The D'alijo chefs are passionate in their mission to create healthy, flavoursome and nutritious vegetarian and vegan food. Every meal is a colourful buffet of wholesome, fresh and where possible locally sourced food, from their garden and orchard.

The yoga classes are held in a beautiful purpose built heated yoga studio situated at the top of a terraced hill. The yoga room has floor to ceiling windows with stunning views out to the peaceful surrounding valley. Prepare to enjoy your final savasana to the sounds of birds, water and all things nature. 

The grounds are vastly spacious for you to enjoy your own company or to relax with others. There is a large terrace by the main house, a Balinese inspired pool, beautifully maintained walking paths and plenty of walking trails from the centre.

Outside of the centre there are possible excursions: D’ouro Valley wine tasting, Guimareas city trip, Braga city trip or guided mountain biking in the surrounding nature. It is also possible to book in for a massage at the retreat centre. 

Weather:

Obviously nothing is guaranteed and the dates for this retreat are not within the summer season. According to the D'alijo staff, temperatures that time of year are pretty mild with an average of about 24 degrees. There is about a 50/50 percent chance of getting a perfectly sunny day or some clouds with mild rainfall. We are hoping for a mild, sunny, T-shirt weather week and you will get all the heat you need from the HOT room!
