine lakes and a BBQ night. Geneva is the nearest airport, about 1 hour 15 minutes away by car or transfer.

Choosing your European yoga retreat

If you want to learn to surf or catch more waves, Portugal is the one for you. If you love walking, our yoga and hiking holidays in Mallorca and the Alps combine guided hikes with daily yoga. Craving somewhere warmer? Our Costa Rica retreat takes yoga and surf to Santa Teresa. Coming on your own? Most of our guests do, so read our guide to solo yoga retreats, or see our FAQs for costs, deposits and what’s included.

YOGA RETREATS ABROAD

Good to know

Do I need to be good at yoga?

Not at all. Our retreats cater for all levels of yogi and no prior experience is needed.

What if I’ve never surfed?

You’re in good hands. In Portugal we surf with local instructors who split the group by ability, so you’ll be in the water with people of a similar level, and first-timers start in the white water. If you’d rather not surf at all, message us before you book and we can offer a package without the surf lessons.

How do I get to the retreats in Europe?

Fly into Faro for Portugal, Palma for Mallorca or Geneva for the Alps. We share recommended flight times and help coordinate group transfers once you’ve booked. Flights are not included in the price.

Can I come on my own?

Absolutely, most of our guests do, so you’ll be in good company. Book a shared room to meet new people, or a private room if you’d like your own space.
