If you are ready for some personal coaching to level up your health and wellbeing, then join Alkalize Me at Cara Creek Eco Lodge in Central Portugal in September 2024, where you will enjoy seven days of serenity whilst experiencing the simpler things in life the way that nature intended.
The eco pods at Cara Creek are every glamper's dream. Nestled amid the picturesque landscape, there are four different pod types, each offering rustic luxury and a tranquil retreat where you can truly unwind and reconnect with nature. Immerse yourself in the stunning surroundings and wake up refreshed to the sweet sounds of chirping birds and rustling leaves.
These pentagon-shaped pods feature a small window and a roll-up door, allowing you to appreciate the view from your comfy single bed or while relaxing on the spacious private deck.
Named after their triangular design, every Tri Pod comes with its own front deck for savoring the pool and the panoramic tree-top views. They come with two single beds.
These premium, pentagon-shaped glamping pods are inspired by the tetrahedron, nature's most elemental 3D form. Soaring up to six meters high, each pod features a stargazing ceiling and a comfortable double bed.
New to Spring 2024 and available for this retreat, there will be four additional distinctive pods. Similar in design to the Tetra Pods, the Alta pods boast comfy double beds and breathtaking valley views.
The custom-made design of these pods, inspired by sacred geometry, creates a sense of harmony and balance, adding an extra touch of magic to your glamping experience.
Private accommodation is standard. However, couples or friends who are booking together can opt to share. Showers are heated by solar power or a wood-burning fire. Both flushing and dry compost toilets are on site. Showers and toilets are all shared.
Use of the onsite facilities is included in the cost of the retreat:
Picture yourself lounging on the porch, savoring a cup of warm herbal tea and taking in the panoramic views of rolling hills and breathtaking sunsets. And when you're ready to rest, surrender to the embrace of a cozy bed, guaranteeing a blissful night's sleep under a canopy of stars.
With the Eco Pods at Cara Creek, every glamper's dream becomes a reality, where nature becomes your neighbour and serenity becomes your sanctuary.
Please note bathroom facilities are shared.

He chose to trust in the power of plants to heal himself from the inside out and after experiencing a huge shift in awareness whilst on an extended juice fast he realised just how powerful living a plant-based life was for both his body and mind. He has since helped hundreds of others to heal themselves.
