Vilalara Grand Hotel Algarve in Porches, Lagoa is launching its first official retreat: the Wellness Temple by Veronica Blume, running from October 30 to November 2.
The exclusive four-day experience, co-created with international model and yoga teacher Veronica Blume, will mark the start of a new chapter for the hotel – one focused on holistic well-being and mindful pauses.
Set against the backdrop of the Algarve’s golden cliffs, the retreat promises a fully immersive experience featuring practices such as yoga, meditation, sound healing, journaling, intuitive eating and restorative rest.
As the hotel points out, Blume is “one of the most famous models of her generation,” as well as a well-being icon. After an international modelling career, she embarked on a journey of consciousness, finding yoga as a “tool of great transformation.” Today, she uses her experiences as a form of “inspiring others to live with purpose, balance and authenticity.”
“Vilalara is the perfect place to stop time, with its sea view and surrounded by gardens and cliffs,” says Blume. “It’s a place designed for calm, to return to the essential, and to experience luxury through true well-being.”
Robert Neves, General Manager of Vilalara Grand Hotel Algarve, adds: “This retreat is an invitation to return to nature, surrounded by serene luxury that creates space for calm and well-being. Here, every detail has been designed as a bridge to a longer, healthier and more meaningful life. Vilalara created this event for ‘transformation’ to become more than just an idea, but a real experience.”
The retreat also aims to highlight the hotel’s culinary prowess, with guests enjoying exclusive menus crafted for the occasion across Vilalara’s five restaurants.
The Wellness Temple by Veronica Blume is available exclusively via the hotel’s official website, with packages starting at €1,980.
