Yoga, Hike and SUP in Portugal

Can thoroughly recommend the MBA trip to Quinta Camarena for the yoga, hiking and SUP. The whole experience ran very smoothly from booking to airport collection and transfer, to the accommodation and activities. I had a fabulous time and will definitely book again. The accommodation was of a high quality in a beautiful and peaceful setting; the food was delicious. A good balance of activities and free time.

Vera and Cameron are the sweetest duo running the Quinta. They clearly have built amazing relationships with local producers and guides - everything was so well organised, the food was delicious and the scenery surpassed my expectations.

This was hands down one of the best MBA trip we have done, the location was beautiful, the surrounding nature was incredible, the hosts were welcoming, friendly, informative and worked hard to provide the best experience for us all. Their ethos of supporting local suppliers, working sustainably and caring about their environment was the most genuine we have experienced, you could see this dedication to their surroundings in everything they did, the meals were wonderfully fresh and were sourced locally and were seasonal. The aura and feel of the Quinta was relaxed, stress free, mindful and as such one of the most enjoyable and healthy vacations we have experienced. Thank you!

This is an excellent trip and I would recommend it highly. The location is fantastic and the hosts, Vera and Cam are exceptional. The food is top quality and prepared by expert chefs. The activities are very enjoyable and offer a good blend of exertion and relaxation. The accommodation is very comfortable and very thoughtfully designed. Overall a very memorable adventure.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Quinta Camarena and it truly was the trip of a lifetime! It truly is paradise filled with such wonderful people including the owners Cam and Vera.

We did a four-day yoga retreat that included some exceptional meals that were both delicious and pretty healthy too… don’t worry they also have a great wine selection 😉. Everything is local to the region of Alentejo, and the chefs did such an amazing job of showcasing the seasonal organic produce from this area.

I’ve also gotta say, we’ve discovered parts of Portugal we would never have found on our own or through online research, thanks to their guided walking tours and daily activities. We were kind of new to the “adventure holiday” but this trip seemed to be made for people just like us.

All in all, we couldn’t think of a better way to break from the usual city holiday (although we did that first) and celebrate our honeymoon.

We’re already planning our return! X

Had an absolutely amazing time on this trip. I wish it had been a week longer! The accommodation and surroundings were absolutely beautiful and nothing was too much trouble for Cam and Vera the hosts. The food (largely locally grown and sourced) was absolutely incredible, and the local wines were a nice touch, and delicious too! I had to skip one of the holes as I was unwell but the rest of the group loved it, and the one I did was also fab. Loved, loved, loved the yoga on the deck in the forest. As well as a fabulous teacher who encouraged us to challenge ourselves, it was just such beautiful surroundings to be practicing in. All in all, an absolutely fab 4 days. I can’t wait to come back!

This trip was amazing! I feel so refreshed and energized that it feels like I was away for much longer than I really was. I particularly appreciated the mix of activities on offer, from yoga to some stunning hikes, and SUP, and that there was a perfect balance of activities and downtime. The accommodation was interesting and really cool and the food was a highlight too - everything locally sourced and every meal had its own story. The hosts know their area really well and the trip felt very rooted in authentic Alentejo.

I returned from the trip feeling energised, empowered and inspired. Our group bonded really well, helped by the relaxed atmosphere and ambiance created by Vera and Cam. Cannot fault the accommodation, food or activities. Would love to do it all over again.

Quinta Camarena is a beautiful setting for this trip. There’s a great balance of activities and free time to relax in a hammock or by the pool. It’s also an easy walk into the town if you wanted to. The food served was incredible and all locally sourced. I will definitely be returning!

Had an absolutely wonderful trip. Quinta Camarena is beautiful and offers great hospitality. The food is out of the world! All activities were really enjoyable and at just the right level of difficulty for everyone. I left the trip feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Absolutely amazing trip to Portugal. Hosts were brilliant. Yoga, SUP and hiking were very well organised. Beautiful food and wine. Will definitely return!

This is an excellent trip. The hosts are absolutely wonderful and go out of their way to make you feel welcome and your stay easy. The food was fantastic and I really enjoyed hearing about the local sourcing and processes for making it. The activities were great, my favourite was the stand up paddle boarding. The guides were all friendly and knowledgeable. The only thing that couldn’t be organised was the weather - when our SUP trip had to be abandoned due to a storm, Cam and Vera rearranged the schedule and we went the next day. They also arranged for a local masseuse to visit at an additional charge. I highly recommend this trip!

Vera and Cam were amazing hosts. Their dedication to their food, guest house grounds, and sustainability was palpable. Their home cooked meals were extremely flavorful and artful. A clear labor of love. The local wine was also a highlight. It seemed like every ingredient we ate had a story and was harvested within a small radius of the grounds. Hyper local! They had a wonderful guide for the hikes who was extremely knowledgable about our local surroundings and up for answering tons of questions. The yoga instructor was amazing. Her guidance for poses and meditations during the practices were perfect. Really great experience.
