Buddha Retreats is a yoga and surf place in the picturesque village of Columbeira, Portugal, 70km north of Lisbon. Buddha Retreats offers a place where guests can relax and recharge and slow down from the often fast-paced daily life and take care of body and mind.
The property consists of a main house, several additional buildings, terraces, an indoor and outdoor yoga studio, a swimming pool, a small river, fruit trees, a meditation garden, and rural land. The spacious gardens surrounding Buddha Retreats make sure that there is more than enough space for everyone to enjoy their stay.
To keep a family-feel, they never have more than 20 guests staying in their beautiful quinta in comfortable single and double bedrooms.
The main house has nine bed rooms and six bathrooms, and an annex with three apartments. The large south-facing terrace with beautiful views over the surrounding green hills is the ideal place to enjoy dinner or just to relax with a book.
The spacious living and dining room is the center of the house where meals can be enjoyed together, and the big fireplace makes sure that even during colder days, it is warm and cozy. There is an indoor and outdoor yoga space for daily yoga classes and an outdoor swimming pool to cool down during the warmer days.
The main house is surrounded by a big garden with numerous fruit trees which offers enough space for everyone to relax. For guests arriving by car, there is a car park on the grounds.
The quinta has been built and expanded over the years so every room is different and has its own character. As the main house is built against a rock, its different levels give it a unique character. Each room has a different size and offers different views of the surrounding area. The guest rooms are divided over four levels with no more than four rooms per floor.
They have three suites with private bathrooms that have access to the garden and seven single and double rooms with shared bathrooms. There are never more than three rooms sharing one bathroom.
Please be aware that they have several cats and dogs living at the retreat center. They are all very friendly but if you should be allergic to cats or dogs, Buddha Retreats might not be the most suitable place for you.
